Depends what you're after. I looked at a 2 door manual for 13k... got the check out of randomness. It turned out to have a few issues (asked mech for quotes... $$$ expensive!!).

I kept looking... test drove a bunch from 15-18k. Ended up picking one for 15k, 1 broken wheel stud, and possible bearings (found out it wasn't so all good). Stud has been replaced, front tyres replaced and RWC. I had a Master check from RACQ.

The car is worth more, has a few mods, decent km's (cat back exhuast, apexi rsm, safc II, stock boost/turbo, 17" rims, geniune momo leather steering wheel, blitz bov, new heavy duty gtr clutch). Up in Brisbane these go for 16-18k depending. Owner had full reciepts of all work done since imported and complied 6 months ago.

Was for a quick sale as he just lost his license (haha u-turns). So far it's gone well. For 15k I'm happy, but it's just luck, it really should have been more. This is a Series 1 1993. I'm speaking Brisbane prices here, and tidy cars. 15k will usually get you a 1993 with 100+km and a few problems for you to deal with.

Just keep looking and don't rush, it's taken you 18 years to get here... a couple weeks won't mean squat. I have to wait an extra day for new tyres on the front... I don't really care, it lets me work more :(

Keep looking champ... I read the posts... where are you located? I love a good challange, finding models that are decently priced and good condition. Just play the time game, somebody always wants the cash more eventually. Heck there is a clean 4 door R33 in Brisbane going for ~13k, female driver, RWC etc... Heck I think it's less! Auto though... but damn it is clean (though you should always get checks!!).

Good luck!

Yea, maybe I should just look around (I've waited 23 years actually!) I'm located in Brisbane too! But 13k for an auto 4-door R33 is kinda steep unless it's modded... and some lady drivers I know of drive even faster than guys!

I've found a 13.5k stock auto coupe, but the owner said there's some rattling at the rear, so I'm not very optimistic about it (unless it's just a few bolts loose). :ermm:

Do you still have the 4-door R33's contact? :D

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
