nah... don't like em... can you comment on spare parts for an s13 sr20?

[scathing]

Pretty damned easy. They're one of the most popular imports around, so whether you just join in the latest round of wrecking a S13 someone's crashed and taking bits off that, or getting it from a shop, you should be able to locate anything you need.

Well guys... today i went on down to auto alley with my dad... started looking at dealer specific cars mitsu's nissan etc...but, didn't like em for the lack of variety... so we took a cruise on down the road to this assorted dealer... walk in.. see this white r33 GTS 1995... i'm looking at it.. look inside... and it's mint.. farken mint... ask to see under the hood.. and my jaw dropped... it is so clean... and just so f**king clean and well conditioned it's unbelievable... 65k on the clock.. and it shows...

So my dad is also looking at driving the car i would like to get.. and he's in love with the line which is great for me he's down to get i'm down to get it... just need the consent of the lioness mum.

Oh by the way... he's asking 14k ( 13k maybe if we get it tomorrow ) for it... stock as a rock... clean like you wouldn't believe...if i can get pics i will.. it looks, sounds and feels like it got produced yesterday :lol:

So do you think it's worth 13-14k? I sure as hell do, but you guys have alot more experience.. and any feedback would be greatly appreciated as i'm positive someone will snatch it up...soon if we don't act quickly

I jus bought my skyline yesterday- and im so so so happy! Its taken me a year to find the right one, that was roadworthy and what i wanted. Through a private sale, 95 gts 33. Absolutely stock as a rock- which is good for me, cos i wana do my own things to it.. and for 13k its been very looked after, excellent condition and im glad i waited around to find the right one.

Dont rush into anything, jus take ur time and hav a think about it!

[ignuz]

Well had another look today... found a r33 gts25 might be able to get it down to around... 13 he said 13.5 but we'll see... might go for a drive up to newcastle to sus out this white s13 tomorrow...

What did you say that made you edit it 10 hours later?

[ctjet]

go get a vl turbo... for 15 grand you can get 1 thats of its god damn tities, and lucky for u! they're all basically auto!!!

you gotta move away from jap cars to mush police attention. i had a 2 skylines for the past 3 years and all i got was defect after defect after defect.

as long as your not stupid about doing up a vl u can get huge power with low mods

R.I.P. the "JAPCAB"

You know, you're right! Buying a car he can't legally drive will definitely attract less attention from the cops! Any other bright ideas? Maybe he should hollow out the cat and run a screamer pipe while he's at it.....

And since you got "defect after defect", even after the first time you got busted you clearly didn't heed the warning and get it all fixed to a legal condition. So while the first one might have been bad luck, with the subsequent ones they're completely your fault. You know its happened to you before, yet you did nothing about avoiding it in the future.

I know a couple of people whose cars aren't remotely legal. Whether it be cars that have had most of the interior trim pulled out and a full cage installed, or another that pulled 120dB at full noise on the dyno, these guys have never been defected. But then their cars' exteriors look near stock, and the visible mods don't look like a punch-drunk apprentice installed them. And they don't drive around like complete f**kwits.

Something that quite a few people on here have also backed up. The guys that don't act like complete tools tend to not get done by the cops as the wannabe street racers.

[madbung]

The r33 gts would be a great P plate car..

Hope it works out for you.

I couldn't agree more strongly...I've been driving heavily modified cars for near on 20yrs, the only time I get pulled over is when the cops an enthusiast and wants a closer look @ whatever i'm driving for the day.

Can be slightly annoying if i'm running late...but other than that

[scathing]

The only times I've ever been pulled over is if I've done something dodgy in front of them.

While I was f**king annoyed at getting busted for speeding or pulling screechies out of a side street, or the massive powerslide I did in the middle of a busy intersection semi-by-accident, they all had me dead to rights.

[madbung]

Yeah you can't whinge over a "fair cop" hey...

[ignuz]

If anyone knows of any nice r32 or r33 gts's for sale <15k please pm me or add me to msn go_with_my_flow@hotmail.com

I've found a few.. but, i'm sure you guys probably know better places to look etc.

[AMS]

I'll send you a PM

[racsov500]

oy, get a local spec R31 S3 TI. Lovely cars, full plush interior, electric everything, touquey Rb30 motor with dickloads of potential, and the S3 froutn end looks nice as, and the hotplates too!

do it

DOOO IT

*edit- with that much, you could get a pretty nice first car.. i know a guy selling a very sexy S3 Passage import, black, auto, RB20 turbo for like 6k.. f**k its nice. then you could spend the rest modding it

Buy a Stagea

[ignuz]

mmmm... what is the general price range for R33 gts25's series I and II ? ( non turbo)

Because.. i saw a R33 i think series I perhaps... broken handbrake.. minor superficial damage on drivers door.. and the dealer wanted 13.5 for it i think.. and I thought that was a load of crap... it looked to be worth <13k but in his words ( it will tidy up very nicely)

ooo the white one at the first place i saw sold over the weekend ..but i've seen 2 more in better condition and cheaper... need to pray they don't get snapped up..
