This is my R33 Nissan Skyline which has proudly been in my possession for almost four years.

Purchased almost completely stock at 130,000kms, this car has been maintained meticulously by me as someone who was and still is a big Skyline fan.

It is sad to see her go but it is time to move on, as hard as it may be. This car has served me well, it has never seen a track however, taking it up the windy roads to terrigle is a blast, a raw driving experience and truely where the 6cyl turbo comes to life.

This R33 has had 2 owners before me in Australia, car has lots of paperwork with it with history of import and servicing. I have replaced:

- Fuel filter 10,000kms ago

- Genuine nissan coil packs 20,000kms ago

- HID lights (great for night time dirivng and does not attract unwanted attention)

- Stock seats with genuine GTR seats valued at over $700 at the time, these seats are also in great condition unlike many others

- Stock suspension with Ohlin PCV adjustable suspension worth $3,000 (needs to be driven to believe)

- Body painted front strut brace for added chasis rigidity

- Very recently added a boost controller to push boost from standard 7psi to a safe 10psi (this makes it much more enjoyable) 10,000kms ago exactly

- Cat back exhaust, sounds great and isn't as loud as those cannon types

- Interior dash lights changed to quality white LED's, look very sporty/modern at night

- LED boost guage which can change colours

- Nismo gear knob

- Fairly new 265/45/17 tyres back and 245 at front

This car made 155kw at the rear wheels on the dyno last year with stock boost. Still have the paperwork to show this. This R33 is ready for a new owner who not only wants a powerful RB25 but also a nice clean body to suit.

For a fairly stock R33 this thing runs beautifully, it can be aggressive when needed and with the dampers set up the right way, it will feel like a track car, eating up any corner it comes across.

Car also has a factory sunroof which is rare, and also has the front spoiler/lip which is hard to find but makes it much more aggressive than stock.

Asking for $13,900 ONO. Engine and body in great condition, any inspection welcome as I am very confident in this car. Minor paint imperfections as can be expected with a car this age, nothing to fuss about as there is so much more to appreciate. Needs to be driven to be appreciated and comes with paperwork for piece of mind.

No tire-kickers or low ballers, not in a rush to sell.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
