hey, welcome to the forum.

There are alot of things to consider. best bet is to call just car and ask them for a quote, say you are considering buying one and they will let you know what you should expect to pay. You can also do online quotes at any of the insurance websites.

cheers

I'm 22 and have been insured since 17 with no accidents or liscence suspensions and it costs me 1600 for a stock one with rims and a decent stereo. I also got a quote for when I've done all the stuff I want and it is 1800. (Turbo back exhaust, FMIC, Aftermarket computer, suspension, sway bar, strut brace) That was through Just Car.

Less than I expected. Suprising thing was, it would have cost me 2200 for a GTIR pulsar.

its hard to find a standerd r33 ay?? most of them have had things done to them, il start looking in a couple weeks, :rolleyes:

Yeah, there was less of a selection of stock ones, and heaps of the modified ones were sweet, but I have to meet clients a lot and generally arrive and leave in my car, so a really loud car with a crazy bodykit can give a bad impression to the people I have to deal with. So a sleeper is the only option for doing it up.

If you want some the modifications, it's generally heaps cheaper to get one with them already done (the purchase price wouldn't be cheaper, but in the long run it ends up cheaper) Obviously make sure to get an inspection done to check that it isn't stuffed.

A lot of dealers offer a 3 year warranty (for a price)

Goodluck

    • But it's much better to use a freedom unit that has four different possible meanings...
    • I would try messing with friction modifier to see if it smooths it out.  Just keep adding more until it stops chattering or grabbing quite so much. If you haven't changed the gear oil in a long time you may as well start there too in case that has anything to do with it. You might want to also verify the initial torque is set to the lowest setting too. Requires popping out one of the CV axles first but that's not too bad. Once you're sure the preload is set to the lowest you can try adding an ounce at a time of friction modifier until it feels right to you.
    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
