Really? I know he's in Victoria but give Phill at Tokyo Prestige an email and see what he can do for you.

Were you after a mostly stock 2 door Turbo manual? Coz when i got mine he said for a turbo manual coupe i'd be looking at around 14k. I only had 10 to play with so I opted for a 4 door, Turbo with an auto but have since changed it to manual for 900 bux :)

Alright thanks for that, will check that place out!

Yes, mostly stock 2 door turbo manual series 2 in black (GTT). pretty specific...and perhaps that's what is driving my price up! I'd pay around 14k depending on what has been done to the car (or not done), but definitely setting a limit to nothing higher than that.

You are going to struggle to find a series 2 for 15k, when I was looking there were 6 for sale in the country.

I bought mine for 18k in July & that was one straight off the boat from an importer in Sydney.

You will be able to buy a series 1 privately for that sort of money for sure.

Black and blue series 2 are rare finds

Most are white, yellow , red

Good luck finding a series 2 in good nick , lower km for under 18-20k the prices are sliding up a bit now for good examples

I ordered a black one for the wiff ( ex now.lol) but it was destroyed in the container shipment

The series 2 is a more refined car with some decent options , the biggest drawback is the ghey front bar and the huge pissweak wing on some

dont take off the wing that makes them look boring like a camry lol

Gtr wing , jun tall stands , carbon blade , led modified 3rd light embedded in the wing looks nice :-) but I'm partial haha

yeah i've realised that (though it's definitely possible). the real question is what makes the S2s worth the few grand extra? the answer is...not much

It really is not worth it. I loved my series 1 just as much as I love this one. The only reason I wanted a series 2 is because my series 1 got stolen & I didnt want to buy the exact same car, i wanted something a little newer & a little different so the series 2 was perfect.

Troy, how did it get destroyed and how did you fix it?!? that's kind of ridiculous...

The container tipped on its side on the ship, smashing the side front to rear , I never accepted it and had a white one on order after hearing the news , the white one had more options but cost about 6k more lol

just a pain in paperwork and time from japan

The wiff left after ordering it so she kept the r31

I sold my RZ tt supra and kept the skyline

Didn't cost me a thing just hassle , you must insure it for transit if your smart

Worked out the white one was much better anyway

Redbook is pointless unless your car is traded into dealer or wrecked , some car loan companies base that on loan value , but skylines will pull what ever the market bears and condition

That is wholesale prices in most cases

I actually wanted mine in Yellow but the yellow ones with same specs as mine were 2k more as it was supposed to be rare, so i settled for blue pearl.

After owning a series 2 for 6 months & starring at the boost gauge every time I drive the car I have only just noticed the series 2 boost gauge does not read in KG/CM2.

It reads in KPA

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
