Curious, how much would an 88 model cost as an import? (roughly) Cheers.

First of all, wrong forum. For better results post in the 'For Sale' section, as you'll get people that are after cars etc... Once you've done that, it's also a good idea to post pictures up as well, as pictures can tell 1000 words. Just a head up. Good luck with the sale.

First post, 10th thread! Impressive.

..when you walk around the place making turbo flutter sounds wit your mouth...

Well it looks like you've voted the XR6 out already, leaving between an R32 GTR or a GT-T. Before I say anything, most people will agree that the GT-R is the better car, and even though it seems to be 'older' the engine is the same in both R33 and R34 GT-R's. By reading what you've said about the cars, it looks like you're leaning toward the R32, which is a good thing! Make sure you look around for the right car, it will come along, and you'll be thankful. Don't buy the first one you see on the market. Good luck!

Ahhhh this just made my day! Very funny

"He must catch everyone!" Hahaha

Why the GT-V?

Hey all, I'm 17, and just 18 in a few weeks. I've always loved cars, and I can remember reading the 'Drive' section of The Age when I was reading my first words. Growing up with me and my friends that are slightly car obsessed, I can recall driving with my parents, with me and my friends pointing out every single car and make that drove past us - Drove my parents nuts. It was always Holden, Ford, Holden, Ford, Holden etc.. But then at our local supermarket I remember seeing a Black R33, and I was fascinated, so I actually approached the owner of the car just to ask him what it was! (A big thing to do by yourself at 8 years old!). After finding out about 'Japanese car technology', going back through the 'Drive' section of The Age, there was nothing about Nissan Skylines. A few years went by, and as Skylines among Silvia's grew in Playstation games, this only interested me more. I'm totally car obsessed, and I love talking to Japanese car owners about there cars, their pride and joy. It seems that this car culture was great, and along my travels I haven't come across really smug driver yet. You buy these cars with your heart - not with your brain. Yes, I'll be on my red P's, and the car that I was settled on, the Skyline, will now give me as what my family refers them to as 'Jack-Bait'. I'm not some idiot driver, and I'm all for the open day track events, keeping the hoons off the streets. I don't tell anyone this, but I think in this case, to save my ass from ' Just another young hoon who wants to drive a Skyline' comment, I won the 'Victorian young driver of the year' at METEC Driver training centre. I have a passion for these cars, and I'm not a hoon. But in now days, the reputation on Skylines has plummeted, due to some dick heads that think they're FullY H3ct!c, and can own the streets with their car. Who are these people, and why are the media so against imported cars? There are plenty of 'Slammed' Commodores, but the Police and media tend to point the finger at Skylines etc..? Thanks! Jimbo

I love that you have no added gauges on the dash! Awesome car!

That was amazing work - well done! We'd love to hear the roar of those engines too- maybe next time. Again, a great video, thanks for sharing!

I've noticed this car has been on the market for a while now. I'll be looking for a black R33 non-turbo around July sometime, if you still have it then, I'll give you a call (hopefully not, as I'm sure this car is very clean, and should go do a faithful owner very soon). Good luck with the sale.

Hey mate, very interested.. I don't have anything to swap but I can sort something out money wise. Any interior pics? Km's? Where abouts? Do you have the original rims? Cheers

I bet you that there's an iPhone app for this...

More pics?

So if I were to pay for the parts/work needed to be done to get the car in good working order so it could be registered, would you know roughly how much money we're looking at realistically? and some more pics would be great! Thanks.

Is there something I'm missing? + Would it be hard to get a RWC on it since it's not running yet?

How much money are we looking at to get the overheating problem fixed? I may be interested...

Pics? Kms? Manual, Auto? We need more info dude...

Good driver

You probably could, but the saying "You get what you pay for" would probably apply to a Japanese car under 5K...

All your comments are all true, but at the end of the day I will be on my P-Plates, and I don't want to lose my license. So until then, I'm sure 120kW's will be more than enough. There's something about Japanese cars that I love, and I just can't see myself driving a Magnafalcodore..!

I think 'Mighty Car Mods' should replace Top Gear Australia, The Mighty Mod guys are great!

Yes I agree with you; it looks like crap and FWD is a downside. But, it doesn't handle like crap... http://www.autoweb.com.au/cms/A_1781/title...TV/article.html I would have thought that 163kW was pretty good for an N/A, but no, I would never own one..
