1994 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS Non Turbo

5 speed

White

40,000 kms

17" mag wheels

Aftermarket bodykit

Lowered

$13,400

Interior condition is very tidy and is much better than the kms would suggest. Scratches to the front bumper and RHS have been professionally painted by the supplier. Runs well and is mechanically sound. Recently detailed.

where abouts did you see this?

im paying $16500 for the same sought of car.mine is the rarer GTS4 but with nothing modified and 84000km's.its very clean and been serviced every 5000km's.

it will cost all up $20000 for a few changes including the wheels etc.so i believe that is a VERY good buy.

Id be spending the extra $1000 and buying one of the R32 GTR's that Prestige has had on offer.

i dont think these 2 cars are even in the same league. does the term 'running costs' mean anything to you. if youre gunah suggest an alternative, try and make it a realistic one as that may actually help him...

on the original topic yeh i think it is a decent price, and if thats the car you want then go for it

people who havent imported themselves shouldnt praise the system so much. yeh the price tag is lower, what that doesnt include is the fact you know nothing about the car before it lands, you will have headaches for 2-3 months waiting for it to land, then u have to compliance and license it.

im sick of people praising the system as though its fool-proof. and i feel especially sorry for those who take this ignorant advice on the premise they are entering into the greatest deal of the century. a good exmaple is these 15 year old GTRs, come on people these arent 15 year old camrys theyre not going to be in the best condition when they arrive (esp the modified ones.)

Id be listening pretty closely to adam 32.

I absolutely agree that the R32 GTR is far from a suitable alternative to a 13k R33. Sure Geoff has '89 R32 GTR's for a bit of extra cash, but like adam 32 said, running costs and what about insurance, for a 20 year old!

By the time you buy the GTR, insure it, repair/maintain it you are going to be WELL over the 20k you guys are talking about, not to mention how much it will cost afterwards just driving the thing. I think the non-turbo is a sensible option, provided you are happy with the power levels, you'll sure as hell be spending a lot less on maintaining it.

Have fun with your purchase(s).

If i had a dollar for everytime sumone said get a R32 GTR id be rich! but yeah Adam is right.... the insurance alone would kill me!

As for the above car id say thats pretty good mine is a 1996 R33 series2 non turbo 40000ks i paid $16700 and i imported it

that one has a bodykit and mags aswell which is also pretty good

if you looked around, you could find a decent gtst already in the country for that price. importing a car now is almost not worth it, at least till the new laws settle down a bit.

i brought in a modded car recently under the old laws and found that the near stock cars were going for more than modded ones. just not worth it. you can only really save money if you go for the modded ones, and nows thats out of the equation.

    • Hey y'all, I have a completely stock 1991 R32 GTR, yesterday I took my car out and went for about a thirty minute drive. It was fine on the way there but when returning home I think the car might have gone into a limp mode. I was cruising in 5th gear around 130km/h, the hicas light came on and there was a significant loss of power. About a minute later I hear a thump, the car starts driving normal again and is fine the rest of the drive back. This is the second time its happened, same as now it was fine on the trip there. On the way back it had the hicas light on but that time I would feel the power going in and out before hearing the same thump and it being fine.  I have no idea idea what causing this, but if anyone has any ideas it would be great as a start chasing the cause of this. Also I can provide more details if needed. Thank you
    • When sanding across a convex panel, you need to sand, as much as possible, at right angles to the curve. If the panel is compound convex curved (ie curved in both directions) then you are SOL and have to use "craftsmanship" to get it right.
    • Today in Skyline arts and crafts!! I’ve made some progress.    had to put extra notes in there so I don’t stuff it up 😂
    • This sounds like me. And then why I leave shit that I had previously hobbled together broken. Lately I've changed strategies to "If I don't want to justify the money on decent stuff, I'm not going to justify hobbling it together". I'm still for DIY, but DIY it properly is more my thing. However, I am terrible on not setting up backups still... Which reminds me, I need to go backup some of my work VM machines... Oh, it's also why I've become a lover of building things into Docker Containers... Then I just need a machine that can run docker, and bam, that specific system is up and running, on the specific versions of everything I need for it to run (In the event a change in required software version breaks something else). Also, these days, my steep learning curves are spent with work related stuff, and on very varied projects, that my want to do other random projects like build a dashboard for my own car has dwindled away to "I just want the car running", which is my current PITA, as I'm getting the Landcruiser usable again, and it has just been non-stop the past 6 to 8 weeks of buying parts, and working on it. Oh, and tools that are meant to be fit for purpose... And they break, because 25 year old 4WD decides it's stronger... But by the time I have it ready to roll back out the drive way, nearly all the stuff in it will have been touched and serviced, so the damn thing better give me NO FREAKING ISSUES, for at least the next 50,000KMs! Just redone whole front of the motor, and resealed the up top stuff, replaced a bunch of things getting perished, new timing belt done, water pump, lower timing cover (Toyota diesel engine runs timing GEARS for the bottom half the motor, and a timing belt from halfway up to the top), new harmonic balancer, fix up the alternator, new thermostat, full swivel hub rebuild, new bearings and seals front and back, steering box rebuild, new battery, and today, it turns out a rear shock has let go, so four new shocks are about to go on order, and that will leave me with after the next run of work, to see if I need to order just a brake caliper re-seal, or if I'll need new pistons in them too. Oh, and I'll finish welding in the new floor sheet metal shortly too. Presently I just want it finished already... But once all the above is done, I still need to fully service diffs, gearbox, transfer, and motor. Then flush and bleed the clutch, and flush and bleed the brakes. But enough about our waffle, back to Duncan's heat problems... I think for Duncan he just gets a thermoswitch, and a manual switch to run some water misters. Thermo so it's only on above certain temps, and the manual switch so it can be turned off even if it is above certain temperatures. IE, switch on for "I'm now on track", then it doesn't need any "smart" computers that might try and do things wrong. And switch the thing off completely on the cool down lap, so when he stops in pits, there's not even a possibility of it dripping any water out to get him in trouble.
