I'm going to be honest here with the R33, not because it had crossed my mind to buy, but Ive looked at a few now.

My friend bought his 94 that has been repainted in GTR purple, 18's, adjustable teins, full exhaust, big FMIC, 400r body kit and a mild sound system for $8500 with roughly 115,000 - 120,00kays. To date it's only needed a turbo to manifold gasket.

I'm going to look at a forced sale R33 maybe next week, he wants $8300, but I know I can get it for $7k. Although it needs paint in a few area's.

I think your R33 to sell is a $9,000 - $10k car. I think it'll be hard pressed to get much more. I've seen a few SII's come up for low teens now..

Your R32 on the other hand.

My mate paid $18k for JapTaxis built rb26/R32 gtst. And your car has ALOT more on it in terms of a total package. I can buy my old R32 back for $23k, so anything in the middle of those two price's.

I'll give you head if Andy even gets a phone call at $14k.

see andy, ur gonna get reamed sooooo bad if u sell the 32 :worship:

Anything thats:

A) a "Japanese" import

and

B) Turbo

Isn't moving. Look at the top two used car sites, carpoint and car sales. Check the when listed dates at the higher priced cars and check the newer when listed dates of other just listed cars.. What do you notice? Anyone trying to sell a car now has a much lower a price

$7k wtf?

Buy it. You aren't going to buy a car to make money from it but in 2-3 years time you can bet your arse you'll still get $7k for it if you keep it in good nick.

$14k is a fair price for a virtually stock 33. I can get them in the country for 11-12. The market up here is of no importance to the market down south. And there is always going to be P platers wanting them in a few years.

Every car I have owned and bought was to make money on, which I did with the exception to my quick R32, my Lexus and my BMW. I had to stop buying imports to profit from when bought the quick R32, as the profit in it just wasn’t enough.

I’m not saying $14k isn’t a fair price, I’m just saying it wont sell, or not quick anyway. The market for R33’s is crap at the best of times; the people who do want them have a surplus amount to choose from and can realistically be picky with price and car.

Morgs on here is only asking around $12k - $13k from memory for his wife’s R33, which would have to be one of the cleanest I can find for sale.

cool I was thinking 10-11k for the 33 and 20k for the R32 so good to see my idea is about the right price

My other option is to put a stock rb25 in it and sell the other engine then sell the car, not sure what would get me more money

And as for getting reamed I have been getting reamed every day by the car so who gies a f**k lol

    • Define "Nissan big brakes". You just mean standard R34 4 pots? And...it's not even the offset you need to worry about. It's really a detail of how much clearance there is between the caliper and the back of the spoke/face, which is affected more by the design of the spoke than it is by the offset. If you think about it....take any wheel, say a 19x8 that does fit and clears the caliper. Then add or subtract an inch of wheel on the outside, without changing anything else. You have changed the offset by half an inch, but not changed the clearance situation at all. Same for if you add or subtract an inch from the inside edge. The way for you to work this out is to take a wheel off the car, grab a straight edge and a ruler or two, and start to measure the distances from the wheel mounting face on the hub to the outer face of the caliper, and the outer diameter (that faces the barrel of the wheel) of the caliper. Armed with these dimensions and any other measurement that grabs your fancy while you are there, you can then go to the seller of the wheels and do the reverse measurements from the wheel's mounting face and see if there will be clearance to the caliper. There really should be. I have 17x8 RPF1s +35 clearing the caliper face by a finger tip. Those wheels do have pretty thin spokes with some curvature.... but then so do most wheels to suit Jap cars.
    • So I’ve got a r34 sedan that I managed to get green stickered, meaning I need to go through government approved wof station for my car to be allowed back on the road for some reason my car is certed for 19x8 rims.. I need these wheels  does anyone know what offset will be fine to clear Nissan big brakes? I saw 35et for sale near me, I can’t drive the car to test fit or risk being fined ..   I searched heaps online couldn’t find anywhere..
    • Okay, with all that being said about sloppy blowing from twins, I happily acknowledge the superiority of a single turbo setup on the RB; however, I still plan on double trouble.  I know the -9s were quite popular for some time because they seemed to meet that sweet spot between the -7s and 5s, would introducing VCAM and/or stroking to 2.8L provide the additional displacement/flow to push twins closer to the 500-600 goal?  Does it make more sense for a daily to just do an engine overhaul, slap some -7s on it and enjoy a bit more reliable power?  Has anyone driven a mine's overhauled and tuned engine?  I know they certainly don't approach the power numbers that you drag monsters do down under, but for daily street usage, I just want it to be fun and healthy.
    • Mmmm. Perhaps more correctly stated that the one turbo doesn't actually force air back down the throat of the other. All it does, and all it has to do, is be pumping a little harder than the other turbo (which is an effect of how the turbos are getting driven by the exhaust and inherent resistance to output air flow that each turbo sees up to the merge). If the turbo that is not flowing quite as much then nudges the stall line (because it gets pushed there by the higher flowing one stealing the limelight and moving its own operating point further from the stall line), then you get the behaviour described by Josh. There is no need for air to move backwards in any way. It just needs to be less air moving forwards than is required to stay to the right of the surge line.
    • GTX2860R Gen 2 is an option. No, it doesn't actually do much. The basic problem with wanting 600 whp out of the factory twin turbo setup is a few things. One is that the twin turbo piping is just so, so inefficient. The front and rear turbos are not actually working evenly. The rear turbo is always moving more air than the front. On top of this the OEM rear compressor inlet is rubber that likes to collapse causing a huge intake restriction. The merge doesn't even wait until the intercooler to happen, and it happens at a 90 degree angle. This is why you see some discussion about "turbo shuffle", where in certain conditions one turbo can actually force air to go backwards into the other compressor and stall it out, then once the other turbo recovers it stalls out the first turbo in a cycle until you do something to break out of it. The other issue is that the RB26 is just not that efficient an engine. It needs a surprising amount of ignition timing to reach MBT for a given cylinder pressure so all that time in which the cylinder is pressurizing before TDC is just wasted energy. An N54 might be around 10 degrees BTDC on a stock turbo getting into the boost. An RB26 is closer to 25 BTDC. Net effect is a turbo roughly the size of what HKS uses on the GTIII-SS (smaller than the R3/GCG Japan "GT2860-1" -7s) is only good for maybe 550 crank hp or low 400 whp while a roughly comparable turbo on an N54 can deliver something like 700 crank hp and obviously drivetrain losses are greatly reduced when you aren't burning a bunch of power on keeping a hydraulic pump + transfer case preloaded all the time. So yes, you can make a lot of power but there's a reason why people go single turbo for the numbers you're asking about. Don't forget that the RB26 can't even do a straight line pull without oil starving on the stock oil pan either. Baffles can help, but really you just need more oil capacity.
