Can anyone recommend somewhere on the Gold Coast or in Brisbane who specialises in Skylines or other imports?

Im looking at purchasing an R33 auto model with pretty much stock gear. Would I be right in getting one for around 20K? Im not really sure what to look for, but the newer the car is the better.

Any ideas are welcome. Sorry if its been asked before (I couldn't find anything)

Cheers.

definately the best place is Advanced Auto Imports at Albion in Brisbane.

They have been open almost 10 years, since the whole importing thing started. I have had 4 mates buy cars from there and never had a problem.

speak to barry, he is champion. they will look after you. Pretty sure they have some autos in stock

20K you would be gettin ripped off or gettin a pristine condition skyline with very low KM's you should definately shop around, skyline imports in brisbane is as its name a skyline importer, good reputation its always featured in magazines, mine was from wilsons classic cars on ferry rd southport, lots of imports around that street but have to look carefully at them

Hey BLeR,

I have an '95 R33 Gts25t Auto with stock engine, and great factory options like sunroof, 10cd stacker and geniune skyline floor coverings, plus I've spent another 7 grand on 17" mags, 3" exhaust with dump pipe, tinted windows and a full bodykit.

I imported it myself almost 3 years ago and am only asking $20,000 (registered in QLD)

[email protected] if your interested

yeep, you get what you pay for and a 93 model for 14K would be a heap'o'shito! :uh-huh:

I can see it now, cig burns, fogged up headlights, the skyline badge at the back all worn off, 140,000 geniune k's but the clock reads 75,000, power windows that rattle inside the doors when down oh..and lets not forget the trademark 13 year old skyline signature...worn handbrake, and stearing wheel leather.

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
