i am shocked i wake up to

scott come here scott my mum Yelling at me its like 11

she was outside with a white Gts-t Skyline r33 outside i am like wtf is going on

I go out she shows me the car and says she found it at a dealer down the road i am Shocked for a Dealer in my shit town to have a import next i look at the price on the window thinking it will be heaps

$16999 i am shocked

Look over the car looks clean nice white body kit mags's 17's

120000ks

inside is a little worn hand brake and gear boot

it was imported in 2002

i get him to pop the hood

I find a

Big pod

Brand name front month intercooler

Turbosmart Bov

look at the exhaust and under the car

has 3" turbo back exhaust that isn't too loud which is just what i wanted

i see aftermarket Shocks and springs

Look at it i think its a M spec with bigger front brakes and LSD due to the wing caust its a 1994 with a big wing

anyway bak to my story i go inside and mum goes back to the dealer

i thing about it and go y not have a go i ring her tell him i will give him $15000

i wanting for a nah thats not right off him

he takes my offer of 15k and tells me it is off the market till i pay up gave me a week

I get 3 months warranty

i went to the bank later that day and i am buying it he has taken it off the lot i am still shocked

what r ya thoughts did i get a deal or what

from a dealer yes that is cheap, althouugh you are mistaken about a few things,

all 33 gtsts have the same brakes and LSD not just mspec.

just make sure its in good nick body and mechanically get a compression test done get someone that knows skylines to check it out it might be a rough car and u might not see it unless u know what to look for.

i know a bit about skyline and it looks fine to me

yes the day i get it i am taking to my Import mod shop that only works on Imports and they will check it over

Body is pretty good only thing is the seals on the windows and shit r going but my silvia was the same

What what All r33 have LSD do they i thought it was only M specs

yeah windscreen and rear window seals are often shit

probably best to take it to your import shop for inspection before u buy it rather than finding out any bad news (if there is any) after u get it.

all r33 gtsts have LSDs and the same brakes for sure, i have inspected about a million of them for friends buying and have had 2 myself :D

nice find man, atleast your mum knows what a skyline is, she mistook my GTR for my bro's 180sx driving down the st.

mark

:D Thats gotta hurt.

I reckon 15k from a dealer is an awesome price... gotta wonder how much he paid... :headspin:

just a question like 2 or 3  ppl said get a compression test done is this a thing thats notorious for all skylines or just the 33?? how can u tell if it needs a compression test done or if it has a lack of compression?

compression testing will show if there is something wrong with the engine, like damage or excessive wear, if a compression test comes out bad its best to do a leakdown test which will show exactly where the problem is.

any car you buy should have a compression test done for peace of mind. especially if its a turbo or hi performance car.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
