I don't know. It sort of just dropped off. Probably in storage lol

Probably or it has been bastardised too much to the point it isn't recognisable.

It's good to understand that we can only have a conversation like this because all GTRs up to BNR34s are appreciating right now (as auctions are a driving force).

This particular thread would have been useless a year ago.

Canada appears to be after the BCNR33s at present.

Whilst auction results don't reveal this, SAU Member "roy8532" is having to buy parts for the Canuks in sizeable quantities.

Talking of this GTR, I wonder what happened to one that Autostyle used to own?

Its still alive. Now up in QLD.

I owned it for a while & only just sold it a few weeks ago.

the top secret r33 gtr actually got sent to the UK after its stint in Japan...

this is the one which did the famous 330km/h Wangan run....

it's since been refreshed with further headwork & different turbo setup...

the one in Australia, well - it was passed off as the famous version but it was not. the real top secret gtr has never been in Aus

Guys looking for someone stock or easy enough to revert back to stock, prices seem reasonable at the moment and can't see them increasing in price anytime soon for r33, would definitely not pay more than it's worth. 

 

Anyone have any info on this GTR r33 in Vic ? https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1995/SSE-AD-3735120

 

or these two in QLD?

Lol. The "worth" as you say will be dictated by the masses.

As long as the 32 and 34 increase, the 33 will also increase. Will very likely be no where near that of the 34 but they will go up if the rest of the market increases

That car has a Nismo cluster, meaning it almost certainly doesn't have the 51,000km shown. Glad to be proven wrong, however I wouldn't pay near 30k for that particular car.

It's all relative to availability. As time goes on and the number of good clean cars decreases, the price will go up. Supply and demand. Fact of life.

Realisically how much can they appreciate supply and demands one thing, is everyone going to have to pay 100k+ for a GTR? bs. If prices rise to much who the hell will buy them, when you can get a brand new WRX's,clubsports ect.

Not me but someone hell bent on owning a gtr and just has to have it, probably will. Prices have already started going up, they're not going to start coming down because we don't like it. LOL.

I agree with Hadouken.

I bought my 33 GTR in nov 2014 for 20k. Back then there weren't many advertised at 35k+....those that were usually had rebuilds with serious money spent .
There were definitely more advertised from 18-24k mark. Now those cars would probably be advertised anywhere from 24 to 30 grand I believe.

Agreed with above - they'll never be as expensive as 32's & 34's - I bought mine at $24k - stock Vspec example earlier this year. But nothing drives like a GTR - if I move it on in 5 years for $35k I'll be even on rego, insurance, servicing & consumables - cheap for the same drive train as the others

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
