Possible?

[AMS]

disel turbos are not banned i thought

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Sorry your right - Didnt consider them

[Guest Xinhua]

Ok it's not possible to import one a r32 gts25 either...i got the following message from geoff

Hi Alex,

There is often confusion about the naming and virtually no one ever asks about the non turbo.

The non turbo is not eligible for import under SEVS, see: http://rvcs-prodweb.dot.gov.au/sevs/009-01.htm

They are not that uncommon in Japan however the reason they are rare in Aust. is that for very little more you can import a turbo, so very few people ever bother with them.

We could have sourced one for you last year until the 15 year ended, but now unfortunately you are a little late.

Regards

Geoff

Hey mate, I'd say this is to as good as you're going to get...

i luv it

[disturb3d]

hey man,

the question is are you prepared to insure the car? im assuming it may be quite expensive to insure especially being classified as a high performace vehicle and being on your p's.

[Guest Xinhua]

it's a non turbo.. how high caan it be? thanks for the find ignuz... champion

I found my R33 N/A On Carsales. Added the bloke to MSN talked for nights upon nights, flew to Victoria and got her. (I Live in NSW Obviously, Central Coast).

As for your other question "It's a non turbo, how high can it be?"

Pretty high is the answer. I pay $850 i think (or close enough to) for 3rd party with theft and fire for $5k. (With JustCars)

I'm 16 at the moment, 17 in 1 month and 1 day (but who's counting)

At this moment aswell I have only been stared at by the officers of the law. I think they are just thinking "what the?" with the L plates on it.

If you're only after looks and sound, by all means, get the Non Turbo.

The link suggested by ignuz ( http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/...icle_id=2831001 ) has potential, and could be good for what you are looking for.

I'm not 100% on that price tag though. My Non-Turbo R33 Series 1 (1993) with 400R Front, Veilside Skirts & Rear Pods. 15" Sub, Pioneer Headunit, Sony Xplod 6x9's and Alpine Speakers in the front doors, was $11k.

It was bought fully done, bodykit, sound system, interior, mags (18"), exhaust and everything..

& A couple of weeks ago my dad got his Series 2 GTS25T For $13,000.

They're just average prices on what you are looking for mate, but best of luck with whatever you choose.

[Guest Xinhua]

wow br3tt i appreciate all the research you've done... I'm looking to inspect the car sometime next week...

haha yeah, I know what you mean with the whole skyline and L plates, it's funny... cept i got pulled over with my dad. (trying to defect exhaust)

anyways tomorrow morning i'm heading down to Blacktown auto salvage see what i can pickup.. might be looking to fix a damaged one and work on it...

who knows... appreciate all the effort everyone is giving.. thanks.

EDIT:

What are your thoughts on this car from carsales.com.au

All i need now is the Type m skirts and rear pod... Also some kind of audio...

Should be pretty neat and insurance won't kill me 2 much i hope

MAte,

the two top links are R33 GTS, not bad looking, with a few mods.

The last link is one of an R34 GT, looks pretty schmicko, with sunroof and dished wheels.

To give you an estimate of how much it would cost to insure, I was quoted 2,300 for an R33 turbo. But ended up getting an R34 turbo, where full comprehensive insurance costs $1800 from just cars. This is coming from some one that has there gold license.... so from there i think you can kinda derive a ball park figure for the GTS or GT.

What you can do is when i was younger, i owned a 200sx series 2 s14, i couldn't afford insurance, 23 at the time, so i just quick tracked it, kinda risky but adds abit of value when u sell it

Anyways good luck with the hunt.

I'm currently 16 with a turbo Stagea. I pay $448 for 3rd Party Insurance (no fire and theft) Which is still a heap in my opinion...

I have been pulled over about 12 times since I bought the car, cops have no idea what it is though...

But seriously, look around for a R32GTS25 or whatever they are called... For a good price that is!

Dont settle for a car just because you become sick of waiting for the one

GL mate, keep us posted

[br3tt]

It honestly depends what you are willing to spend man.

The link you posted ( http://carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!c...rch_distance=25 ) Could be done up to how you want it, but it's gonna come at that price ofcoarse.

If you have $9k or whatever (offer $8,500) and have the money to do what you want (exhaust/mags blah blah) then do it.

If you are rich, get the R34 disturb3d linked:

http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/...rch_distance=25

And slam it

It's your call.

Did you end up getting that one?

I was looking at that one... Neat little beast.

Exactly what I'm looking for, but it's gone now!

Good luck with what you find

[Guest Xinhua]

Yeah shit happens.. i still get to go for that other one, i'll let you know how she goes..

[br3tt]

Yeah can't blame you with the R34, especially for a first car man.

R32 will do you nicely though, best luck and all the best with the outcome.

[Guest Xinhua]

Hey guys, just a bid of updates...

The 9000 r32 was inspected and was totally crap.. engine was playing up and big dents etc... although it's come to my attention that there is no possible way or atleast very hard to get a GTS25 i've decided to go with buying any r32 without an engine... probably cost me around 5ish.. or less... and put a 33 Non turbo engine in... will hopefully add around to 10grand and will be great..

I've also got a question to ask you guys. I live in NSW but my brother lives in the ACT. Is it possible that i write my address to live in ACT, buy and register a turbo etc there.. then just come and live here etc? if a cop pulls me over and says why you got a turbo, i say that i live in the act the laws allow?

thanks guys

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Will you be driving on an ACT license or a NSW one? Because that's what matters, not the location of registration. The car isn't illegal in NSW, the driver is.

Of course, if the cops catch you not living in the ACT for more than x months (I don't know how long it is, but 3-6 months I'd say) then you'll get busted anyway, as you're required to re-register and re-license yourself if you live in that state or territory for that long.

It might not happen that often, but if the cops want to bust you they will call up. A friend from another forum had a WA license and plates on his car, and the cops in Qld did him for not re-registering. They made a shitload of calls, and waited half an hour, to find out the guy had been living in Qld for longer than the period permitted.

Damnit.. the only true way to drive a turbo'd car is to get and exemption.. thats gonna suck, theres no reason to have a turbo'd skyline

[ignuz]

^^

Lol yea I was trying to think of excuses..

But meh, it will be so very sweet when I do get a turbo, in the coming years

Im leaning towards a gunmetal grey r33 turbo.. as i already own a gunmetal grey r33. Sure I prefer r32's... but, I'd love to try and make a really sexy and though looking r33.. Stand out from the crowd

[MR R33]

good idea alex, you can get a r33 NA half cut under $1500. then you can sell or you rb20 stuff, it all works out, just find a mechanic that you can trust and keep him so he knows all about your car.

[Guest Xinhua]

Yeah dave, I'll have to find out where i can get some 32s with engines and buy a halfcut... works out very well and cheap... organise a day so we can go.. Btw hows first day of your new business?
