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.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
