Gday,

Just wondering if theres anywhere I can find how much r33s are changing hands for at the moment or what is a fair price to buy/sell?

Particularly interested in r33's as below.

ie. 1995ish 50k clean stock

ie. 1996ish 70k clean light mods (air, muffler, wheels)

Redbook and NRMA don't seem to have r33s and I see a variety of sales for perfectly good r33s between 15k-20k.

Whats the deal? I don't want to pay too much I don't want to rip anyone off.

Thanks.

I think you'll find that prices vary a huge amount as there's no real baseline price that they sell for (stock examples I'm talking here) - possibly because the auction prices in Japan seem to be quite random or vary based on where they were sold. Some cars came in fully modified, so were cheap, whereas some were modified here and the owner wants a little more to cover their costs.

Also, the low km requirement is a bit questionable imo - most Japanese cars have had their odometer wound back, so basing prices on mileage is pretty much useless.

So basically what I'm saying is that you could probably find a totally stock 95 S1 R33 for $20K (a tad overpriced imo) or you could find a modified S2 96 model for 18K (underpriced). I think if you're willing to pay what they're asking, then buy it. Otherwise, just wait until one catches your eye at a price you like. The 15-20K range you suggested should get you a very nice example.

BTW You might want to take a sneak preview of my ad :) (I haven't put it in the paper yet or in the for sale section)

R33 GTS25t for sale :)

A shameless plug Mi I like it :)

Thanks for the info that sounds about right - whats the deal with the winding back tho? Surely it's not ALL wound back? I guess a 50k example might be questionable (especially if the current owner has unplugged the dash clicker over thing) but still not ALL?

Unfortunately I've first hand known and heard of excellent ones being sold at $15k and total bombs sold at $19k .. its a bit dodgey if you ask me.

Especially since r32 prices are in the SAME PRICERANGE!! <<< this shits me the most since I like the r32 but r33s are in most cases cheaper (if you consider they are newer etc).

I guess the moral of the story is if you wait long enough you can luck onto something - thanks mate appreciate that (... i will check out your ad now altho i prolly seen it already).

hehe yeah it was a little shameless, wasn't it :)

I should rephrase what I said about winding back - I'm sure there are plenty of ones that aren't wound back, but it seems pretty damn common to find a a 94 model with 50,000km on it - it's just slightly unbelievable.

And you're right about the R32s being in the same price range. I think it might be because they're a bit rarer than 33s. A bit strange though, imo.

Thanks for checking my ad out, too :)

I recently bought a stock 1995 R33, I benchmarked it against the nicest dealer cars I could find.

Privately I found a 1995 which seemed to have an honest 75k km on it for $18k. A bit scruffy but $5K cheaper than a similar car at a dealer.

All the S2's I looked at seemed overpriced compared to dealer S2's - detailed with warranties... but I did miss two at just below $20K which sold real quick!

I doubt there are $15k GTS T R33's worth owning, & I doubt that too many R32 GTS T's actually change hands for the big bucks people asking.

I was looking for a daily driver so I was after a stocker, YMMV.

And you're right about the R32s being in the same price range. I think it might be because they're a bit rarer than 33s. A bit strange though, imo.

I know a guy who used to own an R32, and his mechanic told him that the even-numbered Skylines were the better, refined versions, and the odd numbered versions were the crappy prototypes (like Holden/Ford Series 1/2). He also said that the RB20 engine (even number) was better than the RB25 (odd number), so the R32 was still better than the R34. And this guy believed all this 100%. I shit you not! So if there were enough people like this around, that could explain why R32's are overpriced :P

Seriously though, I think it's just that the R32's are rarer and there seem to be a disproportionate number of people that like R32's more than R33's. So given a smaller number of cars available for the former, that drives the price up.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
