hey every1,

mah cousin recently entered the exciting world of skyline ownership & after seeing my car bought herself a nice R33, excellent condition an really low Ks. BUT I noticed that her wheels only have 4 studs/spokes. I'm confused as I have only ever seen R33s with 5 studs on the wheel, She's not really into cars so she's got no idea either (bought it coz she thinks itz sexy). I'm just wondering if this is normal or if the dealership sold my cousin a shifty skyline.

I'm also a little concerned about how the car is a 1993 but only has about 66,000kms on the meter :uhh:

Her car is a 1993 series 1 R33 coupe, N/A though

What's your opinion?

when i was looking for my r33 there were heaps with very low KM eg 52 and 60 to me they all just seemed abit sus.  if its a 93 the car has only done 5000km a year. thats less than 100 a week. She could be lucky but then again there are lots of dodgy bastereds out there

I drive around 100ks a week.

And I hope she didnt think it was a turbo that she was buying and got ripped off !

aww nah she knows what a turbo sounds like thanx to my car :wassup: but her folks didn't want her to get a turbocharged car, an her insurance is heaps cheapa den mine

As fer da really low k's the car looks really top notch. a few scratches on the side of the bumper but that's understandable. As fer performance the engine bay looks well maintained an it runs smoothly an quietly, all points that this car is on the level :(

It'll make fer a really nice daily driver

last night i made it to 360kms when the needle was below the 'E' on the fuel gauge.. was basically driving slowly up hill and letting it roll in neutral downhill :rofl:

360kms in 53L - crap. :P

i think it's getting worse now.. i drove about 50kms and it's dropped from full to halfway between full and the second line - i wasnt even driving it hard AT ALL last night :

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
