Gotta love barges! My dad's new motor Plans are a big hit with the lowering stick and some rimmage I have a set of Tanabe lowering springs going spare that will get you to this stage. I've now fitted coilovers and mine sits like this...

Hmm seen one for £1800 with the v8 engine, in gold If it's the one on eBay with 177k on it, be prepared to spend another £1000 on it pretty much straight away. It's on it's anniversary of having a big service and cambelt/tensioner/waterpump change, and if these things had been done already, I'd expect it to be reflected in the price. There's a reason pretty much every other GS430 around is at least £3500.

It is that one, still leaves money for coilovers and some money towards 19/20's lol - but cheers for the heads up, I very rarely think things through. I'm thinking, do I buy one get it out of my system and then get something else or stick with my little compact and buy the girlfriend a jimny that I can use in winter (got a new job starting next week and it means I have to get to work, what ever the weather)

This is my barge.It's a Nissan Skyline R33 Gtst 2.5 litre single turbo.Goes like the proverbial & is a proper limo for comfort.The only downside is the auto box but I intend to convert to manual later this year.Alos intend to fit coilovers & 18 x9.5's all round.
