I never expected any GTRs owners to agree with me, I mean why would they? They bought a GTR for there own reasons just like I bought a GTST.

That is very true.... people choose what they want to drive for their own reasons, which is a number of factors or they would not be driving them.

If you cant find a R33 GTR for less than 30 grand you cant be looking to hard.

but hmm.. can you please list these mystical R33 GTR for under 30 grand?? I want to buy one..

There are stock 33gtr's available under 30k, but why be ''unable to afford'' as you go into the purchase? your already looking for money to replace a pair of turbos..? So many people sell thier car right after puttin 20-30k into for 40k! do your homework and you will get a bargain supercar capable of 300-320kph everyday and in the right hands will be reliable.. Not 180kph +80hrs a wk workin 2 jobs to modify!

funny how R33 GT-R's came out in 1995 .... hmmm ?

I know you can get R33 GTR's for under 30k. If you dont mind an accident damaged one, or one with a shithouse engine then go for it ;)

Its not easy to find a good one for under 30k, and i highly doubt it

Um im quite sure it was a 94. Would you like a pic of the rego sticker??

Honestly how many Skylines arnt accident damaged? There either repaired in Japan or Aus.

Next you will be trying to tell me that your speedometres genuine lol

I think all the GTR owners are having trouble believe the price of a 33 GTR cause there scared of there resale values??

IM OVA IT!!!!

Whatever dude

tell me the price in japanese yen of cars that you can get that arent accident damaged.

Find a grade 3 or better GTR VSPEC for under 1 MILLION YEN FOB.

I dont give a toss about kms, because we know all about em. I never mentioned kms. I mentioned accident damaged (relative to auctions) and auction gradings.

It has nothing to do with 33 GTR resale values. We all know they are going down. But under 30k for a good one ?

good luck ;)

The one im talking about was already registered and was bought from sydney.

Did u read my post? I said what import isnt accident repaired? Auction reports say current condition not previous. Ive seen a grade 4 R34 GTT manual go for $25000. Prices are different all over the place. Why do you want a price in Yen?? Im not an importer just good friends with one that actually advertises on this site.

Okay lets try this - >

I can import a gts-t skyline for under $10,000 complied and registered

What point are you trying to make dude ?

What import isnt accident repaired? one that hasnt been in an accident.

Why do i want the price in yen? Because all cars originally came in from japan.

I have no doubts you can get a GTST for under 10gs.

I paid so much for mine because of the mod count.

I am not an import broker so how why would i care about how much a car costs in yen?? maybe complied in Aus dollars then il care.

So what point are you trying to make?? Someone said its not possible to get a GTR for under $30000 all I said was that they were wrong??

Who votes world most pointless thread??

the thread aint pointless

All i'm trying to say the chances of you buying an R33 GTR IN GOOD CONDITION for under 30k are slim

The chances in buying an R33 GTS-T for 10k or under IN GOOD CONDITION are ALSO slim.

Look at all the R32 GTR's that came in. Sure some of them were cheap, ie 9-10k + on road costs, but man they were in absolute SH.ITHOUSE condition

Okay, the point im trying to make is very simple. Hell, sure u can get an R33 GTR for under 30k, but it wont be in good condition !

Cheers

What I was saying is the market for 33 GTR's is weird..I just tried to trade in similar spec 32 and 33 GTR's on a 34 and the money they offered wasn't that different for the 32 and 33..(89 and 95 vspec)..It was something like $5000..the 33 was much nicer, but thats the market I guess.

33GTR's did start production in 94. I know cos I owned one.

I bought this car for less than 30k, it had a good engine but

had accident repair history. I would be surprised if you could

find a non repaired series 1 33GTR in average condition for

that much let alone a good one.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
