Hey guys and girls.

I'm new here and own a 97' R33 Gts-t.

The Missus wants us to have a more family car, so what better then a Stagea!.

I know its hard to judge and tell just but the carsales add, but if i could get some opinions on this one i would much appreciate it :)

im pretty new to the Stagea world, so all the help i can get would be awesome.

Thanks, Kurt

had the 100k service = fake kms

i would say its been in an accident too, if you get it checked out professionally with warranty could be ok, still a little expensive

edit - the passenger head light looks fogged up also

could you be more specific about what u want to know??

totally agree its definately had the front end resprayed and the clock is wound back. its over priced to hell for an auto.

damn, getting turned of it now you think there fake kms and had a hit :(

fairly obvious actually. the clock says 75,000 but it still has the japanese 100,000km service sticker on the airbox. obviously to stupid to peel it off. the paint forward of the front doors looks fresher than the rest and the rad is skewed on the mounts. which is a great indicator of a front hit.

my hearts not set on yellow at all, lol...would probably prefer non yellow.

that one uis alot better but its in another state :(

give the "purchasing a stagea" thread a really good read mate. then make sure every car u look at is thoroughly checked over. and the best advice you will recieve about the stagea section is to use the search function ALOT all your questions will have been answered time and time again.

Hmm, this one is actually closer to where i live...had someone tell me once though not to go past 99' models anything later are not as good??

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
