Hey all

Im currently selling my S1 R33 GTS-T and am looking for a Series 2 but cant seem to find one privately that i want...

I am now looking at alternatives, such as importing.

I have a few questions...

If i do import, i have chosen Prestige Motorsports...

On their website they say that the price of the car does not include tyres, stamp duty and rego.... would an extra $2000 cover these costs on average?

Also, i am from the country, and rarely travel to Sydney, but last time i was there i seen a lot of car dealerships on Parramatta road with Skylines etc in their yards... what do you guys think of places like this? What sort of prices would i be looking at for a tidy Series 2 GTS-T from one of these dealerships? Any of those places youd like to reccommend? You must understand i cant just pop down there and have a look... but will make the trip if its worth it...

Any help would be much appreciated...

not sure about the dealershios because im not from sydney...but ive just imported a series 2 R33 and tyres and stamp duty can be done for underl $2k...all depends on what tyres you go for, but you'll need brand new tyres for compliance.

rego including stamp duty works out to be about $1000 for me, but thats in Vic...

i belive the 2K would cover those costs aswell. and ive noticed prestige prices seem lower then others (looks dodgy, but i belive its not) i also think if you want to get a car cheaper, get them to find you one threw the auctions and not one in there stock.

im not from sydney but dealerships usual charge anywhere from 2-5k more then what you can get them threw import or private but they are meant to give you the benefit of (usauly detailed) less hassle, almost buy and drive away.

but personal id probs import, then when in the country take it to a VERY GOOD detailers so they make the car look brand new... should do the trick

    • Yep that's a superb price and ther is no way you will over capitalise on you investment.  As to the bracket, again just use the passenger side seat  bracket ( obviously reversed ) as a sample to reshape it and in this case, TIG it back together.
    • Thanks for that.... If only I could do something once and be happy with that, like some people do....
    • I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)
    • Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage
    • Hi. Thanks for the answer. I do not have instagram 😄 I too considering turbo the RB20DE NEO 🙂 But i think i upgrade the gearbox first or at least buy new.
