omg ive been there

their skylines are all pretty expensive

in the 25k+ range

but then they like to dress up their skylines with body kits mufflers and all the other stuff

and nice coat of shiny wax

their cars are nice but expensive

i'd so much prefer to import rather than buy from a dealer but only cause the importer i went thru is probably the only one i trust. Especially after the trouble my mate here has gone thru with craig from J-Spec and other stories about greg.

my next car i will go thru mark again... which will either be an R32 GTR or an R34 GTT

Ex- ur selling ur car? why? i hope its to buy another line! :P

Inark, I just booked my flight to london yesterday flying out the 26th March.. thats why im selling it, i'll be gone for a while... but will continue to whore the boards as much as possible

im flying out to canada around march 15th and im not selling my car, im going to canada for 1 year then the usa for? thats no excuse eh? unless you need the money????

SEI Motors in Dandenong has a crap load of R33 skylines and Soarers.

Never been there myself...wonder what they are like? Prolly dodgy, as are most things in dandy.

Down past Oakleigh along warrigal rd, the dealer at like the end of the series of dealers along there has a few... $23k though or so. Varying quality.

yeah i went there yesterday to check it out. They have a fair few skylines but i reckon they are pretty expensive compared to private sale skylines and the dealer there was annoying. Kept coaxing and using unnescesary(i can never spell this word) language.

and yeha some of their skylines are dodgy. Like the spoiler paint is all gone but the guys said when he sells it he respray it. But yeah some were nice there some with aftermarket parts etc.

guys, stay away from SEI, the owner their is real dodgy. he doesn't know shiat about cars, he just try's to sell them. and he really try's to push u into buying it and leaving a deposit as well. i took a look there a while back, was going to trade in my car, but he was too dodgy. wanted 23k for a series 1 r33.

hes also got honda preludes 94mdl, don't ask me how he brought that down, u can't because thats already sold here locally. the only way i can fink of is by bringing a smashed one and then taking the plates from a local one here and putting it on his one, fixing it up and rebirthing it.

2 things firslty

1.)

i dont think this means mondo the place next to that has some skylines cheaper than mondo, however if you are going to look there you might as well buy from red ace motors on poath road )hugesdale) as red ace motors sells their cars to this dealer....trust me buy one from red ace motors...

2.)

hey akeenan you can take you lin eto the states for a year then you have to export it but you would be 1337 if you did

i would be 1337? what does this mean... im going to leave my car behind with my step father to drive occasionally

Whats the point of leaving my car here sitting depreciating for a year or two? At least when I come back, I can set my sights higher :D

a few months before i bought my car, i went to mondo motors (well that whole car yard) to do a bit of "window shopping." you always hear "oh, we'll fix that up" or "we'll paint that before we sell it" um...why dont they do it before they "advertise" it? maybe coz they hope some poor person doesnt see all the things wrong so they can get out of work (and money)? mayve they will get you to sign things before they fix it...then do it dodgy?

anyway....i looked at a r33 gtst (what i have now, but not from there) i was actually interested. i asked for a test drive, he said only if you put down a deposit! he then asked me how old i was, what my insurence record was, how much i earn, then he said "basically, if you're under 27, dont bother. the insurence will kill you!"

he pretty much said dont buy this car! so i didnt! (this guy had sooo much gel in his hair, i think it was poisoning his brain.

if i was to buy again...i would probably import...much cheaper, and chances are, its not as dodgy!!!

    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
    • Hi, Will the R33 GTR rear brake backing plates fit a GTST? I'm struggling to find GTST ones but can find new GTR ones.   Thanks.
    • I also got the same floor mats for a bit of extra bazzaz haha
    • Some more close up pics now that I’m back to working on the car, the loop pile is nice but again haven’t compared it to the other types in person, it’s hard to tell from the pics on the website. View of the hemming on the edges too, it comes in 2 pieces - front and back, honestly very happy with it for anyone on the fence.  Also attached my previous pics from further up as it didn’t let me post them directly before. (Nothing worse than photo bucket pics that aren’t hosted anymore years later)
