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

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me

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.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
