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

    • To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...
    • Good old Orange Park hey... 😛   f**k I miss that race track
    • lo, it was a death trap. Good times. Got any Fatz Drift Day DVDs still available?
    • Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.
    • Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
