my r33 gtst was stolen and written off last week ;) . im now looking at buying r33 gtr and want to know if i should buy a stock v spec, or a slightly moded one. when modded what should i avoid ie:-what type of power can the stock fuel system happily support?? I have read the tutorial on buying a skyline, but i want to know more specificaly about what to look for in a r33 GTR. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. if it helps my budget is roughly around 27 to 36.

Cheers Aaron

I bought a stock very low kms S3 V-Spec. Best car I have owned to drive, very reliable so far too (granted only a few months). I would go stock or mild mods, in best condition, latest model and lowest kms you can for the most trouble free ownership. I am very happy with my purchase... just needs more power now! ;)

Depends what you want?

If you want to get a stockish one and leave it stock, then get a nice stockish one..

If you want a modded/fast one then get one thats got the mods you already want or as close to it.

Buying stock and spending tens of thousands of dollars is silly.... :wave: even thought most of us have done it

What are the problem area's to look at on R33 GTR's? With the R32's theres the rust issue to contend with, so i'm thinking of giving them a skip and switching straight up to an R33 GTR.

Is there a buyers guide/checklist on the forum that has all the area's to checkout when buying an R33GTR ?

This isnt "specific" to a certain model

But it covers pretty much everything that needs to apply.

There really isnt anything that is missed, so it really doesnt need to be specific IMO.

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
