Are u looking to import one ? or buy locally ?

There are always good deals to be had buying privately and u can test drive the car ... or u could import yourself, generally for a bit less $$.

What I really would like is a almost stock standard one. So I can do the moding myself, more fun I say. So I thought if I was to get an import from a dealer they are pretty standard.

I went a dealer today that imports r33's. Some very nice, clean and not many mods done to them with Low KM's aswell. Thats the sort of thing im after, I was just wondering what other places to try.

I don't want to import one myself to much hassel.

Cheers

Autoworx Wangara, they get in lots of mint R33's and are a good bunch of guys, they also do normal mechanic/tuning work, servicing/upgrading/dyno tuning etc.

Funny you say that... Thats the one I went to but he only had 2 left.. He told me he sold 5 last week (one was the one I wanted from looking at his website) ! Another 6 weeks untill his next ones come in.

Might wait and see what he gets in. Id prefer to wait and get a good one then rush into it.

Haha thats exatly what happened to me. Was going to put a deposit one one, only to find out it was sold a couple days earlier. It was all good though, i waited a couple weeks and snatched up an even better deal :D

Yeah Thats what I think im gonna do just hold off and see what he brings in next time. I think patience is key to finding a good car.

Thanks for all your help guys!

Yeah Just wait and get one from AutoWorx Wangara.

I got my Silver Series 2 r33 from them recently and i am in love with it. Feels so good and strong and very clean.

And Alister was very helpful and helped me choose mine.

I am going to wash it soon and stare at it. :D

Good luck Mate.

thanks for the support guys! we are still trying to bring in nice r33s .

we have indeed recently had a big rush on them and we are furiously looking to source some right now for the next shipment

I have 4 left in stock though

on a r33 I would not really recommend importing one . with shipping , taxes and compliance you will not save much more than buying one here . average nice 33 gtst would owe you about 12k landed and complied . you could pay a little more and get a nice one from a dealer , fresh compliance and rego , fully serviced , panel and paint and detailed.

local private sales are an option but just be very careful , we see some awful cars that come into the workshop . some of them really take a hammering once they have been in the country for a while and gone through a couple of not so caring owners. I have one in here now and I don't think the oil has been changed in 18 months +

autoworx - i would hope at this stage of the game.. people looking to import an R33 aren't necessarilly looking to save money, they're more looking for a better car

i am importing a soarer... i could have saved about 5 grand buying one local... but i spent 3 months looking in japan for a "special" one.

and i'd do it all over again if i had the chance...

the importer of an R33 should be looking for - limited editions.. or limited colours... or

...crap i gotta stop typing n get to the gym

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
