There isn't too much too choose from and im not sure which one is worth investigating further.

If you guys can have a,quick look at all the R33 GTR's available for sale in Melbourne on Carsales and link me the one they think is the best looking, cleanest, best deal etc.

I would appreciate it!!! :)

Haha oh snap. Mate I went to every one in my budget range in victoria. So in pretty sure I got the best one out of Melbourne :P.

Don't be lazy. Do it yourself. You won't know how good a car is until you go look at it. Btw avoid a white s2/3 r33 gtr, that thing is idling like a bomb, and the dash is terrible!

Bam get this one. http://carsales.mobi...5&Cr=2&trecs=19

Dunno if link will work

Yeah saw that one....something about the wheels/rims gives me nightmares lol.

Also the ride height seems high does it not?

Im guessing thats stock, but it just looks weird.

Wasn't quite sure, because in the comments he mentioned "new tyres", wasn't sure if that meant new "factory" tyres or not, or if that also included rims as well :whistling: .

I know i am noob with GTR's that is why i am on here......and i didn't make this thread for you to choose me my car. It was made to see what you guys think is the cleanest and best deal for a R33 GTR on sale in Melbourne.

I think you need to do some major, major research. Obviously that one has the stock wheels and for tires. Well sorry to brake it too you, but tires are just tires.

You need to give us a criteria then don't you. Obviously you don't want a stock looking gtr. That's what I got. Might it up costing more money in the lOng run. But I'm anal and don't like not knowing what's in the car.

Also I saw a total of 17 gtr's on the carsales list. That would take you 2 weeks to go look at them all. There's one that's highly done up and the others look ok. What car are you coming from?

Do you know what you want out of a gtr? Do you know how to take care of it? For the love of god please tell that you know what engine it has!

Haha. I love my questioning rants.

My current car (which i am trying to sell) is a 2001 series 2 R34 25GT (got it on my P's, hense NA).

I want a fairly stock standard R33 GTR, that isn't thrashed, has low kms, doesn't need much work done to it. I don't plan on spending heaps of money on it, just want it to be reliable, sound good and quick.

As far as exatly what i am after:

Year: 1997-1998 model (if 1995 not too fussed)

Price: <$25,000

Colour: Black/Midnight purple

kms: Less than 80,000

Mods: Mild or factory

Do i know how to take care of it? I am learning/have friends who know a lot about skylines/GTR's.

hahaha yes it has the famous RB26 :).

I have 1996 Series 2 in Midnight Purple that I'm thinking of selling, pm me if you're interested.

Mileage is 82,000km, bog stock even right to factory boost restrictor still in place (have pod filters though)

mate do some research before you buy anything, otherwise you might find yourself having pockets with holes in them.....you dont seem like you know much about the GTR's, read up on the common problems, then maybe, maybe start looking at some, hopefully with one of your GTR knowing friend.

oh man

noob + GTR = light wallet

research, research, research.

You might like to attend some SAU drive days/cruises/dinners/poker nights/swingers parties with SAU VIC crew and see what they can tell you.

I been reading up on them for the past week or so now.

Visiting forums, google searching, watching youtube etc.

Getting the basics down atm, not so much the advanced or technical side of things yet. I am working on that though.

But you want US to pick what WE believe is the BEST value GTR on the market in said region for YOU.

You want a car? Pick any two:

1. Cheap

2. Reliable

3. Fast

Why don't you just consult you're mates with their gtr's? Unless their imaginary.

My friend is actually well known for his GTR's/Skylines, he is a member here, but doesn't post anymore as he keeps getting harrassed for advise on cars lol.

I do talk to him quite abit, but he is busy and sometimes doesn't have time to talk and given who he is, he has hundreds of people asking him the same or similar questions, so i don't want to annoy him too much.

Its more a discussion thread more than anything, just want to see what your guys thoughts are.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
