hey guys,

i'm new to the site and new to skylines in general. i posted this thread in another section of the site but i only found out about the NA section now.

i've had my Ps for a couple of months now and am looking for a first car.

a family friend of ours is selling a 93 model R33 GTS4 auto non turbo RB25DE. its black, immaculate condition inside and out, not a single scratch on the body. all stock except for the full body kit. its done 80,000 Ks. i know i should be going for a manual but i'm in Vic and have an auto license so i can't drive manual till i'm off my Ps.

he's askin $7,500 for it. does the price sound about right for this car? i have no idea what these cars go for

so any help is greatly appreciated

cheers

Sounds like a good deal to me, sucks with your laws how you need to wait till you're off your P's to drive a manual... I did both tests :rofl:

Yea so if you're keen on it get it, your only other option really is to get an even cheaper run about auto until you can get something nicer in a manual.. although for that price it could be considered a run about anyway.

Get it! :rofl:

save your money and buy GTR when you have money and skill to drive it.

he's not planing on getting a GTR now, he didnt even mention it? :thumbsup:

For that money you will not find a better car. period. get it before someone else does! cheap motoring. at that price there will be bugger all depreciation. RB25DE is pretty good on fuel too. I average around 9L/100km (manual). Just confirm that he has serviced it and not thrashed it too much!

If you've got your auto license but want a manual car, then do your manual test and then look for a manual car. Don't get an auto if you like driving a manual or you will regret it.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
