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.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
