Hi, im sure this has probably been done to death, as I've noticed compared to our eastern states counterparts skylines, and cars in general seem a tad more expensive in WA.

Anyways, I'm in the market for an R33 GTS-T, and I've set a max of $18k for one, when I take into account the fact that insurance is like $3k p/a or something ridiculous for a 19 year old.

I've been looking through the autotrader, and thought I had some success when Skippers Performance had a couple advertised around that price, only to find that it wasnt listed on their website.

So if anyone could help me out that'd be great, cos it's either that or a Soarer or a 300ZX. I'd really prefer the skyline though.

Bigwurm . I got my 4door R33 25t for 15,500. its the best bang for your buck. i dont regret my purchase one bit. it may not look quite the same as the 2dr but can go just as hard. i got a 14.8 with just a pod filter and some different tyres. plus its unique. not too many 4drs goin round :) so maybe look at that option :D any way good luck with the purchasing man im sure whatever car youll get youlll be hapy with in the end. cya

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
