hey, welcome to the forum.

There are alot of things to consider. best bet is to call just car and ask them for a quote, say you are considering buying one and they will let you know what you should expect to pay. You can also do online quotes at any of the insurance websites.

cheers

I'm 22 and have been insured since 17 with no accidents or liscence suspensions and it costs me 1600 for a stock one with rims and a decent stereo. I also got a quote for when I've done all the stuff I want and it is 1800. (Turbo back exhaust, FMIC, Aftermarket computer, suspension, sway bar, strut brace) That was through Just Car.

Less than I expected. Suprising thing was, it would have cost me 2200 for a GTIR pulsar.

its hard to find a standerd r33 ay?? most of them have had things done to them, il start looking in a couple weeks, :rolleyes:

Yeah, there was less of a selection of stock ones, and heaps of the modified ones were sweet, but I have to meet clients a lot and generally arrive and leave in my car, so a really loud car with a crazy bodykit can give a bad impression to the people I have to deal with. So a sleeper is the only option for doing it up.

If you want some the modifications, it's generally heaps cheaper to get one with them already done (the purchase price wouldn't be cheaper, but in the long run it ends up cheaper) Obviously make sure to get an inspection done to check that it isn't stuffed.

A lot of dealers offer a 3 year warranty (for a price)

Goodluck

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
