Wanting to buy a turbo R33?

skyliner33wa · June 7, 2003

Hey all,

I am looking for a R33 Turbo probably 1995 - 1997, i've been to a few car yards and had a look in this weeks autotrader, and can't find anything?

does anyone else know where i can find one, don't want to import, i went to Statewide, downunder, st james, and bentley autos but nothing?

thanks

Kris

ps this car has only been driven for 3 weeks since buying it from autoworx as my son [the owner] works up north and gets 1 week off every 4 weeks the price is negotiable.chris

Kris. I was in a similiar position (but im heading over to the dark side... more on that later) but shop around and hassle as many people as you can. Ask as many questions as you like and drive as many cars as you can. Most of the places i went to, were very funny about insurance and wouldnt even let me look at the car, without looking over my shoulder constantly. Getting a test drive also proved difficult (at some of the dodgier places)

Remember you get what you pay for. I looked at some for around 16K and they were in really awful condition.

Places i found that had good cars were Autoworx, C Red and Extreme Machines. There are other places that sell good cars, however if i was buying a skyline (and i almost put a deposit down on one) i would visit these guys again...

Various people told me negatives and positives about all three, however i only found them to be more than helpful. They also had the more expensive cars i came across BUT they were in far better condition.

Cheers

Mat

Like i said, i looked around for a line and came across a couple i really like.... Glad i didnt buy one. I love them, but they are so impractical for me. Looked around for a Chaser too, but i want a newish car!

The thing that changed my mind was a ride in a good mates club spec 4!!!! u may know the car....... The other one i went in (similiar) was almost as quick.

So yeh in the market for a rex (has to be silver) and im in no hurry, because i soon as i get it, everything has to go in (new box, turbo, ecu etc.........) When the right car comes along (and i know the one i want!) i'll jump right in.

You had a skyline didnt you. How do you find they compare (i've driven both and i like em both)

C-Red · June 9, 2003

Dude! Nooooooooooo.

Jash

docile · June 9, 2003

hahaha sorry dude. Your car was awesome and i liked the one from autoworx, its just that i ALWAYS have full size passengers, gotta cart lots of gear around (fishing gear, dive tanks, golf clubs etc) and the insurance is a bit cheaper.

Wot i would give to own both........

C-Red · June 9, 2003

I didnt mean that dude - I meant no to the Wrecks. Surely you can find something else?

wtf are you buyin a rex for then? the space in the back of a skyline coupe is about 2 times better than a wrx coupe!

lol @ new box. at least you're realistic about something.

docile · June 9, 2003

I've driven modded versions of both and i really like them.

The back seats are easier in a rex than a skyline, with the extra two doors etc. I've sat in them and the rexes definitely have a bit more room. Havent seen the boot for a skyline, so i dont know how big it is etc.

Unfortunately both are getting pretty common, so it has to be different.

Although $$, a better box has to come straight away.... You have to be realistic!!

Hey kym,

The km's seem a little low for a 1993 i mean 54,000 seems a little dodgy, i still will check this car out
