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 :

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
