Heya all,

went down and physically inspected this R33 GTR beastie:

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/dealer...id=12544F7AB6BF

looked very clean and original and less than 55K.Kms!

Zero mods that I could tell from a looksee.

Straight body and no rust that I could tell other than from getting it up on a hoist.

Interior was "likebrandnew".

Unfortunately Jap Cars wouldn't let me drive it unless I put down a deposit to buy it (bit sad because if I liked it I would have bought it on the spot)

What do you guys think?

Worth the 25K pricetag?

I looks nice from the photos, but you best go see it in person and bring your mechanic along with you if you don't know what your looking for.

KamikazeNinja34 (Cass) bought her R33 GTR from them and it was in a good condition.

Looks nice in the photos. I don't understand why people don't let you test drive cars unless you put down a deposit. It will definitely put me off from buying the car. It's such a important part of the inspection.

its cause u get time wasters and day dreamers that just want to take ur car for a thrashing 2 tell their mates they drove a skyline.

show some cash like ur genuine and im sure the seller wont deny it

^^ Exactly!

Fcuk the time wasters off!

Or if you don't want to put down a deposit, atleast the best the car dealer can do for you is take you out for a drive but you cannot drive it.

I know it's hard to make a dicision without driving the car, as said above. There are way too many

punks out there who just want to go for a drive. I bought my R32 GTR from Japcar last year and

I gave him $500 deposit and then the car did all the talking.

Clean car there if you like it, give him deposit after test drive if you are not impress then I'm sure that

Dennis will refund you your money back.

By the way when you buy a car from him he will look after you even after the sale unlike others.

Well, because I'm bored..............

Its had the front lip painted white to match the body.

Has aftermarket gearknob.

Is MISSING front GTR strut brace.

And its white :P

Looks the goods other than the missing front gtr strut brace....

It also looks like the rear muffler has been replaced at some point which shouldnt be the case for a standard gtr with 55Klm's on the clock.

Definately drive it before making a decision and dont hand over any money.

jap cars are great to deal with.

dennis (the owner) is a top bloke i bought my 34 from him i didnt have a licence at the time so he took me for a drive in the car and i bought it that day.

That muffler is the original. Had same one on my GTR.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
