Is This R33 A Good Price?

[Freeman]

Im looking for an R33 and i found this on Carsales. Just wondering if anybody knows anything about this car, its history or if it seems like a good price for the year and modifications. If theres anything that you want to say but not post please PM me. Thanks for your help.

It LOOKS ok, but you will have to see it in the flesh, give it a good look over and take for a test drive. Then you may be able to form some opinion on whether it is a good price or not. Impossible to tell from what is written there.

Agreed,

It's also freshly imported, so he's trying to make cash.

Another thing to check... there's normally a reason why Japs respray cars.... make sure you check for accident damage / rust very very very carefully.

Engine bay looks a little tardy, you must also question why it was repainted and have it thoroughly inspected as mentioned above.

[Tommyk]

id suggest you speak to allblitz off the forums

look at the number plate - its most likely him selling it

Lol yeah i went to Rons last week. L Plater 33 went there with me he's just trying to be a cunny funt, its where he bought his 33gtst too. While he was on his L's (cough parents are wogs cough).

Yeah he had a nice 96 series 2 with 18' Volk racing rims, kit, cat back and wing and it was 19500. Had a Apexi power FC too, but it didnt run as well as my mates, meaning it pulled nowhere near as hard. All that my mate has extra is a HKS front mount, pod and CAI. Should there be that much of a difference because of these modifications?

I was thinking the poor performance could be due to the tune done in Japan. RX engineering quoted me $600 to tune, plus i would have to buy a second hand hand controller cos it got ripped during transit, so that went a bit past my budget. They said they are a pain in the ass to tune and require around 7-8 hours dyno time to get a good result, apparently a lot of load points or something?

They recommended (i think) a Microtech, priced at $1400, plus $200 for a tune, again going past my budget.

And it also had a drift gearknob which worried me.

Security, yeah thats cheap but you lose a fair bit from auto, plus the year and kms.

EDIT: and im guessing it looked nothing like it does in your pic it looks awesome atm
