riggap that car looks awesome. Where is the drooling smiley when you need him :wassup: Found it :cheers:

I bet the pic was taken on the way down from Arthurs Seat? I have a pic of my car there somewhere around. :)

hehe rigga..yes the good old boulevard.....my mate stakked his skyline there lollllllllll

its a great time to buy a skyline atm. Its a SHITTTT time to sell. The only way you will get rid of it quickly is to sell it dirt cheap.

I advertised on carpoint & unique cars. Advertised the car for 17K, I was looking for 15K because i wanted to get rid of it quickly because of financial troubles. Had a few tyre kickers and ppl wanting to drive it etc. I personally think that 15 was far too cheap, because i purchased the car a year ago for 22K. It was quite a nice example of a r33.

Eventually sold it to a mate for 15K. Lost out bigtime! I'm never buying another skyline again. The fines/canaries/epa's drove me insane. The car was nice but the running cost of up to 300+ bux a week in petrol was bullshit. The car depreciated hard in one year and because of all the bad publicity etc ppl dont' want to buy them unless its shit cheap.

Prepare to lose out. Thats all i can say. But put it this way. The longer you hold onto your car, the more you will lose out again. you might as well sell it now. R33 will fetch you probably 14-17K for a mildly modified model.

good luck.

I've had my car for just under 3 years now and I've never been pulled over or defected in any way. I guess its probably because my car has more than a bees dick clearance and the exhaust is a legal sound level :thumbsup:

As for running costs, I drove it down to Phillip Island for the long weekend and got 283km to almost half a tank of fuel... says something about the tune its in :uh-huh:

hey guys,

i bouhgt my r33 gtst it was a late 94 model and bought it off a mate from gym for 20k it had aroudn 100,000 km on it was black had a muffler air filter better globes and a full gtr kit and was clean and also came with log books from jap ..which i lost...

i had it on the forums with no real interst i guess cos it wasnt dirt cheap! put my numba on the car ..got 1 guy who called i think he was behind me asking stupid stuff like does it go alright...etc...wasted my time

had 2 calls from ppl off trading post....but nothign to serious....then i put it on carsales and one of the first serious ppl to look at the car said..i ike it and i thought ok...mayb wasting my time his gf rang me 2 days later sayn how much you gona do it for as we are seeing bank tomorw....i kept plates and took 500 off the price and said for 21k with gtr r33 rims full zorst off turbo now and about 120kms on the clock... i sold it

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
