Moving To Sydney Soon - Lookin For A R33gts-t Steal Deal.......


Recommended Posts

Hello guys, just new to this forum, lookin to move to Sydney from NZ and have a 95-98 Series 2 R33 GTS-t in mind, where can I get the best deals - could anyone please give me a list of 'repossessed car / auction companies' in Sydney which are likely to have this car at steal deals - their web addresses?? Have been lookin in carsales.com.au, tradingpost.com.au, motorpoint.com.au, drive.com.au - which is the best one?? They all seem more or less the same, ie which one would you guys recommend??

I'm 30yrs old, lookin to grab a clean, preferrably lowered 95-98 car with mild or no mods for under 10k. Prefer white, no spoiler or stupid kit, and 17' or 18' deep dish Work Meister rims...ahhh..where can I pick up a 2nd hand set of deep dish rims/tyres and costs and or costs of lowering with king springs etc, what do u guys mostly use??

It will be a normal and sexy daily driver that I can park at the train station so nothing flash - and any ideas on insurance for a 30yr ol fart??

Please provide feedback if you can, your help will be much appreciated -- cheers n thanks!! RON laugh.gif

no matter how stock the car was.. I wouldnt be parking it at any train station for a long period of time.

check out the for sale section on this forum for good examples of cars for sale. Also the trader section can help you get parts/rims etc

brother from NZ wWOOOT!!

under 10k would net you a 95 model probably. Just gotta be patient, I've seen a couple for sale at that price.

I still think carsales is the best one so far, drive.com.au has way too many dealer ads, so don't even bother looking there.

I agree with Sammmmberteh, I wouldnt be leaving an r32/33/34 at any railway station car park in sydney!!!!

insurance? just cars would be the best. 13 13 26

or justcarinsurance.com.au

Personaly I wouldn't recommend Just Car insurance, as they are extremely expensive, and DO NOT give you choice of your own repairer (their really just for young hoons).

Being 30 yrs old you should be able to find a much better deal els where.

I know you really can't compare as it depends on age, driving record, suburb, colour of your underwhere etc.

I'd recomend GIO special vehicles or Lumley Special Vehicles (LSV). Ph:1300 88 56 16.

My R34 is insured with LSV full comprehensive for $31,398 with an annual premium of $1,227.

I had an accident last year (not at fault) and LSV approved repair with my usual panel beater who is extrememly expensive.

I don't know about you but I like to have that choice, have a serious accident with Just Car Insurance and your likely to have problems with the quality of repair.

Just my opinion.

Thanx mate for ur advice - I will consider that - do any of you use a R33 GTS-t as a daily driver to work, ie park in city or train station etc ??? From the looks of things, I suppose these cars are highly likely to get stolen from Sydney train stations...??

And I also been looking at the R32GT-R as a second option, which seems so cheap in Oz, are any of you owners of this super car who also use it as a daily car ??--- and is this car VERY likely to get stolen - whats the insurance and running costs like for this car??

cheers n thanx again guys....................

50% of 32GTR owners seems to forever have their car in the garage, in pieces, waiting for rebuild. Don't ever leave your car at train stations, it's unsafe. Grab a $200 shitbox and use that as a dialy driver. Where will you be living?

R34 sedan, Im pretty sure LSV wouldnt cover a skyline at a railway station all day. Just cars would prob be this guys best bet. Im sure LSV would want a bit more history. Justcars dont care if you leave your car at redfern station unlocked at night!

Oh, and Im not insured with JC anyway and yes, Id like to have my choice also but being new here...how likely is he going to know a good repairer? :D Im just saying they are most likely the company that would be the most able to insure him in HIS situation :)

For sure JC may be his best bet, but I'm suggesting a few other options he should look in to (as their may be better out there).

Don't know if LSV would cover him at a train station all day, would need to check.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
