Heya everyone

It's come time for my R33 series 1 to go as I'm in desperate need of boot space and a 4 door.

1993 with 106,662k on the clock. Gun metal grey with a GTR spoiler (also have GTR rear pods

not painted or fitted)

2,000k's ago engine had major service and also new rear brake pads. Just replaced o2 sensor.

Mechanically stock as a rock and runs beautifully, never ever skips a beat after all the work biggrin.gif

Has a 3" exhaust, haven't been underneath to see what kind. Sounds real deep and growly but

no where near over the top <3

Has 17" R34 GT rims with 80-90% tread. One rim has a 1 cm scratch at the very rim of the.. rim.

Cusco front strut brace.

Kenwood head unit (KDC-MP333)

Fusion 6.5's in the front, Fusion 6x9's in the back. Real kick (Plastic grill on one has warped from sun slightly)

I'm the second Australian owner, have import & regencey papers. Was imported and stored for a while, then

taken by friends Mrs and used as her daily for driving the little one around.

Since I've had it, it does 400k's a fortnight. Paintwork has some small chips along the door lines from inconsiderate

drunks opening their doors on my car. There is a dent in the drivers side door next to the handle and 3 verticle

scratches next to it. Rear bumper has a smudge on the left side from a car only just hitting it in a carpark.

Interior has 3-4 minor scratches in that rubber coating around the gear stick from me trying to fit a LCD tv in the passenger seat tongue.gif

Apart from that paint, body, interior is beautiful

Only problem I have with the car is a HICAS issue where turning ignition off then on again quikly after a lengthy drive

results in heavy steering. The most reliable option is to install a lock bar which I'll be doing, or i'll knock the cost off

the sale price.

I'm sure I've forgotten something lol

Any questions/queries pm or email me [email protected]

$10,990 o.n.o

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
