"Auction grade 4.5 with a B interior (almost unheard of for a vehicle of this age)."

They are becoming collectors item over there.

Is a BIT exy... not too bad. After a major detail it would make more sense. I reckon prestige is more expensive then most though

again, it's not a Passage.

It doesn't have a Passage interior.

It doesn't have Passage badging.

All Passages are 4 door pillarless, but not all 4 door pillarless are Passages. :(

I dunno how you can say that Sky, with so much conviction.

I have only seen 3 or 4 Passage GT's, but all have been different, different interiors, some had the rear wing and some didn't, some were badged and some weren't, all had different wheels, 1 had a body kit and the others didn't.

How would you know for sure?????????

The description says it's a coupe and it clearly isn't, so how come your such the veritable expert and all from a picture or 2.

Still though, at the end of the day it's a 4 door R31 red top RB20DET and all the reports I have read, say the same thing, they run out of puff around 5000 so they're not as punchy as you might think.

Another thing with either of the 4 door R3's, if your over about 5' 8" tall, your head & shoulder's are going to be in the middle of the back door glass, not a great place to be sitting in my opinion.

If I was buying any R3 series, a coupe is the only way to go and they can be bought for this sort of money, here in Oz landed and complied and with rego.

Cheers, D

That's probably because like some of the posters above, you're assuming that if it's a 4 door import, it's a Passage.

It's badged as a GTS.

It doesn't have the plush velour interior.

The front seats are the wrong shape, and also the wrong colour, and the wrong fabric... Passage simply didn't have an interior that looks like that, and iirc the Passage has a centre arm rest in the rear (as per Ti) which is also absent.

Steering wheel is not an original Passage item.

..... all of the above could have been changed by a previous owner, but it's not very likely.

It would be like buying a GTR and removing everything that makes it a GTR, then selling it as a GTS.

the s1&2 passages are the same with the blue interior like mine, s3 is different n doesnt have the velour seats, altho some people put the blueys back in their s3

that passage doesnt have the GT tail lights, rather has the boring 4 door ones

also that passage doesnt have cruise control where i thought that came standard?

also no tape stacker? wtf :P

in my opinion i think this car is a bit of a mixo

a mix of this a mix of that

but i wouldnt pay that. i paid 1200 for my passage which needed a small amount of work done

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
