Well a change of circumstances calls for a change of vehicle so the Skyline is up for sale/swaps.

I was involved in a very, very light touch late last year and the car copped the lightest damage to the front right. The day after I had parked the car at the Hurstbridge train station (about 1100m from my house) and at 8:18 that night a copper drove through, saw the damage and left me a defect notice. It took an eternity to get the insurance sorted (through the guy who hit me) and in that time the rego was suspended (I wasn't going to fix it until I new it wasn't going to be taken by the insurance). So there we are.

1994 R33 GTS-T Coupe

Manual

~170k ks

$5500 ono or swaps for a 4 door r32/r33 GTS-T manual with cash your way if necessay.

Also interested in any other four doors or station wagons. Mush be interesting/turbo and manual.

Needed for roady -

  • Probably a front bar cover
  • Small amount of panel bashing the front right, or a new guard
  • Probably a windscreen (RWC mechanics tend to be a stickler for windscreens)
  • Front tyres replaced but only because they rub lightly on the inner guards (currently fitted are 235/45/17 - fine tread wise)
  • Grille - the damaged one could very easily be fixed though, like very easily.
  • Remove boost tee
  • It'll then need a bit of a general tidy up/panel beating to get everything to fit properly, but really not much.
  • I have 2 headlights to go with it. They are in excellent condition.
  • A couple of very small holes in the rear muffler patched
  • Will need a new battery.

If I think of anything else which needs mentioning, I'll put it up.

The good points!

The car is/was in excellent condition. It's been resprayed at some stage a very dark, metallic purple. Looks great although it's got a few typical scratches/chips on it.

Engine is perfect

Gear box is good, though syncros on 4th are shot. Apart from that it's very tight.

No creaks, rattles, squeeks from diff/suspension.

New Clutch

New rear tyres (chongshen specials)

Big FMIC behind the bar (stealth). Comes with pod filter AND stock airbox (currently fitted)

Comes with two excellent headlights and one good left

Good JVC headunit/speakers altho sub will be comming out :)

Interior very clean, straight and complete (apart from boot - a bitsa back there).

Been boosted to ~9PSI for about the last 2-3000ks of it's life. Stock boost always prior to that.

Starts first click, revs perfect, no smoke.

New radiator.

I love this car and will be sad to see it go, but I need a four door.

PICS TO COME

Righto, so crappy pictures as promised. I'll take some more at some stage when I have better light, and I'll give it a wash!

No one has anything swapworthy?

I'll take $5k for it, but you'll struggle to get me to go any lower than that.

I'll include a Greddy Emanage Ultimate with harness as part of the deal. Not yet installed.

So $5k with the EMU + harness for a very good nick 33 which needs a tiny amount of work for roadworthy.

No one looking for a cheap, good nick 33 which needs a tiny bit of work to get roadworthy?

Going up on Fleabay tomorrow.

Will kick off at $3,500 with a $4,500 reserve.

If someone buys it here before I put it up I'll throw in the EMU and all and any spare I have here such as a full set of braided brake lines and whatever else I can find.

hi bro do u know what is exactly broken in the car?

There's a light bit of damage to the front right. It's cosmetic only, ie. the rad support and reo bar are untouched. You could either flatten out to guard on it now or pick up a astraight second hand one. Either job wouldn't be hard.

For roadworthy I predict it will need the following:

Battery

4 small holes in the exhaust filled, or a new rear section

possibly a new windscreen

probably front tyres as they rub on the plastic inner guards at full lock

horn reconnected

boost tee removed

an air filter for the stock air box

That should be it.

the car is straight, it's quiet, it starts perfect, first time, blows no smoke, revs perfect, pulls hard, brakes perfect and so on.

The only reason I'm not goign to fix it is because I need a 4 door for a potentially growing family in the not too distant future. And I also simply do not have the room to fix it. I live on the side of a mountain and don't have a garage.

Would u sell me just the emu

I will, if I sell the car. But for now I'll hang onto it in case I decide to hang on to the 33.

No one looking for a cheap slider/track base or a cheapo GTST car requiring little work to get on the road?

Check the gnew price.

$4,000 for a car requiring very little work for roadworthy.

Happy for people to come and inspect after ~6pm weekdays or on the weekend.

Gizza call on 0418 994 629 if keen.

$4,000 with the EMU.

Anyone?

I need a sedan! Interested in swapsies with cash your way. Keen on an R33/R34 4 door, XR6 turbo, XR8, must be manual.

Will go up to ~$12k your way depending on car.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
