I'm selling a R33 for a mate series 2 R33 white with all receipts from import to today's date,
front mount intercooler, pod and exhaust is only engine mods, with aftermarket shocks and springs.
sitting on enkei rp001. easily pass rwc + can supply one upon sale.
100k km on the clock with timing belt and pumps all done.

Price dropped from 12k down to 10k
not too sure about 8k =/

Jez I know your going to be VERY cautious this time and have it checked over top down, bottom up.

Will sour you for life on skylines if you get a lemon after the orange.

8k for a 33 should get you a grade 4.5. Buyers market not a sellers.

If you find one make an offer your comfortable with and walkaway. Do not negotiate !

Take someone experienced with you when you check them out.

If you can afford it and NRMA still do it pay for a written report ($300).

If the seller has issues with you doing this then walk away. They know of something they are not telling you.

Old saying

Thanks Richard,

In the sense of grade 4.5 is that out of 10 or 5? Tbh, I want a fairly clean car and have put a bit more cash towards a R33 so I'm buying a more cleaner one rather than a lemon. I have heard of the NRMA $300 report and I think I'll fork out the money to get one given that if I get anther lemon..I'd probably walk away from the Skyline scene. I was pretty destroyed after finding Helga was to be quite the lemon. 2nd time round I'm bringing all the help I can get before purchasing.

That old saying is very spot on.

IMO, 8k is too much for a R33. There might be a guy selling for 5.5k in Gungahlin (R33, Ohlins, piggyback, FMIC, Catback, low Kms). I haven't been out there in a while. I made a lower offer but he got back to me after I bought 2x R32's for even less haha.

4.5 is out of 5 being brand new. $8k will get you shmick.

As Eiji said they can be had for around $6k and with good mods in pretty good condition. Eiji is good at finding deals :yes:

32's go for more than 33's :yes: now days.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
