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.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
