Hey guys,

Just wondering what my friends R33 is worth as she is thinking about getting rid of it. .

Its a 93 N/A coupe, 5 speed manual and has a few problems. .

Ok . . it needs,

New tyres

New windscreen

the heated box to be fixed/replaced

Water pump to be fitted (already have a new one in a box)

The side skirts and rear bar are badly cracked and need to be fixed and painted

A R/H front quarter guard (had fiberglass ones but took them off)

Both electric window motors

The radiator needs a flush and so does the motor. . The intake runners where the radiator hose joins to was rotted out so dont know how bad the motor is . .

Radiator/heater hoses

the roof and boot have faded, so would need a respray

and the C/F bonnet is in bad condition. . very faded and yellow . . Needs a cut/polish and to be sealed

Also, some of the motor has been pulled appart to replace the water pump and the dash is out as we were going to take out the heater box. .

Just wondering what it would be worth in this condition?

Thanks for any help

Daniel

It used to be a really nice car. . the interior is perfect, but once the roof/boot started to fade and the bonnet went crappy and yellow (no uv protectant) it started to go downhill. . When the heater started leaking, it drained all the water from the motor so she parked it up and hasnt moved for a long time. .

Also the body is in good nic. . its just faded and there isnt any damage to the metal. . .

I am thinking bout buying it for a track/street car, so the motor, heaterbox and some of the other problems wouldnt matter. .

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
