thinking of buying a 33 gtr ....at the moment im seing alot of modded gtr's are they worth it or are they just a hassel with rebuilds and such. alot of them have stated rebuilt or only run in 10k kilometers ago.. my question is are they worth buying OR should i just buy a standard one.

thanks

What a magnificent machine!

Now down to business...

Some people prefer to buy one modded and they'll take extra precautions during their preliminary inspections > on a hoist > compression tests > cracked rotors with heat spots > seepage yaddayadda

Some people will prefer to buy unmodded. I bought my R33 GT-R that way and added some bolt-ons as I went. And then I thought.. this is costing me a lot of moolah

With no regrets, I sold a perfectly good R33 GT-R to a guy who wanted it with not too many mods.

Then I was ready to buy an R34 GT-R with mods. I've had it for 3 years now and only had to replace an oil pump. Yeh I'm happy.

well the thing is....its a second hand car

theres always going to be maintanence issues...especially for an old car like an R33 ... especially R32s.....

even R34s are dated if you realling think about it.... 2000' is nearly a 10 year old car.

anyhow... most buyers guides for imports actually tell you to be wary and steer clear of modded cars.

boost controllers are an unwelcom sign.....

but some mods can be a bargain..like Twin plate clutches, decent branded exhaust etc...

those are very hefty with pricing.

buy mine, car has done all of 2,000 kms since XSpeed built and tuned it, owes me a shitload that I will never get back, but priorities change pretty much overnight (well in my case in about 2 mins - I am sure you get my drift :/ )

whats the reason for sale if you dont mind me asking?

since the fact you are going to lose out alot

its probably more worthwile to keep it rather than selling it

      Prop Shaft rebuilding Melbourne.

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.

      We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.

      Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)

      New Skyline will be RWD and manual

      Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
