Interms of using this for a rebuild. Hows the enhine and transmition? Is evrything else totalled?

Hope your alright mate, percentage wise how much of the cars components could be placed into the chassie of an older r33 body?

Take me with you next time? I'll shout all the food stops ahahah

Im mature for my age. Id only ever push it on the track, when I say push it... I really mean it ))

That was granturismo 3. Lol took 10 deconds to remember if it was a toyota or mitsubishi.. lots of simmilarities to the supra interms of asthetics.

Sameee

Holy crap! I had an awesome modifyed mitsubishi fto in granturismo 3. The acceleration was like 0 - 330 in 4 seconds from memory

Gran turismo 3 ps2 lol

Ive only played the old ones where you have to hold down the X button and just turn no gear shifting ((

Its available on PC? Hmm ok ill look i to it. I loved ot at cuzins house. Enjoying the freedom of shifting gears. Gran turismo sucks....

Ill play it just need the console ahahah

The good GT-Rs usually are not for sale. You put up an add and if somebodys got one in mint condition and decides, well maybe its time. Then thats how the great deals are made. Ps, i learned that from this community

I have plenty of suppport from people around me who own GT-Rs. Your point on insurrence, I may just have to legally put the car under my dads name and just pay the bills for him. I understand now may be a bad time but again I've got the 18 moths so who knows what can happen in that time. I understand that issue and I'm comming here for your advice ane the advice of my close mates to ensure the decisions I make are going to be well made with your guidance. I'm going for my L's on a bike and will use that as the daily. Super concerned over how easy it is to steal a GTR currently searching for a sophisticated security system. Thanks for your concerns no doubt I need to take all of them into account. I'm sure I can come up with over 45,000 over a year and a half. I have no responsibilities for cash so I can invest it all into this project. Not sure if i mentioned here or somwhere else. I have 18 months until I start at kapooka, interms of accommodation and lifestyle I'm pretty well covered.

If anything giving young kids the opportunities to handle high powered cars is really what gets them killed vs than looking after them. I'm just going to have to be very careful. I'll constantly ask what modifications I should and should not perform. Cheers

ACT licence holder. P off corse co pleated. In ACT there are no veichle restrictions for provissional drivers.

What would you recomend in terms of peice range for a first car. Dad says under $10,000 here I am saying im gonna hit the hours to spend $40,000. Does it seem lile a bad idea if im verry passionate and will work on the veichle?

My appollogies, still trying to qork out the SAU app from a facebook messenger background. I posted earlier under a different topic my definitiom for a good or bad modification. Dont have too much time right now but ill make sure to recap here as well later on. Cheers guys.

Cheers I really apprecieate that. Ahahah thats a GTS-T... I had a quick scroll didnt realise it was the GTS-T. Anyways thanky ou all verry much. No I am not yet ready but will hopefully have upwards of 40,000 within the next 18 moths.

my apologies, had not sent the link to the skyline on gumtree. here it is: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/franklin/cars-vans-utes/r33-skyline/1140467265

Variables to buying an R33 GTR Alright so just before I start, I’d like to make it clear that I am not yet in the position to purchase an R33 GT-R. However, here are a few I am considering to save for over the next 18 months. Please tell me what you think, what traps I may be falling for. Obviously, you need to fully inspect the cars to really know what’s going on, however from what you can see are any of these vehicles worth taking another step towards? https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1995/SSE-AD-4577525/?Cr=1 After reading the article following the above link, real information on the car is quite limited and for $32,000 I’m not satisfied with what’s up for offer. The dents and scratches are frustrating, the odometer not functioning leaves we wondering if “mileage tinkering” has been attempted to sell the vehicle for a higher price. After reviewing photos of this vehicle I’d imagine is interior has been pretty well maintained given the age of the car. Then again, I plan to change the interior entirely, probably not leather. But I want the car to feel special when you sit inside it, not basic and dull. The engine has not been cleaned, Id suspect issues with rust. “no major modifications” could be close to a stock R-33 encouraging the price of 32,000 although there isn’t enough information to really know. Just an example car, I doubt I’d have $40,000 for the vehicle within 18 months but this is what I’d expect to see when I look at an engine, look how clean it is, If I can manage to save the 40,000 and given the army accommodate for your living needs to some extent this purchase would be extremely tempting. Probably not very smart though, can’t imagine I’d be left with much money afterwards. https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1997/SSE-AD-3945941/?Cr=10 Wow ok here is one that is really catching my eye: https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1996/SSE-AD-4151343/?Cr=12 There is not an awful lot of information of on the car but what a steal for the money. Only 71,000km no scratches and dents from what I can see. I would take a step towards this car to fully inspect for rust and when the opportunity comes and when I am ready to purchase the car and if this particular model is available I’d pay a third-party inspector to complete a full run through. Also posting photos on SAU to hopefully gain from the experience and knowledge all members are willing to share with me. Here is one from gumtree, quite disappointed over the front bumper and only one photo of the engine. 131,465km. he’s just down in Tuggeranong which is pretty close to me. Probably go have a look but he’s only keen for serious buyers. Seems too dodgy, I would not consider purchasing this vehicle. What do you guys think? Cheers Jerry

Importantly, how do you distinguish between good and bad modifications with regards to an R33 GT-R
