Hey guys,

After a couple of years of playing with bikes I'm finally chasing a car again. I use to have a Black S1 R33 GTS-T and would like something similar.

Budget is $10,000 max for purchase, obviously the price will be in accordance with condition and mods.

I'm after ones within 500km of Brisbane, I'm not transporting or traveling further than that.

Also, no hurry here, took me 4 months to find the right one last time for the right price, so I'm willing to wait.

Good stuff:

Good condition Paint (no paint pealing/off, only minor scratches, I understand small stone chips etc..)

Colours - Black > White == Silver (would consider others, except for red/maroon)

RWC (that includes, all the requirements of such; good tread, brakes etc..)

Light Weight Rims (prefer 17s personally)

Suspension upgrades (doesn't have to be adjustable, just well thought out and GC)

FMIC (no illegal cutting of front bar, even upgraded sidemount would be good)

Quality POD filter with bracket

Turbo back exhaust (cat-back would be fine)

Turbo rebuilt/hi-flow/upgrade

ECU (power-fc mega plus, would even consider breaking budget a little for it)

Has had regular services (if you do it, you should be able to tell me what oil type and grade you use and how often)

Rebuilt engine (don't care if it's stock or crazy)

If no rebuild under 160,000km on engine

Dark Tint

Bad stuff:

Maroon paint (I hates it)

3 spoke rims (if must, can replace)

Missing engine cover (but I can get another, I know)

Over 200,000km

Overly stiff suspension

Dodgy paint work

Poorly repaired accident damage

HICAS issues (that light should not be on)

Heating issues

Electrical issues

DE to DET conversions

Auto to Manual conversions

Peeling Tint

Cheap crappy aftermarket parts (aftermarket is fine, but no ebay special turbos)

So show me what you have, read above first and you'll have an idea to my reaction.

I don't need rego on it, only the RWC. I can deal with the rego.

It's not all set in stone, if you have god awful paint, but are willing to adjust (2k for a new paint job or whatever) I can accommodate.

I'd just prefer what I want without the effort, as do we all.

I've owned a 33 before, so I know what to look for, and I don't mind cleaning up some issues (last car got major service, new wheel bearings, did new suspension myself etc...).

Let me know what you have, post links here, or send me a PM.

Let your baby come to a loving home to a devoted owner =) It would be a smooth sale, my mechanic would check the car, report to me and the sale would go through as fast as I could hand you the money.

Also, I may consider a 94+ black top 180sx or Black S14a.

Cheers,

Ben

    • The boot notch on the GK Tech rods is different to OEM yes. You'll find a solution. They are a good rod, I have used many of them for various setups, and no they are not ' just for drift cars', they are fine as an OEM replacement. Same goes for the tie rod ends although I found they transmitted a huge amount of NVH a normal balljoint masks, making it feel like there was something loose or knocking, even though there wasn't. If you used the same pieces on each side, no reason one angle should be different to the other side. Have you checked ride heights/measured the angles? Or just visual? Your alignment will be massively out of whack yes. Up to you; it is worth taking the time to learn wheel alignments and do it yourself. I have never had better wheel alignments and I haven't taken my car to a shop for, dunno...many many years. Spend a few hundred on equipment, do alot of research via online articles, youtube vids, and "trial and error" on setups. Eg, set it with too much toe-out, toe-in, too much or little caster, drive the same stretch of awesome twisty mountain road each time, learn how they feel and how the car's handling has reacted to your changes.
    • Won’t be hard to beat them. 🤣 Farken sponge cakes!
    • Nah I did not will have to another time. I only installed a blitz return flow FMIC probably 1000kms ago. When I took the old piping off there was basically no oil in piping. At this stage it has to be valve stem seals. When I roll down a big hill in gear and then throttle down the bottom, I get the same puff of smoke.
    • I believe when they added coolant to cool the turbo it negated the need for turbo timers as water continues to flow even when the engine is shut off I forget the actual terminology, I'll just say the coolant "percolates" through the turbo which stops the oil cooking itself to death  Well....that's how I see it, as all the plant at work that has coolant lines to the turbo can be shut down straight away, whereas the older plant with only oil feed to the turbo you need to idle it for a few minutes
