Hey guys. I've got an S14 for sale which is hot pink. Before you pull out the "omgwtfhotpink?" posts, I purchased this car for use as a track car, so the colour would have been changed anyway. I bought it with intentions to strip it and then rebuild it from the ground up (welded in cage etc) but the car is much too complete to do that to, and I'd rather have the cash atm than start working on a car.

A little info about the car:

  • The whole car has been stripped and then painted hot pink, so the entire chassis is the same colour.
  • The paint looks red in the dark, but in sunlight looks like a purpley pink... very heavy pearl.
  • The removable panels on the car are all factory maroon (ie: boot, bonnet, doors, front bumper, rear bumper, wing).
  • Car has an SR20DET, and an auto gearbox. Healthy engine and transmission.
  • Starts and runs on the first go every time, idles normally, and has been recently serviced with fresh oil, filters etc.
  • There is a slight wheel bearing noise from the front driver side, which requires the hub to be replaced. I can organise this to be done prior to delivery of the car for an additional cost of $150.
  • I believe the car was bought from auction by the previous owner as a financial writeoff. He then sold it to me after completing the repairs necessary.
  • Car is not currently registered.
  • Car has REVS history and will need to have a VIV inspection prior to registration.

I'll post up some pics tomorrow as I don't have any pics of it atm, and its a little dirty so I'll take some pics after I've washed it.

Asking $6000 for it ono. As it starts and runs can be transported interstate cheaply... however this will be at your cost. Free delivery if you're in the Melbourne metro area.

I will be ebaying it shortly, so get in before it goes for auction.

Had a couple of pics on my phone from a few days ago. I still haven't had a chance to wash it or make it look nice :) But it should give you an idea of what the car looks like as far as colour scheme goes. The entire chassis (engine bay and all) is that pink colour the rear quarter is in.

cool car! just wondering is it road worthy? sorry for asking these kinda questions but i'm kinda lost here..thanks!

It has a couple of items that may need to be fixed for roadworthy, the ones off the top of my head that I can think of are the windscreen wipers needing to be fixed (they're there, they just don't work... I'm guessing the wiring's not hooked up properly) and the wheel bearing noise needs to be fixed (on S14's this means the whole hub needs to be replaced, I can have it done for an extra $150).

Keep in mind this car has REVS history and will need a VIV prior to registration. I've never gone through this before, so I can't tell you how hard or easy it is, but I'm told the inspection is very detailed.

Basically I cbf doin any work on this car, so I'm selling it as is. I'm selling it as a running track car with complete interior etc, whether you choose to get it registered or strip it and use it as a track car, I leave it up to you. My mate just sold his S1 S14 for 15,000 (mind you it wasn't hot pink and it was manual)... but I'm sure for the $9000 you save you can repaint the car and convert it to manual :thumbsup:

If I don't get $6000 for it, then I'll just strip it and make it a track car, as this was my original intention when I got it.

Still asking the same price, $6000.

For track use only or for parts. Car starts and runs fine, can be shipped interstate at your cost. If you want to try and put it back on the road, I'll leave that up to you, I'll hand over any receipts I have for it and the rest is up to you.

All pics posted are available in 8MPX resolution. Post in this thread (DO NOT PM, I get about 30 PM's a day and don't get around to them for ages) which pic you want a higher res version of.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
