no idea to be honest... i personally would have paid up to $13-14k for it.

there's not much of a market for them really, it's flooded with $8-11K garbage. not to mention the fact that every other wannabe would rather/can get a 200rwkw for next to nothing.

the clean, straight, low km, stock examples are far and few between.

Hey just recently sold my R33 gts25 for $10.2k to the gf had it advertised for 11.5k but was getting next to no response. 1994, full 2.5 inch zorst, pod, steering wheel, 18s body kit and 92xxx genuine kms.

When selling mine found there was not much of a market for non turbo's so u should be able to pick one up quite cheap-cheap i say!

i payd $11,500 for a 97 series 2 r33 non turbo AUTO. very very clean, from a car dealer, shitty 4 month warranty but anything is better then nothing and im the first owner in australia.

the reason i got an auto was because it was alot cheaper then the manual and for a first car i really couldnt be botherd getting a manual license,il drive manual when its worth driving (turbo)

anyway all in all mine is in very good condition and is perfect for what i need it for. a daily driver, something that looks good and has a little more power then most and is very easy to drive with decent fuel consumption.

for what its worth dont get an r32 they are very old (almost 20 years old!!!) and becomming very outdated. especially if your dealing with non turbo/non performance skylines then newer is better.

sold my n/a about 4 months ago.

it was a black 1993 r33 gts4 automatic.

had a full kit.

87,000Ks

excellent condition all round, interior was closest thing to brand new.

dual airbags (driver/passenger)

sold it for $8000 with rwc and 3months rego.

personally i'd never pay more than that for an n/a skyline.

pod filter, exhaust, extractors is alot more grunt then a r33

somehow i doubt that that would give you a 26kw gain. if it did it would only make it similar in power to a 33. then do the same mods to a 33 and it will have much more power than the 32.

stock NA 33 = 104kw/ton

stock NA 32 = 94kw/ton

stock vx commodore = approx 98kw/ton

I bought my 33 from a dealership on the gold coast, MJR Motorsports, They are excellent for importing stock clean low k's cars.

Mine is a 1997 R33 GTS25 Series 2, It had 40,xxx KLMS when i bought it, ive done 4000 so far, it was 100% stock when i bought it, So far ive only put a cat back exhaust on it.

It dynoed in at 160HP/116KW At the wheels with the cat back exhaust only.

I paid $16,500 for it, A bit pricey yes, But if you see my car you would understand, Exterior, Interior and engine bay is next to showroom condition.

    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
