Welcome to the forums. It's always great to have new members. Good luck in your hunt for a skyline. Take your time, and make sure that you are going to be happy with it. The only sound advice I can pass on is get a really decent alarm system fitted. Unfortunately it is getting to the stage where you need it as a much as you need 4 wheels on the car. Viper do a good alarm. Have a look on ebay for them cos you can generally pick them up a lot cheaper than what you would pay for the same thing here. This is mainly cos the distributor doesn't get any decent rebate on them from Viper. Still, never-the-less they are a great Alarm system. Look forward to seeing you on one of the cruises when you get your new set of wheels

strongly agree on getting an alarm on eBay happy to send you a PM of a legit seller of good alarms

raa are crap .

my 2 cents

they dont know nething bout performance cars, i got them to come out one time to check my r34 when i was having trouble with it and the guy couldnt even tell me what was wrong with her.

honestly take it too a place that deals with performance cars day in and day out so you know that they know what they are doing and talking about.

raa = waste of monies

p.s get an alarm asap though (like everyone else has said)

Whats the asking price and what type of 33 is it (year gt or gtst etc)

15g but he is willing to take 14g, Its a gtst.

[Madaz]

has it got an alarm already Brittz

[Hotwire]

14-15 sounds about right, pending what's on the car and the condition. I paid $15k for my 33GTSt earlier this year. do you have a link to an add for the car, or list some more details?

[brittz]

has it got an alarm already Brittz

yeah, But im hell paranoid so might scrap that one if its shit and get a good one done.

Sounds pretty good, very similar features to what my car had so at a glance price seems fair. I would be cautious of the said rust spots though. Where abouts are they?

[Madaz]

good idea about scrapping it and starting again

can always sell the old one for cheap too

AH Robski is a member here will be a well looked after ride

rust is on the side of the door.

[Hotwire]

well if its only small, should be an easy fix by any decent panel beater. Best of luck, hope the checkup comes out well

[Madaz]

honestly i wouldn't bother with RAA now we know who owned it ring up Shaun from boostworx and ask him about the car 'ROBSKI' you may think its funny buy Shaun has a meticulous memory he will know if its good or bad

[Pauly33GTS-t]

yeah that car sounds ultra-familiar i reckon i seen it more than a few times.

[Cubes]

Hey, welcome to the forums. Alot of RAA mechanics dont really no a great deal about turbo performance vehicles "in my experiences anyway". Your best bet is to go to a performance workshop for a once over.

They don't know a lot about anything.

I bought a 3yr old VS 5ltr 5speed some years ago; had it RAA inspected only to discover within a week of owning the car it had loose engine mounts, water running down the side of the block due to a leaky inlet manifold, minor chassis rail damage of which wasn't mentioned on the report and an incorrectly installed tail shaft centre bearing which caused vibrations and thumping on acceleration.

[nos man]

well what i would advise is to get the vin/ engine number and all that! you should check to see if the numbers the person has given you are the actual numbers on the car! and then call up or go onto ezyreg and check! it'll tell you if the car is defected, stolen or finace owing on it etc etc! and then a raa check would be nice!

[sinistaGTR]

buy my car lol

[Deluxe]

Welcome! Yeh do as Steve said, Ring up Shaun at Boostworx and see what he knows about the car! Still get the RAA check you were gonna get, that way you might be a bit happier with the results!

GL anyways!
