siksII Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 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.

siksII Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/74938-getting-my-new-r33-soon-15000-from-dealer-what-a-deal/#findComment-1375348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
n15m0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 your mom rocks! but i'd get the car checked out b4 handing over the cash. Looks can be deceiving. Having 120,000ks and also mods does make it a little suspect. but if its all good then well done!

grigor Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 If your import shop is worth a pinch, they will know that car's history, especially if it's from a yard. Ask them before you hand over the cash.
