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 and becomming very outdated.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.

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
