Hi guys,

I'm a Newbie to Skylines and cars in general. I'm looking at an R33 (not sure what series) tomorrow.

It's white, manual, turbo, no mods except GTR bodykit and exhaust.

Apparently the interior is a pig of a car but the engine has been rebuilt recently due to a friend blowing up their engine.

Price is $7k cash. (I only have $8k).

What should I look out for when I inspect the car?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers guys,

Sanjay

Does everyone think that Series 2 are much better than series 1 R33's because of the ABS and Airbags?

I'll be honest, I need to get my post count up to 10 before I can reply to PM's.

So rather than write shit on someone else's topic, I thought I might ask a relevant question here.

Sorry to offend!

Up to you if you think the ABS & airbags are worth it... I didn't care that mine didn't have neither, since the car I drove before (VN commodore) had none, its good old seat belts is all I need.

Theres not much difference from the performance side from S1 or S2...

The main difference with the series II is the different stlying. Have a look at a series II and a series I, pick which one you like the look of better (because if you decide to change at a later date it costs a shit load).

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
