Mate personally it's worth around $10,000 or $12,000.

The only fact why I say that is because of the K's..

12k would be a steal none the less.

Tell him he's dreaming, less than $10k i reckon.

Its NA

Its got heaps of kms - you will have to fork out another $1k for the 200k service etc.

Its only GC.

In a few years it wont be worth anything.

finally someone see's reason

an auto, NA, with a shit load of kms....why would you pay anywhere near $12k for it.

Depends on the condition of the car mate. When I was looking at cars I saw some skylines with 60-70K Kms but just looking at it I could tell that it was carelessly kept and driven. Paint was chipped in many places, scratches on side skirts and bumpers. Even with all that it was priced around $22K. What a load of crap.

Pay what feels right to you. 10-12K doesn't seem too much if the car looks and drives great. 200+Kms makes no difference to me.

I bought my manual 1993 model R33 GTS-4 (Non-turbo, 4WD) for $12,000 about 6 weeks ago.

It had 87,000kms on the clock which I believe to be genuine.

Interior was in the best condition I'd seen and exterior had almost zero scratches and just a bit of dust from storage. Engine was a bit dirty as it hadn't been cleaned for a while, but no leaks or signs of major wear.

Mind you it only had 1 month rego on it and had to change it over to nsw, all up cost $900 and I need new suspension for it now (although it passed a saftey check before I bought it and blue slip inspection).

Try to find one in good condition, even if it's more expensive because the cheaper ones can work out more expensive in the long run if you have to keep fixing problems..

I think I got a pretty good deal though, it'd been for sale for 3 months and the owner was originally asking $15,000 (which I've seen most GTS-4s asking).

Sorry if I missed it but is the car 2 or 4 door? Personally for an n/a auto with those km's I'd say around $10k? Does it have any service history? Just make sure you get it checked out before you buy and decide from that how much you are willing to pay for it.

Where are you buying the car from?

Hope that helps. Good luck.

R33's don't get any cheaper/worse than that.

This in theory should be the cheapest R33 ever.

Hes right, trust me. The car is prob worth in the 6-9 bracket. Your much better off spending an extra 5gran and getting a decent manual gts-t with lower kms. If thats out of your budget then either wait and save up or don't buy a skyline. You WILL REGRET it. For 6-9 gran u can buy much nicer cars than that.

Well I wasn't meaning to dis the car, just saying that as far as R33's go it's at the very very bottom of the barrel.

If it's in good condition and you get it for 10k'ish I'd say you've done well. You can do a lot worse for that amount of money.

Chances are it hasn't been thrashed either, although this is just an assumption.

Anything over 6k for that car would be a severe waste of money.

The fact that there are people in Australia who wouldn't lose sleep over paying 10 - 12k for that 'lowest of the low' R33's is testimony to what salespeople can get away with in this country... wake up people! In Japan these cars are looked upon as *shit* so why shouldn't we?

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
