Recommended Posts

1994 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS Non Turbo

5 speed

White

40,000 kms

17" mag wheels

Aftermarket bodykit

Lowered

$13,400

Interior condition is very tidy and is much better than the kms would suggest. Scratches to the front bumper and RHS have been professionally painted by the supplier. Runs well and is mechanically sound. Recently detailed.

where abouts did you see this?

im paying $16500 for the same sought of car.mine is the rarer GTS4 but with nothing modified and 84000km's.its very clean and been serviced every 5000km's.

it will cost all up $20000 for a few changes including the wheels etc.so i believe that is a VERY good buy.

Id be spending the extra $1000 and buying one of the R32 GTR's that Prestige has had on offer.

i dont think these 2 cars are even in the same league. does the term 'running costs' mean anything to you. if youre gunah suggest an alternative, try and make it a realistic one as that may actually help him...

on the original topic yeh i think it is a decent price, and if thats the car you want then go for it

people who havent imported themselves shouldnt praise the system so much. yeh the price tag is lower, what that doesnt include is the fact you know nothing about the car before it lands, you will have headaches for 2-3 months waiting for it to land, then u have to compliance and license it.

im sick of people praising the system as though its fool-proof. and i feel especially sorry for those who take this ignorant advice on the premise they are entering into the greatest deal of the century. a good exmaple is these 15 year old GTRs, come on people these arent 15 year old camrys theyre not going to be in the best condition when they arrive (esp the modified ones.)

Id be listening pretty closely to adam 32.

I absolutely agree that the R32 GTR is far from a suitable alternative to a 13k R33. Sure Geoff has '89 R32 GTR's for a bit of extra cash, but like adam 32 said, running costs and what about insurance, for a 20 year old!

By the time you buy the GTR, insure it, repair/maintain it you are going to be WELL over the 20k you guys are talking about, not to mention how much it will cost afterwards just driving the thing. I think the non-turbo is a sensible option, provided you are happy with the power levels, you'll sure as hell be spending a lot less on maintaining it.

Have fun with your purchase(s).

If i had a dollar for everytime sumone said get a R32 GTR id be rich! but yeah Adam is right.... the insurance alone would kill me!

As for the above car id say thats pretty good mine is a 1996 R33 series2 non turbo 40000ks i paid $16700 and i imported it

that one has a bodykit and mags aswell which is also pretty good

if you looked around, you could find a decent gtst already in the country for that price. importing a car now is almost not worth it, at least till the new laws settle down a bit.

i brought in a modded car recently under the old laws and found that the near stock cars were going for more than modded ones. just not worth it. you can only really save money if you go for the modded ones, and nows thats out of the equation.

    • I clean my wheels every time I was the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash, followed by wash and wax, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, there also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
