no idea to be honest... i personally would have paid up to $13-14k for it.

there's not much of a market for them really, it's flooded with $8-11K garbage. not to mention the fact that every other wannabe would rather/can get a 200rwkw for next to nothing.

the clean, straight, low km, stock examples are far and few between.

Hey just recently sold my R33 gts25 for $10.2k to the gf had it advertised for 11.5k but was getting next to no response. 1994, full 2.5 inch zorst, pod, steering wheel, 18s body kit and 92xxx genuine kms.

When selling mine found there was not much of a market for non turbo's so u should be able to pick one up quite cheap-cheap i say!

i payd $11,500 for a 97 series 2 r33 non turbo AUTO. very very clean, from a car dealer, shitty 4 month warranty but anything is better then nothing and im the first owner in australia.

the reason i got an auto was because it was alot cheaper then the manual and for a first car i really couldnt be botherd getting a manual license,il drive manual when its worth driving (turbo)

anyway all in all mine is in very good condition and is perfect for what i need it for. a daily driver, something that looks good and has a little more power then most and is very easy to drive with decent fuel consumption.

for what its worth dont get an r32 they are very old (almost 20 years old!!!) and becomming very outdated. especially if your dealing with non turbo/non performance skylines then newer is better.

sold my n/a about 4 months ago.

it was a black 1993 r33 gts4 automatic.

had a full kit.

87,000Ks

excellent condition all round, interior was closest thing to brand new.

dual airbags (driver/passenger)

sold it for $8000 with rwc and 3months rego.

personally i'd never pay more than that for an n/a skyline.

pod filter, exhaust, extractors is alot more grunt then a r33

somehow i doubt that that would give you a 26kw gain. if it did it would only make it similar in power to a 33. then do the same mods to a 33 and it will have much more power than the 32.

stock NA 33 = 104kw/ton

stock NA 32 = 94kw/ton

stock vx commodore = approx 98kw/ton

I bought my 33 from a dealership on the gold coast, MJR Motorsports, They are excellent for importing stock clean low k's cars.

Mine is a 1997 R33 GTS25 Series 2, It had 40,xxx KLMS when i bought it, ive done 4000 so far, it was 100% stock when i bought it, So far ive only put a cat back exhaust on it.

It dynoed in at 160HP/116KW At the wheels with the cat back exhaust only.

I paid $16,500 for it, A bit pricey yes, But if you see my car you would understand, Exterior, Interior and engine bay is next to showroom condition.

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
