HI all,

I am trying a different tact this time as my last thread started a fuel price discussion lol.

A 94-96 R33 Manual in good nick inside and out

Stock as Stock can be

reasonable k's 80 -100

How much would you pay?

Where would you buy from local or OS?

Private or Dealership?

Recommendations on all of the above, i am in Townsville QLD so home state is preferable for rego etc

THanks Stink

Japan: 14.5 - 15 K drive away with rego.

You can get a stocker R33 grade 3-4 for about 450, 000 - 500, 000 YEN

Dealership : 18K

Private : 17K

$15k drive away with rego etc...as if!

ive been looking at imports and they're more than that...you might get 1 in good condition with low kms for that price before rego, tyres etc!

if you know of some for the price you said, point me in the right direction and ill buy 1!

Hi, how's it going? I'm ex tsv myself and wanted to help you out. if you can get down to brisbane, there are heaps of car yards there that stock good cars. some of these cars can be a little over priced as they know how desirable these cars are.

I was on christmas leave, wandering around, having a look at some car yards when I found my Impul R33R, a complete tuning shop car (a genuine collector's car) and they didn't even know what they had! I'm just saying there are bargains out there.

If you want to go with a private importer, you can save a lot of money, IF you can put up with the wait for the car to arrive. You can also get boned by some dodgy bastards.

I'm just saying do your research, get lots of photos and a hard copy list of all aftermarket parts on the car BEFORE it leaves japan and again as soon as possible after it lands. I say this because some of my friends imported, got absolute bargains for thier cars, only to have some f**k steal some guages and the stereo during shipping. :)

Also, don't be wowed by stickers and other useless stuff, they can hide cracks/dents etc. :(

Hope you find something great!!! :)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
