[macca20042]

im currently looking at purchasing a R33 GTS-T and was wondering what sort of advice you have in regards to servicing, parts costs, reliability issues or anything i should look out for when purchasing one.

Hey mate, I bought a 33 series II not to long ago. You can pick up 33's pretty cheap these days. Although, if you can find one thats pretty stock, that means the bogan before you hasnt been playing with stuff, pulling interior panels out and spraying them with paint from supercheap or winding up that bleed valve, i couldnt be happyer with mine. Runs like a wet dream and parts arnt as expensive as some cars, quite good prices really. wide range of aftermarket parts. goodluck.

Get a full service at an import mechanic when you get it. Have a compression test done if it already hasn't had one done.

Parts aren't too expensive. Some local cars cost more to run. R33's are pretty reliable and robust. I haven't had one problem with mine and I've had it for a year now. Just look out for heavy mods as this implies abuse. Stock is the best way to go. Lastly, series II are nicer than the series I and hold their value better.
