Hey guys so I have been doing some hunting on carsales for a skyline to buy and this R33 GTS has popped up which im very interested in.

does it belong to anybody on the forum or does anybody know of it?

It seems to be perfect for me - basically no mods except for sound, tint and body kit. she is selling it with an exhaust but also including the stock which I will install. Its also at a great price.

heres the link

if anybody else knows of a similar car at a good price I would be interested in that too.

why dont u save up a little more for 10g and buy yourself a decent car that will last you mate.. and buy n auto turbo not a non turbo/auto .. that waiting that little extra bit always pays off in the end i know it did for me

lol :)

btw, resale value on an auto is craptacular. Very few people seem to want them... Can't imagine why... :thumbsup:

I dunno about the R33 but the R34's are tip...so they're not really an auto. If the R33's are tip as well I couldn't see how the resale would be effected much because it can be driven as a manual...it's just not a manual in the true sense...

r33s...especially 95s... Are pre tiptronic. The are as auto as it is possible to be :thumbsup:

ohhh...I didn't know that, I figured there was a chance cos a lot of other Jap cars were just starting to go tip in '95

then in that case I would looking for an R34 if I was him

hey mate....think i saw you in the show n shine...rit?..i would also recomend save a bit more and buy a decent turbo skyline...trust me you will want one once you hang around us... :P

unless you on your ps...and cant drive manual...check the jpcr33 like alex mentioned...his car is clean and a good example... :blush:

The price is ok, could probably get it for a bit less. (Provided you convince them to supply a RWC).

Don't worry about the kms, as the majority of jap imports have been tampered with.

Assess the condition of the car and make your decision based on that.

Ahhh...in the real world, we still call that an auto. Note the presence of a torque convertor.......

yeah I was at the show n shine today. I may go and have a look at this car but after talking to people today it does look like my best option will be to save up and either get a 34 trip or anothercar more known for their reliability.

to answer the questions I do only have an auto license and am yet to drive a manual so i do need the auto or tip.

semi auto's are the only transmission id use now its got the best of both worlds; even if it was was about power automatics actually can have better take off(fastest drag cars use automatics and i think their sequential) with an automatic u can preload the transmission instead of with a manual jerking the gears into place and getting wheelspin unless you drop the clutch at a lower rpm then you could in the auto.

Just about all the supercars have them now and theres a reason. its good to be able to eat, drink, do other stuff and not have to worry about changing gears sometimes. obviously i know u will lose about 5% power over all and add 10kgs+ to the car weight but if it came to it id rather the auto instead of the climate control

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
