Ruxis,

Its had a hit in the rear end from what I can see...(panel gaps are dodgy/arent factory)....paint seems off in colour on the boot pic and has a lot of orange peal...wouldnt be suprised if whole car has had respray

Best way to tell of rear end damage is look in the boot and check for the factory seam sealer (where the floor pan connects to the beaver panel).

Only way to tell 100% is inspect in person, but it looks dodgy.

As for the chassis code, well its not a GTR chassis code so its most likely been rebirthed.

Most examples of 33 gtr's for sale in Australia atm look pretty tired in my opinion....

Better off getting something nice from Japan and paying a little bit extra (You can fetch an R33 for a good price from Auction, dealer is always a bit more expensive)...

Anyway, there is currently a Grade 4.5 Midnight Purple R33 GTR going through auction in Japan (today)

I say you could snap that up for 22k landed and complied....

From a dealership (youll always pay more)

Immaculate Dark Grey R33 GTR for 30k landed and complied

Auto Select Tuned R33 GTR with Single Turbo for 32k landed and complied

http://www.j-spec.co...ne-7077060.html

Your looking at photos dude :S

Defo not paying 30k for a f**kin 33 gtr. I've been looking and there's some that look really nice for 20k(keep in mind I don't give a f**k about panels 1mm off that i can see in a photo from 10 metred away etc)

Ahhh okay, yep.

This one may be worth looking at Ruxis, looks pretty tidy

Could bargain with him and shave a few grand off the price...

Plus its Series III

particular part i need to replace on my car:

Ex Nissan Australia - $272.40

Ex Nissan Japan - $112.60

We get ripped off badly in Australia...

Which is why I have gotten most of my parts for my S15 from Japan from the contact I have over there, and saved a lot of money in the process.

Nismo smoked inidicators have been installed.

Also, RDA slotted/dimpled rotors + EBC greenstuff + hardware kits have been installed.

Pictures coming tomorrow.

Hey benji,arn't you at the nats?

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
