Information Needed About R33 Gtr

[LatinR33]

Hey Guys,

Miss owning a Skyline and thinking of getting back into one. I'm thinking about getting a 1998 R33 GTR and would like to know what to look out for during the search process. I want one in great condition.

What the common faults are and what kind of tests you would recommend done. I know of the compression test is one of the must do test besides the usual.

Anyways if you have a moment to reply any insight would be great.

Cheers

I was thinking of a vehicle inspection company, but been advised many are not experienced in inspecting used imported forced induction vehicles. Not to sure how much truth there is in this.

Once you've decided on one you want. Get it checked out by a reputable workshop (check your State's reputable workshop sticky, each state has one on here) that has experience with Skylines, as you don't want to buy a GTR only to find the 4WD system is rooted, or the engine is in dire need of a rebuild, or one of the stock turbos are missing their ceramic exhaust wheel, or HICAS is screwed etc.

there is nothing wrong with racv, theyre quite good, why would you pick a company your not sure of over racv? they give you a full report, just like every other company, sept racv has alot more experience, and if they screw it up, your insured because they have a guarentee or something on the report

In in NSW, there is no RACV here. Will take the advise of looking at the reputable workshops.
