  1. forgot to say im in Melbourne, and there is 2 brand new tyres, and 2 almost new
  2. I've got these, they are genuine volk racing TE37's 17", have just been reworked & resprayed, id prob accept $1800 for the set. PM me if you're interested.
  3. Hi, I am selling my R33 & have had some interest in a buyer without the wheels. So if someone is interested in buying the wheels separately, I am happy to sell them. NOTE: I will only be selling the wheels if I have someone commit to buy the car without the wheels. The wheels are GENUINE Volk Racing TE-37's They are like BRAND NEW condition, as I have literally just had them machined & resprayed & new volk decals applied to them. No scratches or dents whatsoever - they look fantastic. Here are the specs of the wheels: Date: 1999.10.5 VR TE37C 17x7.5 JJ PCD: 114.3 OF +30 5H WH Rears: Date: 1998.6.2 VR TE37X Size 17x8.5 JJ PCD 114.3 OF +40 5H WH Weight 6.9kg They also have brand new tyres on the rears, and almost new on the fronts. The wheels: And what they look like on my white R33: I'm after $2,500 for them & am located in Croydon, VIC (Melbourne eastern suburbs) Thanks for looking! Davin Mobile 0407 705 085
  4. Hi, I'm regretfully selling my skyline if anyone is interested: 1997 R33 GTS-T Series 2 (white) - Manual transmission - 161,000 genuine km's - 17" Genuine VOLK Racing TE-37 wheels in BRAND NEW CONDITION. These have just been machined & resprayed so there is not a scratch on them & are a real head turner. You won't find a set of these in better condition. - Three point immobiliser & Alarm system worth approx $2K - Key-less entry fitted. - Side-skirts and rear aprons. - Brand new tyres on rear & almost new on the front. - Great condition inside & out. - Drives great. - Only ever had 1 Australian owner since it was imported in 2005. - It will come with a roadworthy certificate. - Registered until March 2013. Almost everything on the car is stock standard. It has never been modified besides the wheels & skirts. Ideal for someone who want just a stock standard series 2 themselves that has never been thrashed, or for someone who wants to go and make their own modifications to. Price: $12,500 Location: Croydon, VIC (Melbourne eastern suburbs) Call or text me on 0407 705 085 for any questions or if you would like to inspect the car. Thanks for looking. Davin
  5. Thanks mate, that is indeed helpful. Will give it a go, and let you know if i need to buy some new ones off ya.
  6. Hi Paul, you might not necessarily be the best person to ask as you are selling the product , but i was wondering what are the symptoms of needing the coils replaced? My 97 R33 GTS-T in certain situations is having a problem with jerky acceleration. I particularly notice it in 3rd gear going up a hill about 55-60km/h and trying to gently accelerate. Sorta feels like the car is pulling back if that makes sense. My mechanic said he suspects the coils, as they have done a number of other things to try and fix it, with it only partly improving. Appreciate your thoughts? Thanks
  7. Thanks, appreciate that. They said that they have already cleaned the AAC valve previously thinking that was the cause of the idling problem too, but it doesnt appeared to have fixed it. He said they are a bit stumped over the cause of that. The jerky acceleration problem, he seems to think it could be the coils causing the problem, but said they are pretty expensive to replace. I'll see what they say when i pick it up tonight, but if no luck i might take you up on your offer Plattsy. Saturday might actually work for me after all.
  8. Geez thanks plattsy, that's mighty generous of you. I have the car booked in Friday for something else, so was going to get them to check out the above suggestions then. So I'll know by Friday night if it's still got problems or not. Saturday is a no go, but possibly Sunday if that suited you?
  9. Thanks Plattsy - it's a manual.
  10. Thanks Hadouken. It's all standard, no mods at all.
  11. Hi guys, First off let me say, i really dont know much about engines, parts, etc. I just love skylines, so forgive my lack of education from here on in... I have had a problem going on for months now that still is not fixed, and am hoping someone could offer some suggestions. Basically it is running badly, but not all the time. Sometimes its far worse than other times. And then other times it seems completely fine. When i squeeze the accelerator gently (like you would for normal everyday driving), it feels jerky, not at all smooth like it always used to be. And at its worse even feels like the car is pulling back. If i accelerate harder it doesnt really seem to be a problem. I notice the problem most when im driving up hill around 55-60km/h in 3rd gear. Also when I pull up at lights for a while, sometimes it starts idling really badly, goes down and up progressively worse, and if i dont give it a little gas, it will stall. I *think* this seems to be worse if i have the air con on, but im not sure if this is co-incidence or not. It starts up without a problem, but i notice, if i try to move off too soon, sometimes it pulls back (sorta feels like a fuel problem). Not too worried about this, as if i start it up and wait a few seconds before moving off its fine. I just mention as its another symptom that didn't used to happen, and i suspect is related. I have had the fuel pump replaced maybe 2 years ago now. And recently had the fuel regulator (im pretty sure thats what it was) replaced when i had it serviced, as the mechanic suspected it was the problem. Although the car improved a lot, and it wasnt nearly as bad as it was, the problem still happens. Could have been to do with the rest of their servicing. Spark plugs have been replaced regularly, as with any other normal maintenance that goes with services. I found another thread where someone was complaining of similar issues, and some other suggested it was the Air Flow meter. Is that a possibility for my symptoms? Any help & advice i can pass on to the mechanic would be GREATLY appreciated. Or any places around melbourne (pref eastern suburbs) that people can suggest who deal with imports / skylines who might have a better idea would also appreciated. Thanks
