Thinking of buying my 1st car soon and was looking into the Skyline market instead of the Civic market ..

Noticed the R33, non-turbo automatic which are usually a good price (10k - 16k) :D

Just letting everyone know, only want one for looks - not for racing etc .. lol :D

So turbo, manual etc isnt really an issue for me .. Any opinions for buying one for my 1st car?

Oh and im 17 btw :D

Yeah I'd found them for 10-15k on carsales and some were modified (looks) quite nicely and some with low kms too .. is there anything wrong with having one? My friend said they're heaps heavy & go slow etc .. obviously hasnt put me off lol :D

as i know turbo/non turbo or manual/automatic cost the same, for R33 GTS25t u would pay the same like for the non turbo.

so u dun't need 2 use ure car 4 races but u can have a LOT of fun with it and if u want it 4 show, its better with turbo 'coz if u go down from the gas ure bov makes pretty sounds =D

i would recomment R33 GTS25t and could also recomment a good importer if u like

had have a R33GTS25t automatic for 2000 USD but had have 160 000Km condition was ok, clean interior

I think I'll have it for 3-4years just until I have my full license, and I agree that turbo would be good for show too but you arent aloud to have turbo on your L's or P's in New South Wales ;)

Oh and just for the record, after one exactly or similar to this:

17 years old? Go the NA. Expect to pay around 14k (give or take 1K/1.5K). The NA will be good to get practice on - jumping straight onto a turbo might be fatal if your not careful. Shop around - or look at the importers like allblitz, jspec etc. And post up pics when you do get one ;)

ok look here....

if you want a turbo and end up getting an NA, you will regret it! trust me on that 1

i bought a 93 R33 GTS4 auto not too long ago in very good condition and low Ks, only ended up costing me 7.5grand all up ;) but it was off a family friend so that helped a bit lol.

i do regret getting it though coz i started off with a wrx lol and well.....theres a huge difference between em. but since its your first car then go for a NA R33, still get the looks, comfort, etc ;)

best of luck with whatever you get ;)

u calling me an idiot?

so like you hit 20 and you fully know how to handle a turbo car. lol. ok. sure.

but then again... you are special :(

seriously, statistics show and prove every year, more teenagers lose control of high powered cars than any other age bracket.

if not having a turbo car cuts the death rate by 70%+ then there shouldnt be 18-20 yos driving turbos... simple.

I agree with freddy on the R33 GTS4 quite unique . Although extremely heavy and slow, not good for skids if you are bit of a terry. But otherwise should be able to find a n/a r33 for under $10K.

I think the GTS4's come with 5 stud hubs too, another benefit if you are looking for wheels.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
