Yeah mate they are great cars i was the same as you looking at R32 GTRs or R33s, if you want performance and a good daily driver the Skyline is perfect.

It took me about 12 months and i found my R33, i payed $8000 more at the time.

But the work that had gone into this car was more than i was going to do to a stock one, it had reciepts of all the work done on it and the previous owner poured thousands of dollars into it.

So just be paitient and something will turn up, but i would buy a modified one, make sure it has reciepts of all work and dyno tunes.

Good luck with it.

hey guys , thanks alot for all this input and making me feel welcome , i really have in mind what i would like a series 2 gunmetal grey r33 stock or with minor mods like exhaust / blow off , although i seem abit weary of the unknown / jap name exhaust systems on some skylines i have seen wheather this makes a difference or not im not sure that just me,

i will just have to wait around and hopefully i can get some decent money for my ute as i dont really want to get a loan and the chance of getting a decent r33 for around 10 - 11 g is a little dreamy i think

Demoniak , that sounds like a pretty good deal u got there , do u mind me asking what dealer it was from ?

Bunta , neat car mate , but i would really like gunmetal grey or silver last options black or white , lol red just isnt my colour and i know i just wouldnt be happy with it :)

also on a way off note a fella i work with has a black r33 skyline with the plates im2qik do any of u know this car at all ? he took me to a workshop and showed me it , it looked fairly tough ..

BUY MINE!!!

ha ha welcome mate they are a great car you will have a blast if you get one

hey ghost...

sure mate... i also think he had a silver one there with 90,000 on the clock for 12 flat on the road ( hes got lots there still, just give him a yarn)

heres a direct link to what he has got ( however he gets more in, so just ask him)

Even though i had to do some pissy little things to the car, he was very easy to approach, he let me spend 4 hours checking out 2 cars, test drive 3 of em, and get 1 checked out by another mechanic..

And as you will see, there are very moderatly priced ( considering you get warranty with them too + rego )

Happy hunting ;)

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
