Morning everyone I have been looking around on carsales.com.au for R33 GTR's over the last few days. I have checked all states for price differences etc etc. Now there are only a few for sale in WA and they are $27K+. In the Eastern States, prices range from the high teens through to the mid twenties for an R33 GTR, Series 1/2/3, low & high km, molested or not. Now, I've never owned a GTR, however I have done a lot of reading about the mechanical components and am no stranger to the problems that can occur with the RB26 motors etc. I'm just after some advice as to whether i would be better off spending $26-$27K in WA for a GTR that is already here and registered etc or whether i should go interstate? I've never brought a vehicle interstate so I would be extremely careful. THIS R33 GTR is in Perth and has been for sale for the last ~14months. I looked at the car and drive it this time last year; the body work is immaculate, it drives very smoothly and the engine does not make any unusual noises. Oil pressure seems to be fine. Modifications on this 96 R33 are limited to a cat-back exhaust, intake, aftermarket coilpacks and x-drilled rotors. The guy that owns it is in his mid-late 50's; he told he purchased the GTR from a friend in SA and has never experienced any major issues with the vehicle. In the comments, the owner advises a new tailshaft center bearing assembly has been installed. Why would this have been done (from driving the car hard, general wear & tear??). Not sure why it has not sold as of yet? If I were to consider buying it, I would put the vehicle on hoist to check it out. Would it be worth getting a compression test done on the motor? THIS R33 GTR is at a dealer in Victoria. Comments say just imported with 76,000kms. Now it's only $22K. Would it be worth taking the risk, flying over the Vic for the day, seeing the car and buying it/trucking it to WA? Thank you in advance for any information/advice offered. Cheers, Jace. Mods please move to correct section if need be.

i would assume he is 17 or 18 going by the "93" in his username....

Mmmm might give it a try

So do you guys think it will be quite a bit cheaper to import say and R34 GTR now? I would assume it would be very very difficult to import anything from Japan at the moment as it wouldn't be strange if the Japanese government has seized control of almost every major form on transportation to assist in the rebuilding of their country/affected areas. Has anyone seen a change in the prices of importing GTR's from Japan?

My brother brought crysis 2 and single player looks frickin awesome. Would i be able to install on my pc with his cd key etc just to play single player?

really enjoying levelling my rogue at the moment. level 26, where can i go to quest? Thousand Needles??

Danny, have you started a build thread for it? Would love to see the beast when it's done

This thread is kind of dead. Not enough WoW players on this forum. Got my rogue to level 25 now. Topping dps in every random dungeon. Once i get him to 85, i'll level my hunter Anyone getting into any raiding? Not many pug raids going on, and raid times in my guild are a bit difficult for me to get to. Item level 350 and still not properly high enough.

damn you so becuase my gfx card is a "4" series i wont run direct x 11......

Just ran "dxdiag", and my system is runnign Direct X 11. My gfx card is a Gigabyte HD 4870.

ahh ok. i can upgrade to a newer series gigabyte graphics card fairly cheap though!

I'm pretty sure my graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 4850. It seems to perform very well, and when i had XP and the Catalyst Control Centre installed, i overclocked it and it still ran fine and didnt overheat etc

Hey guys, I just installed a genuine copy of Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium. I am not sure if my operating system is now running Direct X 11. How can I tell or where do I search in Windows 7 to find if it is? My PC specs are as follows (if its of any importance) - Intel Quad Core 3.2ghz 4.0gb 1333mhz ram (yes I know that's sh!t, i'm upgrading to 12gb 2000mhz soon!) Gigabyte 1gb graphics card (can't remember the exact model name, paid about $300 for it just over 12months ago) Asus mother-board (once again can't remember specs etc) My PC runs games such a COD: Black Cocks & Battlefield: Bad Company 2 one maximum graphics and runs both of them smooooooooth as silk, both in singleplayer & multiplayer. WoW runs perfectly smooth, you get the idea.

Good luck finding the real deal. A total of 1,945 PGC and KPGC10 Skyline/GT-Rs were produced.And only sold within the JDM. From memory, there were only something like 500 real KPGC10 GTR's ever made.

Im pretty sure those twin turbo Lambos are from Underground Racing or the Twins Turbo Crew. Pretty sure it's Underground Racing and they compete in the Texas Mile.

0.82 rear housing is perfect if you are after 450rwhp+

Mmmm yes, the new Deus Ex comes out soon. Will be looking forward to that, as the original Deus Ex is f**king epic.

He drove it daily for 1.5years, then sold it to a guy in QLD who used it as a track car and the car was sold about 2years ago with the same engine etc etc. The whole engine is still fine, hasn't blow up after 6years of daily abuse

Alliance is full of 10year olds who have sex with your mum. No, really, it is. Horde is just better overall, heaps more raiding/pvp guilds. If you want a cool class, start a warrior. Really easy to level and once you hit level 15 and can use the random dungeon finder. I leveled my warrior as fury up until 58, tanking every single random dungeon. I was simply in defensive stance with a shield and always held aggro. Once I hit Outlands then i purchased duel-spec and now prot is my main spec. Fury warriors are really fun to play and sooo easy to level, same thing with warlocks. I'm on Thaurissan.

[quote name=ClutchBurndout-' timestamp='1299621130' post='5705371] 12mil registered over time, not currently playing... 2 totally different things. ofcourse its going to be a high number, the game has been out a long time. for all we know 11.5mil of that number dont play anymore. I wouldn't hestiate to say that at least 6million of the 12million CURRENTLY registered are still playing on a regular basis.

You are alliance?! You are fail! Item Level on my prot warrior is now 348. Finding it quite hard to gear up and get above 352 so i can start raids =\

Yeah a gt35r is pretty much the biggest low-mount you can go without any serious mods. My bro's r33 had one as a low-mount with a genuine hks exhaust mani. His car made just under 500rwhp, standard internals, just bolt-ons and tuning.

Sweeeeeet. I loved the first three Serious Same Games (The First Encounter, The Second Encounter and Serious Sam 2). This should be an awesome game

Sorry mate meant to put the RB has an alloy head. What about the RB26's - are they cast iron aswell? I honestly thought they were alloy....

WoW is the best Role Playing Game there is. 12million registered players around the world agree and every RPG competitor that has been released has died in the arse. WoW will still be going strong for AT LEAST the next 5years if not 10.
