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

    • I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.
    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
    • wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
