Hey guys and Gals,

Recently got into the whole skyline scene and have been reading your forums for a few months now and finally decided to take the plunge and start trying to get one.

my projected car is, because im 17, soon to be in melbourne, a NA R33 S2 White Manual. I'm looking for as much advice as possible so please be positive and negative towards my decision because i would like the best skyline for me. I'm Possibly being recruited into the navy so i can get a loan no problems, but the only problem would be me getting the car from the import place back to Crib Point.

My name is Kyle, and ive loved skyline since i first started playing Underground back in the day, and have recently witnessed the power of a GTS-T R33 and decided i would like to one day have a 34 GTR. as i am getting a GTS this is my stepping stone to my dream car.

thanks guys,

Kyle

Welcome to the Forum Kyle :(

Yep as Black Widow said loads to learn on here just read through the many pages or use search button as you will probably find the info you need has been posted before :(

So you have a NA R33 on it's way on a boat now?

I havn't actually ordered it as of yet, as i said im potentially in the navy, so i dont particularly want to let her sit in queensland where i am currently and have her waist away to nothing. besides ive found on to be imported for about 8-10k in melbourne. the beauty of having my car down in melbourne with me is when ever i want to go to a meet im not very far away where as i live in the sticks where i am at the moment.

thanks for the speedy replies and can't wait to meet some of you in future events.

i rang a place today from the forums called GT Gran Turismo Autos, he said he would look after me. so i may take his word for it. IF anyone knows this company please dont hesitiate to tell me if they are good or bad, because the last thing i want it a dodgy skyline that i have to then put in like 5-6 grands worth of work

Well this is the risk we all take :) ...Thought of the option of buying a NA R33 in Victoria privately? Then you can see the car and get it check out before you buy it?

There is this site : http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/

the reason i wanted to import was because i just wanted the whole works when they come into australia and they get the full check over and get fixed if anythings wrong with them. thats all. plus i want to have this car for as long as i can.

but i see your point, ive always wanted it white, and i dont know anyone in melbourne so i dont know how id get from one end to the other.

Well if you go through a company here I am sure they do that and get the best car for your "money"

should have a look on car sales, trading post, car point websites and see what R33 GTS are around in melbourne...and buy a Navman :thumbsup: he will tell you how to get around..

You would know your way around Mel in a month no probs..It didnt take me long to know my way around Sydney :)

I would just way up all your options :P..It might be cheaper to buy one that's already here...Plus I like to see what I am getting before I buy it..But that's just me

the nav man, i am actually thinking about buying a In car GPS, so hopefully they dont set me back to much, and yep i know where your coming from with a private sale, ive just had my heart set on this type of car for a while, and if i cant find any that i like il end up having to import anyway.

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
