Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a r33 soon and I really have my heart set on a midnight purple r33, but they seem really hard to find.

Is that color only on the 40th anniversary editions? I've seen a few midnight purple ones on the net but they didnt have the 40th anniversary badges or anything. How rare is this color? I don't really want to be waiting for ages trying to find a decent one when i could just buy more common color.

Cheers.

Hi,

I reckon there are about 40-50 of these in Australia.

I had one of these til a month ago, really beautiful colour especially when it's parked out in sun.

Yes this colour is only available in 40th Anniversary Edition, some has its badge removed (I don't like the look of the badge personally).

There are 2 of these up for sale in Melbourne at the moment (my previous car and Ross - MP_R33's), unsure about other states though.

If you have the patience, get one in MNP as it'll really stand out compared to all other R33's in white or silver!

Cheers

Between '01 to '03 I had a MNP R33 GT-R.

'Twas the best coloured car I've ever had since owning vehicles from 1970.

It can look black under overcast weather or towards shade > dark/bright purple with pearl/fleck in bright sunlight.

UWISSH at the SnS won an award with his MNP 5 days ago.

If you look up the color codes for the R33 series midnight purple was only available in the GTR. I have seen a few GTS-T's in this color but they have been resprayed. I maybe wrong but. :)

They do come in this colour - only exclusive to 40th Anniversary edition (late '97 to April '98), easiest way to know if it's genuine is look at blue build plate on drivers side firewall next to brake booster and look at colour code and see if it is marked 'LP2' - that is factory Midnight Purple.

I know this cos I had one until a Month ago (gave it away for a song and kinda regretted it), as I've said, it's truly beautiful colour.

Yea i saw that one i think, if only it was in vic. I would buy interstate but i think it would be a bit of a hassle getting the rego tranfered to vic reg as i think the car has to go through the pits. I could be wrong though.

When a paint colour is THAT good, no wonder it creates a FASHION STATEMENT lol

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
