hey there,

I was looking for some help in finding places in sa that sell imports. mum has jumped on the bandwagon and would like to get one :-) So we were wondering if any of you guys new of some places that sell r33s or similar cars. We had a look at redline but thought there might be some more around, I bought mine privately but dad would like to have a good look at what is around. Any help would be apprieciated.

Thanks in advance (i hope some one can help)

is your mum an Italian or Greek maybe Serbian looking lady sorry im not so good on European looking people (knowing Greeks and Italians don't like being mixed up

if shes after 4 doors she can buy mine lol shameless plug

Deffinatly look privately is my opinion, car yards are an absolute rip-off from what I saw when I was in the market a year or two ago. Sure they say they have a warranty but from what I have heard their warranties are generally useless.

One good example, when Aristo's started popping up, some car yards had them for 22,000+ and much lesser quality then the better ones I had seen on j-spec for almost half that.

You could also try Fitzroy Cars in Pooraka. I was fairly impressed with those guys when I bought mine.

Yeah i looked at Fitroy's last year and they have alot of awesome cars... only prob they want like 21g's for a stock S2.

yeh dont go redline, bought my GTR from there and had alot of problems with it since. I'd go synergy (Talk to Kim if ya do, drives a silver V35, very nice. Dont know if he works there but he's there most of the time, can help ya out, or import one if needed) i'd buy one off SAU tho. Good luck with ya purchase :D

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
