You could find an OK R33 GTS25t for around $15,00 but certainly not a good, clean example under $15,000. You should be prepared to pay a little more than $15,000 for a decent, clean example. Have a look at this decent R33 GTS25t 5 Speed Manual.

Maybe an older car such as a R32 for your first car because you must think of things such as parts and mantinence, and some R33's are comming up to their 100,000 KM service, timing belt etc arn't cheap. Also factor in insurance, insurance for young driver's with a Japanese Imported car, espicially a turbocharged one won't be cheap. Just a few things you should think of before going ahead and purchasing the car. :)

im in the exact same boat as you my friend. Looking to spend 15 at the most on a good car. I really have my eyes on an r33, but the reality is for a good example of one, u have to spend at least a few grand more, and thats with out factoring in insurance and all that other annoying shit. For 15 you would be best getting something like a r32, 180sx, s13, series 1-5 rx7, 89-90 supra, or maybe even an early model s14. ya never know though, someone might be wanting to offload their r33 cheap somewhere down the road........im still hoping for that to come along, haha. Luck and chance play a big role in the car market in my experience.

Difficult situation your in dude. I was in the same boat when I was 18.... Insurance was expensive and I couldnt afford much... I know you probably dont wanna hear this dude but if i were u, work your arse off for 6-12 months and get some more money in the bank account. if your looking at an r33 turbo manual for 15k you may get one but it will cost u a bit to get the little problems fixed eg(paint touch-ups, timing belts, detailed etc.) If you save a bit more and wait and spend around 18k-20k you will get a clean low kilometer 1995mdl with a set of wheels and maybe a bodykit.... Plus your insurance will come down because you are older... Its only 6-12 month wait and you will get a much better car with no ongoing problems.... Good luck champ!

i've seen a few that look in pretty good condition for about $15, 500-$16, 500 so i mite try n wait for one of them to pop up. how many kms should a 1993-1994 have on it if it's legit...i've read the guide to buying secondhand ones...excellent btw...but i'm not sure how to tell...also i'm not interested in one that has heaps of mods because i can't have it with to much more power Victorian P's :S:S anyway just want it to have good interior and exterior and no mechanical problems or things about to ware out eg timing belts tyres...anyone think it's stupid to give a turbo charged car to a 18 y/o ...benn driving since i was 7 or something ...but really driving since bout 14

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
