yeah the 180 will beat the 33 with the same mods, same as silvia k with same mods, it will beat the 33, but only just, by jack shit margin

forget mods, get a car for 19500 instead, much better quality, for that much should land u a 1994/1995 series 1.5 model instead of a 1993 model for 16500

worry about mods later on

any 1994 or 1995 model will most likely come with some mods, ie zorst, pod filter ,boost controller etc.. very rarely stock

well i dont know which insurance companys ur going through bu i have had my perants ring up and they have said that the premium increases because im on the insurance but it does not put me on first because all of my brothers are on it, the premium will obviously suck but its certainly not $4000 i know that for sure, places like just cars have quoted me $2900 just for my slef, if u dont believe me give them a call ur slef. nram are pretty good so also give them a call. the premium is under $2000 but the excess is like $1000 or somthin.

I got my '95 R33 GTSt 5sp late last year for $17,000 (stock as a rock) off a private importer (avoid dealerships) he was nice enough to throw in 12 months rego and pay all the stamp duty etc. (saved me $1,000–$1,500)

It had 60 000 kms on the clock but I would disregard the K's on imports... just judge by condition of car...

If the car is stock make sure there is no previous signs of modification ie there used to be a FMIC but its not there now. (This usually means the car was boosted...)

It might also be worth paying a little bit extra to get a '95 model as they came with a few extra goodies (Like series 2 rear wing, airbag etc)

My best advice would be look at a lot of cars and don't make your mind up before you go just get the best condition car for the best price... not just visually make sure it still hauls ass...

My mate got a '93 for $14,500 with zorst, two stage boost control, 17" rims, lowered springs/shocks, POD...etc... mainly because he busted the guys balls and he really wanted to sell... so I think $19,500 is plenty...however allow at least $3,000 in on road costs...unless you can get the seller to throw in rego etc.

Oh and 180's kick ass but generally get less respectful treatment by there owners than Skylines...

Hope that is helpful

i Bought my R33 M-spec (1995) for $17 750 with 71 000 km in absolutly immaculate condition and 2 years warrenty! (private seller). Came with a beautiful 3 inch turbo back exaust, K&N pod filter and boost guage. No Massive Mods.

so that would leave u just about enough to put some nice 18's with good tred or a FMIC (rember stock width is usually 205mm, pin dick if your gonna put the boost up). Save up for Eboost and pump that boost up to 12 and wax thoes 180s :D:)

But yeah u get the idea of prices from every 1.

**** the dealers.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Jarsky · Posted

      This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm.

      Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
