16-18k if in good nic

True, I saw some for around 16 that look fine in pics but upon inspection were in really bad condition. buy one under 16k and most probably it will be not very good to put it kindly. Or simply put a pos.

you should be able to get Good S2 stock standard (exhaust/POD) for about 16,500 - 18K the latter with really good wheels and FMIC.etc.. The problem is lot of people have them for sale but can not sell them (No demand) so even if it's listed for 18K if your a serious buyer should be able to get it down!!!!..

as for K's well...All Japs are like that..so just check for condition of the car and get good checkup done by Jap Performance workshop (not by VicRoads/RACQ).

then you should be ok, also do a 100,000K service regardless of the K's if the current owner dont have receipts for it.

i got mine for 16,500 mint example but it was for sale at 18500.....you should track carsales/carpoint for some time and spot the owners getting desperate as time goes by and bounce...worth or not market is determine by demand

:sorcerer:

well, demand can be because of various reasons....i personally think there are too many of them around also the whole hoon image...but don't want to go their...

which state are you in....depending on that every state sub forum will have tread/s about workshops and most workshops do inspections for a fee (compression, leak down test, general under body corrosion , accident damage, cooling system and so on) also check for it to see if the car has clear title (no loan or finance owing) can also do VIN check....their is tread for that in this forum too... ;)

My advice go for a mint S2 r33 GTST (the newer the better) 40th anniversary model is the most sort after R33 S2 - pre loved one already in the country and trust me you will be very happy.

Good luck

totally agree with whats already been said, I got my 96 S2 R33 with AVS wheels and a couple of other little things, low k's and immac condition, for 16, they were asking 18. Have a good look and you can find some good value cars....just check out the previous owner and how they cared for the car aswell...

    • 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  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
