lol cheers for the plugs you guys, I'm embarrassed!

Tell your mate to give me a buzz and I'll ask around and see what's available locally for him. I don't carry my stock but I still have the mad hook-upzzz with dealers.

He decided to settle on private interstate buys lol friggin knuckle head!

I told him to get the full stateroads inspection also, that saved my life on my last car as i scored a real beauty in NSW.

I was in a similar situation before, was looking at private vs importing.

Ended up importing through Iron Chef. Everything was smooth and he is awesome to deal with.

Few little quirks but that was not his fault at all, everything was back on track quickly!

Glad I imported through him, car has been checked out by a local Evo specialist shop and they reckon its one of the better 7's they've seen.

I'm now in love with it :blush:

Only thing that turned me off purchasing interstate was that the money needs to be paid up front and its virtually the same as importing besides being a lot quicker.

You also have to budget in stock parts for the car as most are modified in one way or another. Also probably costs more purchasing a car compared to importing.

Importing allowed me to save money while the car was coming over to pay for insurance, rego, stamp duty, insurance etc..

Also person I know bought a 33 GTR interstate, saw it in the flesh. Purchased it, dropped it off at the depot. Picked it up at the Perth Depot. Drove it around for about 30 mins. Gearbox went clunk, opened the gearbox and 3rd gear was smashed. Was fine before it left and had only 2km difference in odometer readings before and after picking it up.

Omport a car. At least you can trust the tight rules in Japan as to the history of the car.

Here most cars get their clocks wound back. And have no history that can be trusted.

The super high k cars at auction that are immaculate sell for almost as much as legit low k car's as clocking them is so easy.

Go to Sydney or Melbourne like I did, much cheaper and you can get them mostly stock as well.

LOL.....Sydney is the best are getting 150,000km cars in Japan, and them coming in with 55,000km haha.

If he does go interstate, be REALLY anal about checking the car. If it reflects the k's than go for it, but there are plenty of tell tale signs of the cars being wound back.

you should look locally as there are some nice R33 coupes going for around about that price mate.....this is what a quick search on car sales brings up :)

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
