plus that's the price you would have paid for one in tokyo in $AU. not in australia.

i would think a new nissan murano (for example) costs more here in $AU than the same model in japan. see what i'm saying?

edit: what ^^ he ^^ said :)

Thanks for the response guys - appreciate it!

I did some asking around, and it seems R33's were around $45,000 AUD plus import fees when they first came out...

By the way, the true and factual name for for all skylines are WR33 - fact. Not just R33 as we know it now... it has just been abbreviated.

There was never any W in the R33 model code. There where ECR33, BCNR33, HR33 & ER33 depending on wether they where turbo, four door, two door, two wheel drive or four wheel drive. Follow the link earlier in this post and you will see them.

Hi guys, my apologies, you are right... I did a typo... HR33 - for turbo... got mixed up with WR instead.... edit to that.

R33 GTS-T $48990 drive away :) .

A few years ago I can remember when i saw a R34 GTT going for $45000 in a second hand car yard.

So new they were probly around the $50000 mark.

I have an early (1999) issue of high performance imports magazine which has an article on one of the first R34 GTTs in Australia. It was brand new at the time (less than 100kms) and the importer in Queenlands was asking $90,000 for it. (GTRs then were over $150k)

The article argues that the GTT is a direct competitor for BMW E36 M3 which at that time retails for $140000 in Australia. So it is a very reasonable price for an unique high performance import.

when they released the R34GTT in NZ it was $60,000 NZ at the NIssan dealers, at the time the exchange rate was crap so it would have been about $50,000 AU then add on luxury tax etc.

Brand new R34 GTRs were $120,000 NZ from the dealer as well, a pretty good deal compared to what was being charged for 2nd hand ones here at the time $150,000 Au +++.

^^^ Right, so when you take into exchange rate at the time, competitors prices and japanese prices AND what people would be prepared to pay for such a car at the time, Nissan AU would probably charge a tad under $60,000 when new. It wouldv've come in for about $63 - 65,000 drive away depending on what the dealer could get away with.

Thanks for the responses guys, I guess lets say $45k when new for turbo r33 gst-t would be fair?

I love skylines, especially the r33's with a nice kit that is...

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
