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

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
