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.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
