Buying An R33

[morgsj50]

hi all, i had a look at an r33 today, it was at an importers in melb, jumped in started it up and noticed the airbag light on the dash didnt turn off, well, to be honest i didnt notice if it came on at all, but what i did notice was that it was on permanantly although really, really faint..... would this be any real cause for concern??? also, on a different car i ran a check on the vin, now this number contained xxxECR33xxx so i'm assuming this is model specific ie. r33 however when i ran the check, it came back as an r34, is this likely to be a typo???

could be just a bad connection in the wiring, or the airbag if f**ked, ecr33 is r33. How was the rest of the cars?? good? good price? if your worried about buying a lemon take the car to a tursted machanic to be checked. (should do this any ways and done use one the car yard asks you to.)

Has the car got an aftermarket steering wheel?

thanks, it had the stock wheel on it, the light was on but like i said it was dim, kinda like when ya have a bad earth somewhere i guess... i'd be gettin it checked out and i checked the other ones numbers on the raws site, it came back all good and the nubers all match so i guess it was just a typo, but again i'll look into it more when the time comes

what dealer was this? If you want, I can give you a couple of dealers you can check out - they have some good r33's. If you are after somethign specific, they can also import one for you.
