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.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
