Well I have been lurking for along time now ;) I have been envious and jealous as all hell that every one here talks about "their" cars and I aint got one.

Whilst I have had the money to buy a 10g 2nd Hand Falcon or Holden they just dont compare to the Skyline :burnout:

I have been waiting for months now for a local importer who works for TAU, and as he mainly deals with the surfs and seems to spend more time in Japan than here.

I dont think he has been taking me seriously.

So there is not a Import car yard in Brisbane I have not been hovering around like a vulture :(

Because I know what they sell for in yen as well as all the costs to get them on our roads I was hesitant to pay Car yard prices.

So I have found one and bar a catastrophe it will be mine by Friday or Monday.

93 R33 GSTt Auto

46208 km

$14500

Have taken it for a test drive and crawled over every square inch of it.

It will do for me.

Will be puting a deposit on it tomorrow

Yiiiipppppyyyyy :D

From what I can tell its just wax from buffing, the white stuff under the edge of the light.

I had my brother (An Auto Sparky) and a turbo shop have a look at it.

It would seem that the K's are not genuine. The numbers on the odometer are not dead straight.

And the Brake disk have a to much wear for the K's on the clock.

But they seem to think it was a good buy for the price as the Turbo Shop owner use to import them him self.

That is a bit of a worry but going on the wear and tear as I have seen on 100k ones its no wear near that.

Seat are in excellent condition the brake and accelerator rubbers have no wear. The suspension is still rock hard and I could not see that any evidence of crash repair. All bolts are wear they were from factory.

But for the price which I was able to get him down to $14500, I am prepared to get it. In fact I have paid 90% with the rest to be paid on Saturday when I pick it up.

In the last few months I have looked at lots and test driven many and comparing it to the others it seems quicker that some of the modified ones.

I have done several full boot runs at both low and high speed and not a spec of unburnt fuel and smoke comes out.

There are no flat spots and (this is the bit I like) it smokes both rears on take of with a bit of old ride the break and dump (Auto).

I had a run with a late model XR6 from 100k's and steadily pulled away to 160 where I backed off hehehe

I have wound it out to 180k's on the freeway and its smooth as a babies bum.

I would love to have had another couple of thou to spend but as it is the budget has gone over what I wanted to spend.

I going to spend an extra $300 odd to get one of those extended Gold 3year warranty's that cover cost's of parts up to certain amounts.

EG: $750 on brakes etc.

I really feel that if I pass this one up it, will some time before I find another in as good a condition. Let alone price.

The person who said he could get me one imported for around the 12K mark has not been as help as he was when I first met him. And even if he finds me one in Japan I think the wait and fear of not getting a good once over before parting with the folding money a bit scary.

So he is putting on some new tyres, wheel alignment and a few other things atm and I will be picking it up on Saturday.

So I will be an official R33 GTSt owner on Saturday and am looking forward to my first cruise with you guys.

Just have a to find a way to sleep till then :)

:cheers::wave:;)

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
