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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
