Need Help On R33 Skyline Gts

[ewhs]

Hi everyone,

Not sure if I have posted in the right thread. Will be moving to Melbourne by next month. Looking out for a R33 Skyline Series II Non turbo (25 GTS or 25 GTS4) as my daily drive. Would like to know:

A) Whats the price range like?

b) Cost of Maintainence?

c) Cost of insurance?

Anything else I should be on the look out before making my purchase?

Thank you

Pricing - cheap. around 10-12k will have you a N/A R33 i would imagine.

Would make for a good first good car or similar actually.

Maint - usual servicing, 10,000km's i think.

So maybe a few hundred

Insurance - totally dependant on your rating, prior history, car type/model and location you live.

So its impossible for anyone to give you an idea on that

Other than that, nothing.

Read the DIY thread:

It will cover more detailed things for you.

As nismoid said.

A) 10-12 K.

B) Cheaper for NA. Change oil every 10,000 KM. you could probably do it yourself.

C) NA insurance would not be much IMO but as nismoid said, depending on your age, location and driving history.

R33 S2 is a great car... I own a turbo one. Love it!

THank you Nismoid and CCCP for answering my queries.

Im from out of town and not sure about the Insurance Premium for a Skyline.

CCCP, Actually Im thinking of getting a Turbo R33 but the prospects of having high maintenance costs

is putting me off. Besides, I understand that being a Probationary driver in Victoria, I cant drive a Turbocharged vehicle?
