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.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
