Im not going to pay outrageous prices for local ones, but ive seen some decent cars sold from the sunday times last sunday. Skipper rippoff mitsubshi sells r33 1993 skylines for $17999, and i passed on a bunky one in canning vale for $14000, so anywhere in that ball park is were i wanna start. No NOS kits sorry!

paul

Why would I buy a private sale for $17000, if i can get a dealer one for $17999 with a warranty? Unless this car had some sort of modifications? What is the car details, man, turbo?

What defines a serious buyer, i just sold my silvia so i guess you could call me a definate buyer cause i need a car to drive to work.

paul

also what are the km on the clock, what colour?

also the $14000 one only had a front nudge on the vehicle which required a new bumper support, thats why it was priced accordingly.

I would not consider $17,999 for a 93 manual , turbo Line expensive , especially with a warranty. If you want a real cheap one ,import one and take the risk.

The number of 'decent' skylines on the market is rather low. Once you have driven a good one you will know what I mean.There are many 'good lookers' with mechanical issues. I'd say ignor the low kms tags and just evalutate the mechanicals for themselves. After all this is what low kms is supposed to indicate.

If you can find a 'good' R33 for $17,999 then you are laughing. Most around are not 'good'. Expect upwards of $22k for something decent, that sort of budget is realistic. More for a 95' in good nik or a series 2.

Geez,

$22+ for a 1993 - 1995 car. I just sold my silvia i imported two years ago for a complete loss, cause thats all they are worth.

Consider

1992 silvia NA, auto

Remus 2.5" exhaust, twin tips

Apexi Air filter

New tyres

Apexi extractors

Strut braces etc etc

I bought this car a year ago for $10000, i sold him last week for $6500, it had done 140000km.

But $22000+ for a ten year old car is getting up there, i could be looking at 1998 wrx's and stuff for that kinda money.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
