Goldcoast Ex Sau Member White '95 Gts-t @ Preferred Autos


Recommended Posts

Hi.

Just wondering who use to own this car .....

You may know just by looking at the picture, located here.

It is at preferred autos (www.preferredautos.com.au) On Brisbane Rd, just off the Gold coast hwy.

I am looking at buying a skyline, noticed this car in the dealership today as I drove past and went in and had a look. I noticed it has a SAU sticker on the car.

Has anyone bought from these guys? If i was to purchase it I would take out the extra warranty cover although I want to get my hands on the warranty terms and conditions first and read through them, anyone had any experiences regarding this? The guy i talked to seemed genuine though, so he is either really good at his job or really is, there are some nice cars in there.

Anybodies input would be appreciated.

Would you really buy a R33? its a boat though.. only respect is for R33 GTR.

best off getting a R32 or R34.. but up too you..

I'm not looking at buying one for speed. R32 is too old, and I only like 2dr R34s and there doesn't seem to be too many of them within my area in my price range.

I have an R33 GTST and love it. I love the wifes stocko as well.....If you have the money I would get an R34 GTT. Go for unmodded or basic exhaust and filter.... as it reduces the chance of getting one thats been flogged off its T!ts(doesnt really but gotta have a better chance).

Shop around and get them checked right out......

BUT I WANT AN R34 GTR :) BUT WIFE SAYS NO(Divorce coming I think lol)

Thanks mate. ha, yeh a GTT is a little out of my price range. So GTST looks more appealing. I am from NSW, so that is why I was looking at them in dealerships in QLD as I would ask for rego to be transferred or the blue slip or whatever I will need to be done before I even consider buying one from QLD.

That particular dealership the GTS-T is at above, offers extended warranty also - although I would want to thoroughly read the terms and conditions (the guy mentioned it would cover the turbo, aircon compressor etc to what extent though? if the part is found faulty? would it cover wear/age?). It looked nice with minor mods i.e. exhaust, bov and a cannon (the cannon would be getting thrown in the bin, dont like them), it had the original filterbox (whether or not it had just been put back on?) I don't want anything with a pod or any defectable crap.

I would love to get a NSW mechanic in there and fully go over it.

yeah his a member on here just cant remember his username :) , as i remember he posted in the spotted thread when i seen him.

haha. thanks mate.

Did it happen to be related to this post .....

"spotted some dickhead in a white r33 last night, trying to race a blue wrx in the rain just after airport drive in brissy. Of course this dumb f*kker lost and stalls. Then decides to try and catch him while reving the shit out of every gear because he dosnt have traction.

Then the idiot decides to clutch kick in the middle of the road with cars behind him, and nearly lose's it into the ditch. You my friend are a absolute f**khead, you put my girls life at risk. Your lucky you turned off, after nearly losing it because at the next set of lights i was going to give you a hiding."

Just did a bit of stalking through your posts .... :P doesn't appear that was the car, thankgod. It sounds like a car you said you spotted near pac fair username is NismoKnight

Going to send him a message/email about the car, he doesn't seem like someone who would thrash the car judging by his posts. Thanks for everyones help.

More input would be great.

That white R33 in the first post looks a lot like Konrad's old car. He bought a Mazda 6 MPS IIRC, and I'm not sure he browses here any more, but you could try sending him a PM and it should send him an email notification.

Oh and just for the hell of it...

Thanks. Yeh i sent him a PM. I was under the impression insurance may be $2k~2.5K I was prepared to pay but NRMA just quoted me on the phone $3,500 and they wouldn't insure it for any more than $10K I would never own a car without comprehensive insurance so I will shop round but if ~$3K is the norm then I think I may just buy a ba xr6 or xr6 turbo. Got quoted $1,200 to insure a 2003 xr6 turbo.

oh an btw, mad blings on your R32 mate. love it. You would have great air conditioning on that.

haha, i just ignored the above boat post. The guy is obviously still a teenager or not far from it, Paul Walker is probably still his hero.

yep thats the one. That other 33 was some wanker in brissy.

I'm also in the market for a 33 and have looked at this one a few times. I'm thinking it may have some front end repairs as well cause the grill is body coloured. Aren't they supposed to be black ?

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
