Hi guys,

I'm at the stage where I'm in a position where I have to sell my car due to financial reasons.

I'm asking for $16,000 - do you think that is reasonable for my R33 GtsT?

So here are some details

1996 R33 S2 GTS-T

98,000+ km

Tein coilovers

18" Work emotion wheels

Turbo back exhaust

Splitfire coilpacks

Pictures are here on members rides (scroll down abit)

If its still as clean and in good condition as in the pictures you posted I think its a good price to be asking with such low Km and modifications, thats what I paid for mine a couple of months ago.

If you need or want to get rid of the Work CR Kai's before you sell the car PM me and I'll probably buy them depending on condition.

There is someone here in Canberra who travels to Autostyle in Sydney to do their engineering... AutoStyle said they would let me get it done for what it costs them (it was a car I was looking at in their shop) and I thought they said about $500/$550. They would normally put mark-up on that if it wasn't one of their cars.

They didn't give me a name of the guy down here, but if someone knows who he is, it might be worth a try. You could always call them and ask who they use for engineering.

My brother had to get an engineer cirt for his coilovers just recently. Ray at Canberra Motorworks did it, I think it cost him around $350. I'm pretty sure the price varies depending on your mods and how much work the engineer has to do. I might be wrong though.

cool thanks guys! I'm only asking because my old man wants to get a ute, but I want him to get one of these bad boys!

I can only assume that these aren't straight off the showroom floor, so they would have to be engineered to be 20ft off the ground.

I dont want him to if it causes him all the grief of DICKSon.

I contacted the seller of the above testosterone filled hilux and asked whether or not it came with an engineer's certificate.

The reply was:

No she doesn't have an engineers certificate. You just need to take her to

an NRMA and they will certify her for the modifications.

Ta

The car is currently in NSW, so I will have to have it inspected before putting it in my name - right?

..now I don't know how to take that. Does that mean that a certificate isn't required, but NRMA will provide something that I can show for the inspection? Or regardless of what NRMA can certify, anything modified will need an engineer's certificate?

Hmm.. pondering. Any assistance will be awesomeness.

Haha yea finally finished uni for the year neway.

I would buy if off you, if only someone would buy myne for 16 grand lol

Sucks your selling. Hilux aye? I so wanted to buy a reasonably new hilux and raise it with massive wheels.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
