Hey,

I'm 17 and me and my father are going to begin looking for a n/a skyline, you see i have my heart set on this really nice one off the internet but my dad says that we cant just go and buy it because we need to see what others feel and drive like (i can see where his coming form) My dad has never driven a skyline, nor have i for that fact. so i was wondering if there were any import dealers or dealers with a few n/a r33's in Melbourne we could take a look at before we test drive the private seller.

Is the drive different from S1-s2 i know wear and tear due to age my make them feel different. so if you guys could let me know if there good dealers witch would most likely have any Manual 2 door r33s non turbos. Please provide location too please.

thank you, im asking due to the fact i live out in geelong way and theres nothing out here :action-smiley-069:

Cheers Nick ;)

Also anything to keep my eye out for? i know like how to check for signs of them sitting in import yards and stuff... :D

Hey mate,

a friend of mine is thinking about parting with his r33, its white and clean and its auto.

If your interested pm me and I will send you his contact details...

Hey, sorry wouldn't wanna waste their time as i said before i have my heart set on one (by looks) and yah just wanna go to a place where theres a few and see how they run so we can compare to the private seller, wouldn't wanna waste ur mates time pluss im looking for manual. sorry

Thanks for the offer any way, Nick

Speak to David from Carizma International.

He is also a memeber on here.

He tell you what you need to know and can help you sourcing the R33's.

Thanks, Kinda weird as im looking to drive not buy :( , but so we know what they feel like so when i go to see the one i like the looks of we know whether it handles like crap or its a gem... all dads idea but i guess it prevents us from buying a lemon.

Anyway thanks again :)

Go to Power Rd car sales in Dandenong. Really good cars there and a few N/A's.

Thanks mate might head up there this weekend and have a look/drive, then checkout the private sellers and see what feels good.

Nick

From experience power road sells good cars. Never heard of anything wrong with them so worth the drive to check them out. My friend bought 2 R34's from them, My R33 gts-t S2 came from them and so did my brothers R34 4 door GT-V. All cars working well (exept for 1 of the r34's which was written off hence he bought a second one haha) ;)

Okay, well today, i went and looked at a few private sellers and looked at my favorite. My fav one was immaculate condition i loved it! but my dad hated the usual things, rims too big (19s), car too low. and exhaust to loud.... now the exhaust did supprise me for only a cannon it was givving my ear like vibrations kind of things.... is that common, or could somthing be not quite right, its a 2.5 muffler

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
