2.5L NA, 6 cyl, 140KW, 4WD, 1390kg

That power figure would be a little optimistic considering it would be 17 years old.

Not fast, not light, not fuel efficient and expansive.

I have had mine since 1998,

coming up to 196,000km and I am very very very happy with it.

Not sure why you want this as a first car. Boot is a bit small but I guess family isn't a consideration.

Rear seat doesn't have a fold down for a surfboard.

Question is , how well maintained is the one you want and what parts will need to be replaced in the next few years. Remember its 15 years young. Fuel is not as good as a modern car , and it likes premium better,but I have switched to LPG,anyway.

I would choose a turbo if I had my choice again, but it has plenty of power to get you into trouble if you haven't had a lot of experience.

The back is a bit light so be careful of it swinging out if you are careless driving.

The 4 door is not allowed into Australia unless you have owned it overseas then requested a special dispensation to import it, unlike many of the other skyline models

Huh... That's a shame, but an Autech R33 GTR 4door is ok? :wacko:

well the one I'm looking at has 83,000 k's and was imported in 2009 , need to take a drive up the coast to have a look at it but by the looks of the photos provided it looks like it's in good shape, a few scratches but what can you do really, it's pretty much stock besides the sound system and an exhaust.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
