How Much To Fix? Help

[mercyseat]

Howdy, Im looking at buying an 1996 R33 GTST automatic but it has NO RWC for VIC and out of rego for 3 mths.

Car is stock other than 18" rims and a HKS exhaust.

Car problems are and i need to know a rough cost of each to consider an offer towards the car or if it is worth it.

Needs timing belt done....i know this costs around $500 and better to get the timing belt bearing replaced too., though is it also good to do the water pump at the same time?? My last R33 cost me close to $1200 for this major service but i had heaps of other stuff done like plugs, oil changes etc etc

It has a leaky rocket cover gasket....is this a worry?

And as usual has a power steering leak.

Any ideas of costs involved to repair this? Or a good mechanic situated in brunswick/coburg area?

Secondly how much to replace the rotors on an R33 these days as i owned my last R33 back in 2004.

the guy is currently asking for $7500 with NO RWC.....good buy or stay clear.?

Any help appreciated

cheers

you could find an auto for that price or maybe cheaper WITH rego. i see auto's pretty cheap when i have a browse around. personally id look around for a better deal. however if you do decide to go with this car, the leaky cam cover gasket isnt too much to worry about. can get both cam cover gaskets and half moon gaskets needed to replace both sides for about $120 and pretty easy job to do yourself.
