Hi everyone,

Im form Tas looking at going to Melb to buy a skyline. I have only driven an R33 once or twice so was wandering for first time should i buy a R33 GTST or go for a GTR or R34 GT-T. Also Should i go to a dealership or private

They are 3 completely different cars and only you can make up your mind which one suits you the best.

There are also plenty of quality cars in Tassie already so unless your wanting something different or cant find what your looking for (which i would find hard to believe) then why not buy locally???

Either way all the best with the purchase and welcome to SAU

I've noticed due to the smaller market down here, it's harder to find what you want and also they can be a bit more expensive..

Plenty of cars around just harder to find and you will find that money talks 99.99% of the time :P

Thanks for all your imput im heading the way of getting a R33 GTR. Im also going to go to mainland as cars in general seem cheaper. What would be the best way to go a dealer or private?

I have found an 1996 GTR V Spec in Vic for $20,990 private sale. Is that a reasonable price? Has 84,000k's. I have spoke ot his mechanic and he is going to send me the service history

Get it lol

Received a few service invoices from mechanic, also mechanic did an inspection whihc cost the owner $60. Had a list of a few things to get fixed such as LED in spoiler, Handbrake adjustment 2 new rear tyres and rear brakes. Owner is getting those fixed

I went to Melb on sat and brought the 1996 GTR V-Spec. Im very happy with it. The only bad thing is it bottoms out at the bottom of my drive and scrapes on gutter in front of garage. I have already put a crack in front bar. Im to scared to get it back out. Need to figure out a way to cove gutter.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
