did R33 GTR's just suddenly get cheaper?

i remember they used to be up in the 35+k zone, and while looking on jspec and imports 101 for a car for a mate, we saw 3 R33 GTR's for $25-27,000

one white, one black, and one (my favourite) midnight purple..

admittedly they are somewhat stock, but id rather a nice midnight purple GTR, than my GTS-T.

especially seeing as the money im just about to spend on it getting it the colour, and power i want, i wont see back., and the GTR already has that stuff, and same price.

or perhaps the GTR's im looking at are duds?

some feedback would be great, because ive got this money to drop into my gts-t, but if these gtrs are the real deal, for 26k ill snap one up.

did an insurance quote for a $28,000 R33 GTR with minimal mods (exhaust, pods, etc)

ITS CHEAPER TO INSURE A R33 GTR, THAN MY MODDED R33 GTS-T!!!

albeit my gts-t is approx 280rwhp, i thought a gtr which is worth a good $10,000 more, and almost similar power would be more?!

looks like its 33 GTR time people!

i dont expect it to be grade 5, nor do i expect low km's, lods of mods, etc..

but these ones seem to be in decent condition

one im looking at is dead stock, rims, exhaust, suspension, everything.

has done about 100,000km, and has some scratches on the front bar, so it doesnt seem that bad for $27,000.

only problem with this is no one will buy your gtst ! unless you want to drop 10k off it it seems....

also in my searching im starting to agree with IMACUL8

like you can get a 95-96 gtr vspec for 28k

but you can also pay 36k for the same vehical , there is a reason for that .

im starting to think it would be wiser to come in at the top end of the scale and pay 30k top level great condition 32gtr than a average 33

    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
