Thinking of buying my 1st car soon and was looking into the Skyline market instead of the Civic market ..

Noticed the R33, non-turbo automatic which are usually a good price (10k - 16k) :D

Just letting everyone know, only want one for looks - not for racing etc .. lol :D

So turbo, manual etc isnt really an issue for me .. Any opinions for buying one for my 1st car?

Oh and im 17 btw :D

Yeah I'd found them for 10-15k on carsales and some were modified (looks) quite nicely and some with low kms too .. is there anything wrong with having one? My friend said they're heaps heavy & go slow etc .. obviously hasnt put me off lol :D

as i know turbo/non turbo or manual/automatic cost the same, for R33 GTS25t u would pay the same like for the non turbo.

so u dun't need 2 use ure car 4 races but u can have a LOT of fun with it and if u want it 4 show, its better with turbo 'coz if u go down from the gas ure bov makes pretty sounds =D

i would recomment R33 GTS25t and could also recomment a good importer if u like

had have a R33GTS25t automatic for 2000 USD but had have 160 000Km condition was ok, clean interior

I think I'll have it for 3-4years just until I have my full license, and I agree that turbo would be good for show too but you arent aloud to have turbo on your L's or P's in New South Wales ;)

Oh and just for the record, after one exactly or similar to this:

17 years old? Go the NA. Expect to pay around 14k (give or take 1K/1.5K). The NA will be good to get practice on - jumping straight onto a turbo might be fatal if your not careful. Shop around - or look at the importers like allblitz, jspec etc. And post up pics when you do get one ;)

ok look here....

if you want a turbo and end up getting an NA, you will regret it! trust me on that 1

i bought a 93 R33 GTS4 auto not too long ago in very good condition and low Ks, only ended up costing me 7.5grand all up ;) but it was off a family friend so that helped a bit lol.

i do regret getting it though coz i started off with a wrx lol and well.....theres a huge difference between em. but since its your first car then go for a NA R33, still get the looks, comfort, etc ;)

best of luck with whatever you get ;)

u calling me an idiot?

so like you hit 20 and you fully know how to handle a turbo car. lol. ok. sure.

but then again... you are special :(

seriously, statistics show and prove every year, more teenagers lose control of high powered cars than any other age bracket.

if not having a turbo car cuts the death rate by 70%+ then there shouldnt be 18-20 yos driving turbos... simple.

I agree with freddy on the R33 GTS4 quite unique . Although extremely heavy and slow, not good for skids if you are bit of a terry. But otherwise should be able to find a n/a r33 for under $10K.

I think the GTS4's come with 5 stud hubs too, another benefit if you are looking for wheels.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
