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.

dont all lines from the 32, maybe even the 31 have seperate coil packs?

i know mine does.

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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
