Hey guys, a mate of mine is looking at buying this car.

Looks like alot of work done for the price he's asking.

Has anyone seen it around or anything?

Thanks

price for 32 4 doors is complete shit though man

i was lucky to get what i got for my car 2 years ago

id say its just a little cheaper than what it should be, but if its been on market for a while and he just wants to get rid of it he dropped the price

must remember a lot more people prefer coupes over 4 doors, so even if it has the 26 the look is what a lot of people go by too, which makes selling hard

Ok sorry I'm sure there are bargains on there

But generally I've your looking for a decent import, the cheap ones willmore than likely have problems,

Why would you list an r33 that could fetch $8000 on carsales when it will only end for $6000 at the moat on ebay

I know the seller, his old man used to import cars (may still)

Good kid and sister is regular on forum who has sold lots of skylines. DNGRUS

He prob offered other guy low price and is out to make quick couple grand. Not giving too much personal stuff away but he has resources that will help him get cars on road cheap and easy. RWC/compliance/engineers certificates

Nothing bad to say about seller at all. Not bias just had good experience dealing with them

Been there 4 times,

S13 lost $1000 in 8 months

R33 lost $4k in 6months on it

R32 lost $1500 in 2 months

R32 broke even. but that's not counting how much money i spent on it

Edited by stig mick

Of course not but you'd expect it to go for around $6000-$7000 if it had an rb20 so with an rb26 done properly i would expect a little over $10k

it doesnt matter what mods youve done to it, if its a 20 yo car, with a new engine, its still a 20 yo car.. its worth as much as any other 4 door gts4.. it comes down to sentimental value, which any buyer couldnt give a fk about

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
