Found a 94 R33 GST-t which I’m interested in, excellent condition, tein suspension, 60 000kms white, subtle body kit, after market diff, 3inch exhaust off the turbo, 17 inch and a couple of extras … the price is $24000

I have looked and driven others priced between $19000 and $22000 (the price range I was looking in) some with similar mods.

Any comments on the $24000? I feel it’s a bit high, but the car has great feel about and the quality is the best I have seen so far.

where is the price quoted? is this an import? if so u could prolly import the same car for about $15g from japan if u act quickly. phone an import broker in brisbane.

ask the queensland section for the name of an import brokers name. the only downside of importing is the long long wait.

$24g in australia still does seem a little high.

that's right blackness.

FYI: the late 95-96 and the seriesII's were a tad better in the engine area. seperate coil packs on each plug, driver airbag, different spoiler etc....not saying they're faster or more superior, just sayin they command a tad higher price :)

I was going to go for a S2, but went for the "S1.5" instead :)

good luck with searching.... :)

If the engine has good compression and if the car is well serviced, not just engine but gearbox and diff, on a regular basis it is well worth the extra $$$.

Ever wonder why there are always theads about fuel ecconomy and people have these enormous differences on the same basic vehicle. Wonder why some less modified cars are faster, and on dyno days produce more power than more modified vehicles.

I looked at many a skyline in Perth before settling with mine. At the time there was a range of prices from 19k to 28k. Plenty of these cars were less than healthy, though to someone not familiar with what a good skyline should be like they all would seem like beasts.

Jap cars that have 'low Kms' are not victims of speedo tampering for the most part. It's not the kms you have to worry about it's the fact that these vehicles spend a great deal of time just idling and being driven 'start -stop' carbon glazing the bores nicely.

the car was running 0.8 bar but felt as strong as another 94 also running a 3 inch turbo back but running 1.0 Bar .....

Still hard call an extra $2000 to $5000 for the quality ie a FMIC and maybe a power fc

future plans for the car I end up buying will be the usual

FMIC

new ECU

upgraded fuel sys & different turbo

(unless I can find a well priced car that has all this done already)

Blackness,

'Feel' is not always a very good comparison. I'd be inclined to measure.

The extra $2000 to $5000 is what you end up paying to fix the 'cheaper car' down the track.

Buying the extra performance gear with spare change is tempting isn't it. But consider this: I have a car that has had very little done to it, no PFC no FMIC no ECU upgrade and conservative 10psi of boost. It is equal to or even faster than some with these improvements. All I can say is I expect to go faster still when and if I add these things down the track. So you can end up buying all these lovely expensive mods just to end up the same speed as the better condition stockie.

Forget what I said however if you just want the bragging rights to say my car has this that and the other mod dispite it not being able to crack a 13sec 1/4.

Blackness, Buying a imported car does have its benefits, e.g. Cheaper. But a local car you can have a feel to see whether you like it or not.... Also an imported car you can expect to wait for ages once it hits AU.... Have a look at the thread "Compliance Problems.. Help" or something like that

Cheers

its a bit too pricy i think, wouldnt pay more than 18-19 grand.its a series 1 aswell i think usaid.

and u can get brand new tein coil cover suspension for $2200 or second hand for just over $1000. for a 94 model its too high.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
