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.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
