Hi Guys i havnt posted for a while being in year 12 and all finishing my last few exams. i no this is a newbee question and all but as you can all see from my username that i got a non- turbo 33 (series 2). since i got this car i always knew i was going to get a 33 turbo at the end of the year after my exams have finished... personal reasons why i didnt get one at the start.

Anyway my question for you guys is that i no a few mates of mine whoo have got R33's series 2 turbo manuals for fairly cheap prices im talking between $13'800 - $15000 grand and they were in excellent condition. For me i really dont no where to look. Occasionaly i see them in private sales going for that cheap but there snapped up quickly. anyway what im trying to say to you guys is do you no any dealers or importers who do get rid of them for that price cause i no there out there and it can be done. I still got a week left of exams then im putting my car on the market and the big search is on for my series 2 r33 turbo. if any of you guys can point me in the direction of good dealers in SA or importers who sell them in that price range that would be great. i no auto tech had a white one a while ago for around 14 grand but i think thats gone. and sorry to ramble on like this. any help would be great thanks.

thanks again

bro if i was you id keep an eye on the For Sale (Private Whole cars only) forum, i know some cars are not local and most inter-state but there are some good cars on there for cheap and people will respect you for looking for a skyline from the forums.

I foound my car on there and im sure many others did 2!

give it a month and you'll find a nice 33 series 2 on there :D

good luck on your buy :cheers:

yeh i prefer buying private from someone not importing the car, im not really into doing the whole over the net or putting a deposit on a car that i have only seen in pictures.

Do you think what im looking for is reasonable or do you guys reckon its a price that rarely comes along??

they are private sales bro. i spoke to about 20-30 people about R32s and actually drove out and looked at about 15 cars. no1 will ask for a deposit for a car without u looking at it, if they do then u know not to go there. there is nothing is wrong with finding a car over the net.

yes your price is reasonable but im telling you thats where you should at least start to look.

Think he was talking about importing when he said "im not really into doing the whole over the net or putting a deposit on a car that i have only seen in pictures."

When I bought my car I had 2 pictures and an auction sheet! Gosh that was nerve wrecking but it turned out fine... and better than I originally thought! :)

I imported through Elite Auto Imports @ http://www.rpmlounge.com.au/forums/ - local Adelaide guy, highly recommended was always an sms away when I have a question for feeling uneasy about where my big wad of cash was going towards!

EDIT--

Basically im looking for places like auto tech imports, not car yards but like importers who bring in cars for you but still have some in stock so you can go and look at them, just like auto tech, lol its the only one i no.

i want to stay away for the buying the car over the net thing if i can go to an importer and they have 33's in stock that would be better and i no they would be cheaper then a regular car yard, so basically i want to know where these places are in Adelaide. thanks again for all your help so far i no i been a pain lol

does it have to be a series 2 or will you be ok with a series 1....there isnt a whole lot of difference between the 2 and personally i have a series 1 that kicks ass man....try going to rpmlounge.com.au and look through the import district section of the forum and yeah dave the importer Elite Auto Imports has imported a lot of good cars for my mates and they have been in immaculate condition so if ur looking for a cheaper option then sometimes importing is better as the aussie dollar is strong atm

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
