Originally i wanted to spend $10000 cuz its our first car (me and my bro) now my dad said his sellin the holden and his gonna use it till im on P's, so i got $15000 probably. Where should i look for one?? I went down to Jap Autos round northland and they wanted $14000 for the R33 GTS, anyone know of any good dealers for the skylines??

Cheers

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.

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
