1998 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS25t Series II Type-M 40th Anniversary Edition

Well actually it arrived Friday. Cleared quarantine today, went off paid the fees, car got transported to a workshop which is where I picked up and got it home.

Overall the condition is better than I thought- only thing major is a scratched front bumper and paint peeled rear spoiler which will be resprayed. Interior was a grade C and was stated worned out and dirty - turns out to be like near perfect! Its like cleaner than my previous car's interior before haha Exterior is great apart from the two up there. Engine is great... overall GREAT! Car is fairly standard cept for the Buddy Club P1s + a turbo timer. I'm happy.

Car was imported through David from Elite Auto Imports @ http://www.rpmlounge.com.au/ . Was very nervous at first and pretty daunting buying a car that I cant see but it all turned out fine! Ever needed a question need answering or wondering whats up with the car I just give him an SMS and he replies back pretty much straight away. The service is excellent second to none! Highly recommended!

On the way home i stalled at the lights - David and my brother pushed while I steered to get the car away from the intersection. Battery was dead - needed a jumpstart.

Very nice mate, congrats on the purchase, you have the full 40th anniversary bodykit (side skirts, end caps, 40th anniversary front bumper and optional gtr rear wing) which is very rare, dont ever sell the front bumper lol, it is very very rare :D

Hey congrats on the car vietorious, I'm thinking about importing one myself. I'd just like a few things answered first though, how much did you pay for compliance? and the car overall?

Replied to PM :)

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
