I'm missing my Skyline like crazy and so have decided to bite the bullet and get me another one. Does anyone know of any R33's for sale at a good price? How much do you think I can pick one up for these days? I don't want too many mods, just something neat and in good condition. I have just bought Tein fully adjustable coilovers for it so suspension is no problem. If anyone has any ideas or knows of anything thats out there at the moment please help me out!! Thanks.

I may as well jump on the band wagon here... I am also considering selling mine, as much as I love it I would like a R34... mine is in really good condition, has a few mods putting out a good power figure and the price is negotiable :D

22500 , 25000 ? asking a bit much arent you for series 1 , good luck with it though im sure youll need it

my suggestion rebecca if your going to pay that sort of money for a skyline then save for an r34 , almost as much as half the guys are asking on here for theirs , give it a few months

I for one have sold my r33 and am looking to get into a nother one , have you considered a cheapy? i have seen a few 33's n/a's in these forums and in the paper for 13-14 some with mods

few nice gtst's hanging around for 16K with a few mods , or cruise perthcars.com dont rush into one im not , save as much as you can before you buy it , no rush youll get into 1 eventually just remember they depreciate in value very quickly and the price of r33's are going down alot more importers coming on board etc..

yeah a lot of the cars are pulling high horsepower and are highly modded which Rebecca said she didnt want. Cam's is so high because of his deafening stereo system. The fact of the matter is if you spend a whole heap on mods you aint going to get the money back .... you would recoup the money better if you returned car to stock and sold mods seperately .... which is what i plan to do if i ever sell my car.

tt , basic stuff, i originally had it in the paper for 22 but realised after 3 weeks of only 1 call that i dropped the price to 17 and sold it a week later, it is an import afterall, those 2 cars are pretty modded up , i got **** all for my mods

Hmm - I'm not trying to make a heap of money back - but mine isn't a stocker and nor does it look, drive or sound like one.. :looks over at mark's avitar:

I think you'll be waiting quite a while for those $20k R34's seeing as they are $35k to $45k at the moment..

Each to their own opinion. I feel you get what you pay for...

All that said - mine is still for sale at @ $22,500...

ps - Al, give me something to chuckle at... :rofl:

As I stated I put that price in as a ballpark starting figure... If you notice I have stated clearly its very negotiable, I dont expect to get that price but you need a starting figure... If I dont sell it, it wont bother me as I am very happy with it. I just thought it would be nice to buy a R34. Either way at the end of the day I am going to be happy... Might even buy the R34 regardles as I think you can get a nice one for around $35,000.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
