After a few mths of deciding, i have opted to sell my r33 gtst. What i am looking for now is a STOCK R33 GTR around the 1996+ yr. Reason being i want to start from the ground up like whant i did with my current R33.

In the past i have seen a few private sale selling them for around $32-35k. Just wondering if any of you guys have seem them around that price sold privatly? Or know of any dealers who have them (willing to spend a little more). In the past i have noticed that Advance Auto Imports havehad soem quality cars sold. I wouldnt even bother with Auto JMart just totally dodge!

Im really looking for an immaculate GTR as my current gtst is very emaculate. I have seen some around for $37-40k but then come with ECU, hks cooler, 3.5inch zaust..

Thanks.

:)

I had a good look around Brisbane and there really wasn't much to look at. Well during the 6 months that I was looking around, especially in that price bracket. You definately will not find any in yards for that price they are all $40+K. In that price range make sure you really look the car over, as you are in accident repair area, unless you are lucky enough to find a good cheapie. This one is worth a look if you can get to it before he trades it in definately no accident damage here. It pretty much fits your criteria and I have driven this one myself, very nice.

Might be worth sending supahiro27 a PM I think he has one (or two) for sale at the moment.

This one may also be worth a look although it doesn't really fit your requirements.

thanks for the info jlnewton, sent the first guy a PM and email, hopefully he hasnt sold it yet.

I went to look at a 95 model lastnite (took along mu mecanic friend). The guy had it on the add for $37k and 96 model. When i got there noticed it was a 95 model. my mate then checked it all over, noticed that the front bumper had a crack, stock mags had gutter damage, head casket had a oil leak on the back of the engine ($150 to replace without labour), seats were not in good condition (very warn), and there the shaft bearing (i think thats what its called) in the gearbox was noisy. He said normally if the shaft bearing in the gearbox goes, means the gearbox could also go. Like if a throwout bearing in the clutch goes, the whole clutch is about to go also. Gear boxes go for around $3000+, so i offered him $33k for it. He rang back this morning sayin the lowest is $34k... I got a few more to look at, but at the moment that car is last on my list.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
