Ultimately finding a decent Skyline isnt gonna be cheap and can be a fairly long process with lots of homework involved. for an extra 5k youre more likely to end up with a better car overall. And you wont get a decent GT-T for much less than 20. I would consult redbook on this one, and look further than the two cars youre looking at. Perhaps worth a look at some reputable dealers or something similar to get a better idea? And i mean reputable...cuz there are some real crooks out there.

I haven't had an engine transplanted, i have a thing for originals - but my advise to you is this. If youe unsure, give their office a call, ask the question. They'll soon tell you if you need to bring it in or not. I believe your insurance company will definitely want to know, however - as slways, better safe than sorry.

I also would...but I only have the RB26DETT...not N1. sorry.

ahahahahahaha. hahahaha... don't think hes gonna fall for that somehow. S3 headlights are f'in sexy...i love em. Have you tried sourcing the part elsewhere?

Bought the car from JapCars in Fawkner about a week ago. Under the impression it wasn't landed till maybe a couple months ago... but yeah. Lol i love the car...its amazing. just this one tiny niggly problem that ruins it for me =( Getting it fixed by the boys at the dealership on Monday though, so should be fine.

And being front wheel drive isnt necessarily in their favour either, is it?

the blue is the build plate isnt it? that shouldnt ever be removed... as per the 'new to skylines' thread stickied in this forum. I know mines still got the blue build plate but also has a sticker in the passenger side door, when opened, in pink, saying its compliant. other than that i havent really paid all that much attention to other plates and such...so im not probably much help. But make sure every decision you make in buying a GTR is thought through. you dont wanna buy a lemon just cuz it was the prettiest one.

I have one, since ours are the same year...dunno bout the 32s and such. Hazard lights and rear demister are not even dimly backlit. So its like groping in the dark at night and hoping you hit the right one.

im happy for you =D and id like to believe that was true...hopefully after all the fuelling gear is looked at i wont have a problem with the GTR...it gets nothing but the best from me...so heres hoping hey?

mmm...my turn. 1997 R33 GT-R (Series 3) -Cons: -After buying the car a week ago the fuel pump already needs replacing - thank god for warranty. -Low front bar makes parking/driving up and down most standard driveways -Shoddy roads in my suburb make my suspension emo. -Idiots in commodores always trying to race it from the lights. -Gearshifts jerky of a cold morning until engine warms up completely. Everything else is fine. Lovez my GT-R.

Hey, Nice GT-R you have there... like boiracer...I couldn't justify the loan I'd have to take out on an R34 GTR, let alone a VSpecII... So I settled for a series 3 R33 GTR =D Welcome. I hope your GTR brings you nothing but joy...and love...and joyness...

Oh thank god... I just picked up my R33 Series 3 GTR about 5 days ago and she does this at least once every few days. Had no issues yesterday but driving home from work today, she died on me twice as the power just drained...ks dropped off, boost gauge needle went nuts, revs dropped to well below 1000 and then just died altogether. i was able to keep it alive for most of the drive by keeping the foot down and revving higher than i usually would, but this didnt always work. Luckily its under warranty for the time being...but i live about 90 mins from where i bought the car. so...this is a pain. do we have a definite cause - the afm or fuel pump - or is it a random thing?

This will probably not be as helpful to you as the posts made by the other guys - given that they own 32 GTRs and i kinda...don't =b But my R33 GTR is much the same. Getting more mileage out of the petrol now I've switched to Ultimate, but on the V-Power it averaged...oh...bout 18L/100. Nothing more fun to drive though. worth every cent i spend on fuel and upkeep.

Would be a good assumption that the 34 is only a GT for that price. If its really a GT-T...I'd be very, very wary. I went through the same choice not too long back...oh the 33, i love the 33...but the 34 is newer...less ks...that sort of thing. So what i did? I bought a Series 3 R33 GT-R. =D The guys are right though - was the same with me and my GT-R...i walked onto the lot, saw it there, went for a ride and just had to have it. You will know when you find the right one.

All good figured it out.

Hi guys. This may seem an embarrassing ask...and trust me it is lol =D I've just bought myself an R33 GTR...Series 3 (1997). Now while ive managed to work out most of the switches and such inside the car, im still unsure as to where the switch to turn the rear wiper on is? and how to work the climate control panel (above the head unit) with any real kind of confidence. All help is appreciated guys =D Thanks.

pics please.
