I reckon most people here would wish you the best of luck in finding a cheap R33 'gem'. We all like a success story around here, if the comments seem a little negative then it's only because we don't want you getting stung.

good luck mate.

Personally I reckon you'd be doing well to find a manual 95 or newer under $18,500 that was worth paying money for.

even if you import them through a broker you wont do much better than that. just remember - there's about a three thousand dollar premium on the manual box.

so for a 93 - you might find one for $17 ?

btw - I had a listen to Rev210s car the other night, and it sounded pretty healthy. that flywheel makes it so much more free-revving!

yeh dude 17grand is cheap for a good skyline maybe u should save a little more and then get a nice one, u'll be really pushing it to find one for that money. and of course u'd be offended if your selling your car for 19 and someone tries to get it for 16 - wheres the logic?

Your Silvia was a complete loss because it's auto, N/A, what did u expect? ..if you're after a decent 33 with a straight body, no panel damage, immaculate interior and a well kept engine, you won't be paying budget prices. There is a shortage of good ones around. $25k+

Personally I doubt most private sales will get anywhere near their original asking prices. People are shying away from the import market due to insurance and finance hassles, this is bad for sellers.

People want imports, but sometimes, the hassles involved do not justify paying big $$$ for.

Silvia1992, keep looking dude, when you have one you like, take it to a workshop that works on these cars day-in-day-out and get them to test it. RAC are useless. Best of luck!

i baught mine recently for 19500 haggled down from 22 as payed in cash and offered various sexual favors 1995 Type m skyline White stock as a rock , but spotless in and out , engine runs well no problems! . i was once looking at ones in M Motors justl ike you for like 16000 17K! i was like yeah cheap skyline

but i had a look at a few and realllll most of them arent a particular high grade just be careful and dont buy around cannigton area :) other than that your right

and theres a guy up north in wangara that i would steer clear of aswell just ask around . dealer warrantys are worth stuff all aswell

I'm about to buy a 1994 R33 GTS25 (Non-Turbo) for $13,000. Its very stock, no mods wats so ever, just a JVC stacker. And done about 90,000km with new tyres with the stock rims. Its got all the usual features, air con, HICAS etc, but no ABS. How is this for value? Wat do u guyz think, any advise would b appreciated.

Thanx...:P

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
