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.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
