Ben, if it's just a case of editting the title etc I can do that, pm me the details, otherwise the easiest will be for you to copy into a new thread and make the changes

Cheers i'll just start a new thread in the Motorsport build section will be easier

there are always cheap shells rolling around...I'd talk to Brad or Fatz in the first instance, they both keep their ears close to the ground. An excellent 33 gtr roller with lots of good stuff was just sold cheap....but that doesn't really help you.

that was probably the one i was looking at..

I have a 32R at work at the moment which is being parted out and the owner does want to sell the shell.

It's a touch rough around the edges and has a 4130 drag type cage in it. Could be cut out and Redone easily enough.

i have a r32 gtr sitting here doing nothing too but i really want to build that as a street car.

i liked that r33 rolling shell because it had a cams approved roll cage and it had been compiled and previous registered with the cage in nsw and it looked really clean.

+ i have a r33 gtr donor car i could use for parts.

but i'll keep your car in my mind thanks.

I think more threads like the dry sump one would be beneficial to create conversation and information.

Threads would have to be specifically Motorsport orientated.

Kinda like the Bruce ducting thread and the cooling thread that are going at the moment in other sections

Where are these threads now as they are the exact sort if things that are motorsport orientated that we could all benefit from.

I've always thought your better off buying a clean road car and building a race car.

Road cars cost as much to build and they are worth nothing to buy already done.

I wouldn't buy someone else's race car unless I planned to strip it and rebuild it anyways. I see way to much patch up repair work to keep them running during the year.

i'm having second thoughts about my r32.

i'll keep thinking about it.

Peter at advan currently has a white R33 GTR that's a police stolen recovered vehicle for sale.

It's race only and complete. Little rough.

I believe his after 7000ish for the whole car

[tweety bird]

he wanted 7500 when i spoke to him.

[Risking]

7.5k isn't bad for a whole GTR

[tweety bird]

it is for one that has been thrashed..

have you seen the car?

[Risking]

They are all trashed, it just depends how well its been tarted up as to how good it looks.

I'd have no hesitation to buy that car if I wanted to build a track R33.

It's raw so you know what your starting with as opposed to a tidied up nugget, the engine needs to come out anyways for a sump etc so check it out internally.

80% of the interior is going in the bin.

The other caged 33 that was for sale was a bargain. Few and far between though.

[Risking]

I'm sure if you walked in with a cash offer he'd find it hard to say no.

[tweety bird]

tried that, no dice.

after a think about it i'm thinking i might buy something like a r32 gtst or a silvia and do one or two years worth of track days and learn how to drive and maintain a race car.

while i'm doing that i'll take what i've learnt and build my r32 gtr over time, i think that's the best way to do it (for me anyway).

now to find a r32 gtst that hasn't been tarted up with the help of ebay..
