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.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
