How do you even know this R33 has had no aussie owners? Cos the dealer told you?

I know this because it was on complied on Feb 05 and is still unregistered, and its not from a dealer as such its from an importer.

Anyhow how stoopid is this , I heard back from the finance people today saying that i cant get finance on a Skyline or any other import.. Alas I can get a V8 or a WRX, but not an import.. I am pretty annoyed bout this..

Had some credit issues in the past, like 5.5 years ago. and am now 27..

I just want a skyline, maybe i have to slow down and save more moolah.. Mind u i have a very healthy deposit..

Anyone know any ways around this hurdle.

dude, just get a personal loan for the car. They don't care what car it is then. You can tell em its for a camry!!! Thats what i did (at 22 years old - last year). Interest might not quite be so good but i not sure.

Anyway i don't think thats the best price for that. Bought my 95 gtst with 73500 on the clock, aftermarket stereo, 3 inch cat back exhaust, hks pod but other than that fairly stock (from a dealer) for about 18.5k.

I'd say you should be able to get it for a little bit cheaper than that. Offer 17k or so and see how it goes, other than that keep looking. Looking around certainly pays off in my opinion (also if you buy privately you'll get probably just as good a car but for cheaper)

Anyway good luck with the search

Sure it does mean something.

So for all Skylines in Japan or just from Japan:

ba :bs!: there is no solid rule which is good or bad. A car in japan could sit outside for years, have been inside, be up north, be down south, an ex race-car.. who the hells knows. At least you can inspect the car, or get somebody who knows what they are doing to do so here.. can't do that in japan.

It seems a little high for essentially a stocker, but you're not going to find much better from a dealer. Dealer cars up here are always fairly exxy.

Why not buy one from a member sold on here?.. smoothline has a very nice white gts-t which he would sell for below that and would be much faster, and have quite a few mods and you can speak to him about a 2 year history. One aussie owner.

IMO I think its bit too much.. If u can pay 19k there are lots of nice R33/32's on the forums....

I just bought a R33 for 16k, pretty much stock, except for exhaust, rims, pod. and people say thats expensive. But its really nice and runs perfect.!

my bro imported his r33 for around 20k all up... came with (late 96 model) 64Km's on the clcok auction grade 4 and for people who dont think they can be genuine km's you can inspect his car... it is imaculate inside and out... even has sunroof

so you can get cars with low kms from japan which havent been wound back

you also have to remember jap ppl buy from the auctions to

I dont get why guys join SAU AFTER they have bought their r33 and come on and ask if its a good deal.. what happened to the informed consumer? :)

Edit: my bad, I noticed that he was indeed asking good work!

$19k for a '93 model? Its probably worth about $14k.. 19 will get you a really nice series 2.. or if you want to take the risk of importing you could probably get an automatic r34 GTT :)

Good luck with the hunt.

1. They don't know about the site initially

2. They buy their Skyline

3. They think "I want to discuss my car with others with experience"

4. Post-purchase dissonance "I think I paid too much for this car, I hope my Skyline online buddies will make me feel better by telling me it's a good buy"

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By The Bogan · Posted

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
