looking around for a R33 GTS-T series II M-spec manual, but prices vary a lot and i don't want to get a dodgy car.. what bracket would you guys say is the right price? 16-18 thousand?

also.. are there any real differences between series II and I besides the front bar?

cheers :wave:

R33 S1 & S2 Differences

Get out there and have a look at the cars, you'll soon work out why the difference in pricing.

Personally I think alot of people don't check out the market for themselves before advertising their car for sale hence the jaggered prices

Ps - Plug for my car as it's for sale and I'm a nice person :wave:

thanks for all the info guys, very helpful :wave:

also liz i would love to buy yours.. looks awesome.. but its 1000kms away and i have to sell my current car first so im afraid i cant :wave:

i'd be looking at spending 20k+ if I was to buy a gtst again, but that's just me. I like things perfect. not one single door dent. no swirlies. no interior blemishes. engine compression like it is 1 day old. but like I said, I like things perfect.

**btw, this is just generally. of course, you mgiht score a total bargain for cheap, but you know the saying, generally, you get what you pay for.

trust me mate.

you spend less, you'll end up spending it anyways.

e.g. an immaculate one will cost 20k+.

you'll always get these keyboard warriors saying you can get one for 15. sure, but look at this example.

A friend of mine bought a 93 model for 11 k. was an auto.

paid 2k to convert it to manual.

engine blew - 6k rebuild.

paint was shit, so he spend 2 k respraying.

at this stage, it still was pretty crap inside. all the bushes and suspensions were probably still crap.

I know which one i'd prefer.

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
