New R33 Melbourne

[adzr33]

Hi all,

I just Purchased a R33 1995 Series 1.5 (I think lol) last week. I am having a ball in this thing especially since my last car (Pulsar)

and the work bus (Falcon wagon). Now in Tasmania for work and missing it.

I picked it up for $8000 which I think is a absolute bargain and I'm hoping to learn a lot from here about them as it's my first turbo car and I'm wanting to get into it and do some work to it.

Heres my new baby.

Welcome mate, $8000 does sound like a bargain. How many km on it? 1995 are typically series 1.5 although it looks like the previous owner has removed the front grill on it to make it look like a series 2. He's also painted the bumper and side panels black. I see a different spoiler too. May I recommend getting hold of a Glassylite kit (can purchase on eBay) and giving your headlight glass a polish as they look a bit dull / oxidised and this will bring them up an absolute treat.

Enjoy her

Cool thanks mate. It's got 165xxx on it. Couple of small things. paint marks ect but to be expected for the $$ and age of car.

Although I bought the car with a roady and reg and yesterday I got pulled over and fine for driving an unroadworthy vehicle $300. (Steering wheel, Two intake mods, and apparently the exhaust is too low but the car is standard height) I'm in the process of contacting the mechanic who issued the roadworthy as I now have quite an expense infront of me due to him not doing his job properly.

Any tips on how I should go about this??

Thanks

birds the car has a gtr spoiler and im pretty sure that colour was a factory option not suprisingly not many ppl chose it.

as for ya defect problem refer to the epa thread.

Yeah I've two tones before but didn't know this was factory or just a cult following sort of mod.

[adzr33]

No worries on th EPA thread now.

Yeah apparently from what I can gather the two tone is a option in this colour but most of the ones that were this colour came out auto.

I dont mind it. Makes it a little different than most
