You should be looking around the $10k bracket anyway...

The cost of insurance will bump you up to around $15,000 if you're wanting to insure an import on P's.

Here's a list of Car sales and Importers

B)

I have an R33 Gtst Automatic, Turbo, Silver as seen here: http://www.allblitz.com.au/cars/japcars/94gtstm3.html

All mods except Exhaust have been removed. Vehicle has been complianced. I can let go of this one for $13,900 With 12 Months REG.

It is due to come to Melbourne mid next week.

went to carizma today had a good deal R33 GTS-4II manual for 19900 is this a good deal?? only had 60000kms

So you are looking for a non-turbo? Both the GTS and the GTS4 are non-turbo i hope you know.

hehe, u cant tell dezz is always looking around constantly, but its wot u have todo to get a good car. it used to annoy the hell outta me looking for spevefic things in a car and finding the same cars still on there week in week out

im looking to sell my car, to buy a ute or a 4wd, havent advertised it yet though

now pushing 220rwkw without injectors, will let it go for pretty cheap, can drop u the specs

I was gonna strip most of the stuff off but i cbf, if i can get around the 17-18 mark for it ill be happy

Buy private, not a dealer. Non turbo GTS i'd look for a series2 if you can find one, should be able to get one for 13-15k?

Don't pay any attention to km's on the clock, 99% of imports are wound back, pat attention to the condition of the car, seats, steering wheel, gearstick/handbrake leather, pedals etc.. and how well it has been maintained.

hey mate... i know you said no to a turbo, but maybe if your dad saw that u can pick 1 up for $12k, series 1 33 GTS-T with a shit load of mods, he may re-consider?

there's 1 for sale at the moment for that price...in the for sale section

o would most people agree better to go private eventho some dealers have warranty and cheap spare parts??

Dealer warrentys aren't worth much. Since it is thier own money they have to fork out they try to get out of paying for anything. Factory warrenties are different - they are worth it, but only come on a new car.

Besides dealers are good at hiding things. The more they hide about the car the better the price they can get.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
