Hey all,

Been wondering how much the R33 GTR's were when they were released (amounts in Yen would also be handy - just to feed my curiosity)!

prices for -

a) non vspec

b) vspec

i've heard that they were around the AU$150k mark after yen translation, but if anyone knows the actual accurate figures?

cheers!

chris.

Introduced: January 1995

Price: 4,805,000 Yen

Exchange rate back then: Dunno

Production Figures (including N1 & LM Limited Versions)

Standard = 9871

V-Spec = 6551

Total BCNR33 production = 16,422 but I can't tell you if the price above is for V-Spec or Standard.

$150,000 sounds about right...

R32 GTR, when first arrived to AUS were around the $110,000 mark.

hang on

something doesnt sound right....

it states on the exhange rate website that in January 1995 is $1 AUD = 74.75 Yen

well thats around say......$64,000???

True hehe...

What Japan paid as a basic price for their R32 let alone their R33 & R34 isn't anywhere near what we would have paid here in Oz

I don't even know what tax is put onto that basic price either.

There was an estimate back in '96 that the R33 GT-R V-Spec would have costed about $160K if it were released here by Nissan Motor Co.

yeah maybe

i think iron chef has a better idea of these things

would certainly be interested to hear from Kristian on this one, yes.

I'd imagine itd be a fair bit given the Series 3 is now 12 years old...and i just shelled out 25k for the privelege of owning one =b

25k! damn thats cheap!?

vspec?

Yeah i know right? I was really happy with it. Place i got it from regularly has em, sells between 25-30k depending. if there are any mods the price tends to be cheaper cuz more people are after stock. Mine was 25 cuz it has fully adjustable suspension =o

Not sure if its a Vspec. I dont think it is...but it has the same fromt as a vspec...the diffuser bar etc... and it has ABS but other than that no idea =b

So im probably just gonna say nup.

*edit*

As seen in the fasted thread...you heard it here. Non-Vspec.

i'd say its not. in the attached screen shot you can see the 6th letter along in the model code (with the small red line i drew under it) is a Q. in the model code breakdown window the the Q with the red line i drew before it means just a normal GTR. further down you will see the blue line i drew with the letter W next to it that means V-Spec.

25k for a series 3 is a realy good price !

my brother inlaw is selling his for 34k (1998 model)

well 25,000$ is definately a decent price

but as for the 34,000$... the problem with private sellers as well... is they sometimes tend to just open thier mouths for any price regardless....

There are non V-spec standard R34 GT-R for around $45,000

a standard roupgh price guide for on Redbook for 1998 R33 GT-R V-spec on PRIVATE sale is $23,800 - $27,400.

so i personally would not even bother to nogotiate with someone like that if i were to buy one.......

people can boast about what they've spent on thier cars but as far as modifications, some can actually save you a little bit of cash.. but alot of the modifications are an unwelcome sign.

That depends entirely on what you want the car for.

Before buying my white GTR i was intending to look at a black one the dealer had had...Blitz Nur Spec R catback, FMIC, aftermarket rims all already included. With a GT-R...youre not gonna get your average buyer looking at buying one. Its not a case of...oh that new Hyundai i30 looks good...but theres also this GT-R too...

Its not like that.

The majority of buyers interested in a GT-R, while stock is preferable for some because then they can do their OWN modifications, Pre-modified GTRs have their calling in saving dollars in parts and labour for the new owner - because its already been done.

hang on

Good to see you done the maths... I couldn't be bothered with doing the conversion rates...

I just went by what the R32 GTR was and assume the R33 GTR would be more.

Cool, thanks.

25k is what i would pay for a stock s3 r33. considering i have just bought 2 s3 gtrs (one for me and one for my bro). We paid a little extra (only 2k) and got a shit load of extras, around 20k worth. We plan on getting to the track more often and we were planning on moding them aswell. But now all we have to do is save for when things go bang. Having owning it now for 6 months, ive already spent around 5k mostly for additional mods (oil cooler, coilovers, tyres). I dont think i could justify starting from scratch. it would cost both arms and legs to get it to any decent lvl.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
