Help In Picking A Car (where And Which One)

[WogsRus]

Ok So hi all

New to here. So i haven't actually got a skyline as yet, but i want to get one.

I have a family so i am looking at a R33 GTST 4 door. This way i can keep the wife happy aswell.

I have been looking round and found some on the net, that are good and fairly cheep, unfortunatly 99% are automatics. I have found a car place in Vic, i'm form Tasie, that sells these in great nick for bugga all, they have a R33 with 44000 kms auto for $9900. And my mate had a look it's in great nick. They have other too stage 2 ect. The car place is called "Power Rd Car Sale" 9 pucket rd Vic, look them up on carpoint.com.au.

My qestion is do i buy an Auto, prefer manual but can't find one, spend lets say max $11000 on the car, and then spend another 4 grand worth of mods to make it a littel quiker ect.

OR do i pay $15000 and get a R33 GTST-R IMPUL version. I can get these from Jappan for arroudn the $14-15k price, but that measn i would have to leave the car standard for a while.

Which one series one series 2, to mady dam choices>>>>>

Also can somone recomend where i should look to find one. i have looked on the net but i mean places like "imports101: in Perth or Kamikazie Motor. Is it better gettign a car here or getting one form Japan imported through a place. HEEELLPPPPPP

What should i do and which way is a better way to go. Also if anyone has a 4 door for sale that they want to get rid of in the next 4 months let me know.

ps my spelling sux so sorry.

You could buy an auto and do a manual conversion.

The Impul version is HOT. It will retain its value very well compared to other R33 sedans due to its rarity (and natural good looks).

To make it quicker, you don't need to spend as much as $4000. Simply turning up the boost using a $22 valve will give you a noticeable power increase.

The advantage with Series 2 models is that they are newer and offer additional safety (something you may be concerned with since you have a family) in the drivers and passenger airbags.

If you import it will generally be cheaper but disadvantages are you can't see the car in person and also you will have to wait a few months for the car.

I just bought a R33 II Coupe, auto. The car is in great condition, and as much as I am enjoying auto, I can always convert it to manual later on...

And Ive been to Power Road... they got some nice cars but also some a bit worn... Id suggest a check up before commiting.

[WogsRus]

yeah i see what your saying. I think i might just try and find the best value for money R33 sedan and do what i like with the money i have.

Does anyone know if the IMPUL version runs stock boos and turbo, i have no idea what the spec differences are?

[WogsRus]

WHo do you guys recomend as an import place? I have heard of kamikazie and imports101. Can somone sugest a good a reputable importer?

Also does anyone know what type of boost does the impul version r33 run? is it stock or higher. They are specked at running 206kW.

Alos what is standard on these?

Any forther advice. What do you guys thing i can get for arround $12000 in a 4 door?

[Wink]

You can also try J-Spec for importing.

DONT BUY A FOUR DOOR!!!!! UGLY!

Im a family man myself and bought my R33 GTST coupe not long ago and theres plenty of room in the back for the kids, even comfortable for three mates surprisingly and when driving by yourself you'll be glad you bought the coupe

at the top of the forum theres sponsors adds, some for import co's just click on one when it comes up

[WogsRus]

Yeha but i like the conviniance of four doors, plus i think the IMPUL version looks hot. I don't mind the four door version, every tom dick and harry have a two door, no offence, so a 4 door is a bit more unique.

[Kikuchi]

if you like the 4 door go for it. ive seen many 2 doors and 4 doors and both look hot. just depends what people do to the cars.

i personally would get a 2 door jsut because i dont want to be asked by friends to take em around... petrol is a killer now adays. and ive got my parents car to drive if i want to take friends. a dam huge 8 seater tarago. free petrol.

dont laugh... im a yr 12 student... and a poor one aswell

[Modena]

Is it just me or does R33 Series II coupes esp in Silver resemble R34 GTT coupes?? I looked at my car yesterday and I was like hmmm... hot

[WogsRus]

Well ok so i have drivven some 2 door ones, and i hoocked. I am getting a 2 door.

SO has anyone got a 2 door for sale. also i know Auto is not the best but i can get this one.

http://www.carpoint.com.au/used-car/NISSAN...ia/1675404.aspx

Looks good, very cheap too... they normally sell these for around 16 grand... Id inspect the car first though...

And autos are great... easy to launch and very easy to live with esp in bad traffic.

PS good on ya for choosing coupe...

yeah the 2 door ones certainly have an appeal about them. YEHHAAA.

I don't want to spend too much money as i want to some work done to the car ASAP.

[Mid_Nite_R33]

What about spending a little more and getting an R34 4 door, they can look hot az, I think they also come with tiptronic transmission so would be a lot more fun than just auto....

If you go for R33 4 door get the latest model you can as it will hold value better and its just better having a late model of any car...

good luck !

I think he wasnt prepared to pay more than 18 K for his car... so no turbo in R34.

[Mid_Nite_R33]

If he saves for a little more, he could find a turbo R34 sedan under 20k as these are not very popular compared to the coupes.... I'd say it'd be worth it

If you look hard you never know....

[WogsRus]

well i know i might be the only one but i LOVE the R33 shape, always have. and yeah not really interested in spending more the 15k all up.

So anyone have any good dealers or friends that have one for sale???

[fEkuaR]

ur certainly not the only one that loves the r33 shape haha.

[Modena]

ur certainly not the only one that loves the r33 shape haha.

exactly...

Hi WogsRus

Ive had a 4dr r33 1995 for the past 3 yrs now. I love the car and the car has stuck it out with me throught a lot. All ive done is put mags on it and lowered it and because its slightly longer than the coupe the car looks awesome.

It looks stock and till turns heads so uve got a thumbs up from me to buy a 4dr.
