where abouts is the car located? can u send me mobile contact. cheers

hey mate any idea when timing belts etc were replaced? Also any thing else would need doing to car. The small things like air con, electronics etc. cheers

I dont want to stick with the corolla man hence the question. Anyway i am willing to look into a turbo skyline but after research. Thats why it was never really considered. I would rather research and ask questions than buy a turbo skyline and decide to sell it. I wouldn't mind a non turbo skyline. The extractors etc wouldn't be so i can beat a GTR etc at the lights. I just want the nice sound and other things.

Hehehhe damn my bad. I was gonna say what revs does the Turbo kick in.

Nice fuel consumption on your car mate. Every time i see this i think i should get a turbo skyline. Its just that this cars take 98octane so keep thinking at the back of my mind it may cost a bit to drive around. He said about 15litres but he does have extra boost (or some word he used) and different fuel pumps etc and computer. Anyway i am really going to look into the Skyline turbos. 12litres doesnt sound too bad. Any idea what revs the RPM kicks in. Something to consider in stop go driving.

Thanks for your responses guys. I was gonna get a WRX but after driving a non turbo skyline i liked the space in the car and although it was 2 door, the rear seats had ample room. Iam now really thinking of a Skyline non turbo, getting extractors and cold air intake etc. I know its not going to be a WRX but i love the idea of rear wheel drive. I have a neighbor who has a R32 Skyline turbo and he says he averages 15 liters per 100km. He pretty much drives the same route as me etc so not really interested in a turbo skyline. Plus a non turbo skyline is cheaper to buy and insure than a WRX. Only probs i can see is with access to spare parts etc.

+1. Make sure the mrs is there with you.

Wow thats a nice deal. I am going to give him a visit this week now as well. Are appointments necessary?

Hey Mate, the spoiler doesnt look like a standard. Dont think the N/A versions came with a spoiler. Also when was the major service done? All belts, plugs replaced. If not that you will not get the price you are after.

Its really tempting mate. By the way whats the shift kit? Is it the same as trip tronic? Also if converted to manual, would it cause any probs with engine later on or anything. can a 6 speed be linked with this? Still works out cheaper to buy this car and convert to manual. Selling my car next monday (fingers crossed, finance pending) so may thing about this.

Wow, thats a good looking car. I would give u the money right now but its an auto. Can it be converted to manual? Love the seats and all accessories. Nice price. should sell.

Thanks guys, About the brake caliper paint i found a DIY on this site. Got to find a weekend to do it and get drunk while painting it. 1)I went to a dealer today and talked to 2 car owners from Car Sales and they are running either 95 Octane or 91. I thought only 98 could be run on this cars. 2)Some guy has short throw shift gear in his car. what does this do and am i able to remove it. 3)I saw 3 cars in total so far and one had Maxxis tyres and one Bob Jane Performance tyres. They any good or will i have to change straight away. cheers

Hi guys, i am getting a R33/34(prefer34) NA RB25DE Skyline. I am 24 so turbo rule doesn't apply to me. i want something cheaper to run (than a turbo) but with descent performance and handling compared to Falcon and Commodores. First thing i will do is get good rubber if not there already. 1)Am i able to rev the engine to say 5000revs a few times a week without harming engine. (Will get services done every 5000km etc) 2)Looking for some upgrades when I get the car. How much would better suspension set me back. 3)Would i get any extra KW aftergetting extractors and Exaust installed. How much will i be looking to spend. 4)How hard is it to find parts for this car e.g. timing belts, brake pads etc And my last question may sound very supid, dumb, childish and idiotic but please bare with me (you can have a laugh) I love the idea of seeing those red brake caliper on cars that can be seen through the alloy wheels, you know like the Brembo ones. Is there anything you can get to make that effect happen. Seen most R33/34's have the Black Nissan caliper. thanks guys.

Hi guys I have seen a few 1996 -97 NISSAN SKYLINE ECR33 SERIES II GTS going for just under $10k They have all done roughly 85k-105k km. 1)How much do you guys think it need to set aside for major service and what would need being done (All belts i guess) 2)What is a short throw shift kit (Anything to do with short shifting setup, should i stay away from it?) 3)Since i will be well under budget, how much would it roughly cost to do exausts and if they are worth doing it in a NA R33. thanks guys

Thanks for your reply, my budget is $15,000 max. Looking at some ads on CarSales last night, i saw a few 96-97 NISSAN SKYLINE R33 GTS they look very nice indeed. They are well priced as well. You got how many KW they got and a rough 0-100 time. (just curious thats all)

Sorry may sound a bit dumb, but is it a 60 or 70Litre tank. I am confused with all these imports and fuel tanks. Yeah thats why i am looking for NA 34 but need help in looking up models. Open for both 2 and 4 door. I love the rexys but skylines look more comfortable and descent power for NA versions. I think they are over rated as well but nice car. I love the WRX but would go with the newer Evos. They look better, esp hate the latest WRX.

Alright guys firstly into, i am new here thou long time lurker. Am 24 so can drive turbo. wohoo. Currently drive a Corolla. A friend was going to sell his MY99 WRX Manual and i gave him $200 deposit. 2 wks later it was stolen and damaged a bit. He got paid out by insurance (or part something or rather( and he is selling it as it is. I dont want it anymore. Now that i am back in the market for a second hand car, my love for skylines has been giving me sleepless nights. Ok so now i am after a non-turbo R34. I know the WRX would do about 11litres/100km on mixed driving so i am hoping the na version of the Skylines would do the same. Can anyone confirm. I have been getting mixed info on the net. I would love to get the Turbo version of Skyline but i think it would drink considerably more than the WRX so the normal Skyline will have to do. Also what versions (R34 Manual) should i be looking at on the net. (I am open to both 2 door and 4 door). All i have found is: R34 25GT May also be open to the Later R33 models. Also anyone can provide Fuel consumption for the NA skylines. Thanks guys
