I Just wanted to get other peoples view on this

I'm currently looking to buy a R33 GTST -1997 - Manual - 12 months rego Mspec

full stock , mint condition for $24,000.00 is this a fair price?

Will be the 1st driver in australia just imported.

Is there any point in doing a rev check when its only been in australia for 1 week.

will be the 1st australian driver?

If the car has only just been imported, it has obviously never been registered in Australia before so it will not have had any finance on it.

REV's checks for encumberance on a vehicle, ie money owing, so this wont be nessesary on a freshly imported car

I bught mine the same way you did.

Someone imported it and i bought, so second owner in Aus but 1st registered on road owner.

The don't bother with REVS comments.....just do it man!

I did even though it was just in. It doesn't hurt and takes you a whole 5 mins of your life!

...and its free.

get the vin nuimber checked... nissan at hornsby will look it up for you... this will show if it is the car that left the factory with the vin that is on it now, colour etc..

also get someone who knows these cars to check it out for you, lots of things can be wrong with them!

iissavi: The guy you need to speak to whos clued up on imports at Hornsby nissan is away.

Also an NRMA inspection is a waste of your money, they will happily tell you that your wiper blades are ok and your tyres are fine but they arent trained in performance import vehicles so you are best to either arrange to get the car inspected at a performance shop or get someone you trust and who really knows his stuff to go over the car with a fine tooth comb. Either way make sure you do a compression test.

Where is the place you are buying the car from?

iissavi: Tell the dealer/seller that a condition of your purchase is that they allow the car to be taken to a reputable import performance workshop for a thorough checkover prior to laying down any funds.

I sold my GTS-T a few years ago and Jim at CRD in Silverwater inspected my car for the new buyer and I was incredibly impressed with the level of detail they went to.

They checked the engine, body, every switch inside the car, radio, road test, braking, suspension etc etc and dynoed the car to ensure everything was in good working order.

Expect to pay around $200 for a full inspection, and believe me, its money well spent.

I normally speak to John in parts at Nissan

You may be able to try the parts division at Crows Nest Nissan as well

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
