Hi guys - I've got my very loved R33 for sale - silver - will post pics if there is any interest. I'll start with the story... I've owned her for 7 years and have used solely for a commuter. She's not hotted up in any way really - and has been well looked after. Oil change every 5k to 7k religiously... Same mechanic has looked after her since day one. BUT I've just had word that I need about $3k in repairs to get her back to tip top. Explanation further...

Recent repairs:

New AFM

New Shocks

New Steering all round (the works done here)

Gates Racing 100k service kit - done about 3 months ago - inc water pump etc - the whole lot done

Injectors taken out and cleaned about 3 months ago as well

Oil change to the gear box and diff about 12 months ago

Iridium Sparkies just done

New brakes on the front

New arial motor (reco)

Battery about 12 months old - closed cell (only mention because it was expensive)

Problems Mechanical:

Rocker Cover gasket needs doing

Tyres need changing

Power steering pump has a whine

Clutch has a whine

Problems appearance:

Needs a new front spoiler - it's ok but looks ratty

Got keyed down the right hand side from back to front (worst of it ends at the drivers door)

Dints on the bonnet and the passenger door (just small ones but they are noticeable)

Tear in the drivers seat - about 10cm long

Power mirror button doesn't work anymore

That's about it - I haven't taken pics of her because I'm really not sure if anyone will be interested - and I can trade her in if it comes down to that - but I'd prefer her to go to someone who actually gives a crap about her.

PM if you're interested please and if I get responses I'll take pics.

Oh, price: I'd like to get about $5k because I've spent more than that in the last 18 months. Negotiable though.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
