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.

yeah mate there is sum really good importers around sydney also in thornton in newcastle.......

:) i got mine 33 from Australia Compliance Workshop in Thornton, Newy.. friendly service, cheap prices.... too much to mention... ask for Ron (the owner) and tell him the guy who bought the black 33 a month ago referred ya :(

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

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
