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.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
