Boys and girls,

I sold my R33 about six months ago to raise some funds for an apartment I have since purchased.

I brought a cheaper car (liberty RS turbo) for 8.5k and whilst it was a fast reliable little unit I got so much shit from everyone including my girlfriend that I slowly started to resent the fact that I ever brought it.

"Grandad's car with a turbo" was the most common (and hurtful) comment I heard. Anyway I found a liberty nut that wanted the car so badly that he offered my 11k without a RWC which was 2.5k more than I paid for the car in the first place. At the same time I found an R32 M-Spec owner that was guiniunely going to live overseas and not just saying it to attract more buyers.

With these two events happening simultainously I managed to sell the Libery and by the R32 for a bargain price of 11k with plenty of mods and in unbelievable condition.

So the moral of the story is that if you ever think about selling your car to raise funds for something and buying another run-about car look at all other options because theres nothing more painful than handing over the keys to some happy new purchaser.

PS- The R32 came with a massive front mount that is yet to be fitted so if you know a place in Melb that does piping then let me know.

Check out a place called Technic Tuning. Sorry, I dont have their details or anything. They specialize in turbo's especially Skylines. They should be able to do the piping for the front mount because they made the 3" pipe for my catback exhaust.

hahaha good work!! at least u got one of the better looking skylines unlike ur other one :(

as for piping... check with newkon (desmond) in the victrader area... he has complete cooler kits for 600-700 delivered... so without the cooler and just piping and silicon hosing u might wanna see what prices he has

Thanks guys- Yeah I know Mark from Technic, great guys especially for Apexi SAFC tuning but big dollars and long waits for work to be done! or so I have heard.

There was a fair bit of audio equipment that came with the car like a new Kenwood sub, 6x9's and amp that I don't need. Check out the "For Sale Section" if your interested because I'm unloading it all dirt cheap. Still in the boxes but I pulled my system out of the R33 when I sold it and I don't need all this other stuff.

    • 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
