Hey guys,

I am interested in purchasing a R33. . Just wondering if anyone knows of a mechanic or a place where I would be able to take it for them to do a full check on it for me (maybe compression and leak down test as well).

OR

If there are MOBILE turbo specialists.

Around the bankstown area only please and ONLY THOSE WHO MOSTLY DEAL WITH SKYLINES

Thanks

just ring nrma mate, a cars a car.

if you want to know some common things to look out for, i think there is a sticky called "what to look out for when buying a skyline" or similar in the tutorial/faq section

im from bankstown and there really isnt anyone around who specialises in skylines. you might want to go to gcg and see if they have a decent mechanic in there (eldrigde rd) and there is No Limit Spares on Cottam ave off canterbury rd. (i cant vouch for those guys, ive never dealt with them) thats all i can think of in bankstown. CRD are on silverwater rd, only 15mins away. advan are also good with skylines, also on silverwater rd.

nrma do good inspections so fork out the $150 or whatever it is and you'll get a rating. good thing about that is if something seriously stuffs up on the car after you've bought it and it is not mentioned in the nrma inspection then i think you can make the nrma liable (dont quote me, im going off what i hear).

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
