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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
