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

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
