Cant Eat Cant Sleep.

[Guest MRE]

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

very stock, very clean. i forget how high the stockers are. look at that ride height.

[Nismo_Boy]

nice looking car.

on a nother note, we have a pajero like the one next to your skyline, and for a 2.5l Diesel it's got some go.

Good stuff mate. Glad to hear you finally got your hands on some skyline action.

Sounds like a bargain to... was it bought from a yard or direct import?

[Birty]

They do ride pretty high, i still havn't gotten around to putting some new springs on mine.

[PranK]

[JiMb0]

As always George, you'd think you would have learnt by now

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
