@ GTS4WD: I second that, id take the auto, but no swaps lol, im over the new P's laws already,makes people selling turbo cars so much harder.

LOL... aye... but then selling non-turbo cars ain't easy either... P-platers are becoming wussy and not willing to fork out to buy these awesome cars... Where have the car nuts gone? Where are the Jeremy Clarksons, who would mortgage their homes for a car (if he wasn't married with 3 kids)?

hey mate would u be interested in swaping for a 99 vt commodore, 144000km's, very good condition, cd player, tow ball, white, auto rego till november. does urs have rego?

Not really... Sorry. Thanks for offer though.

BUMP

parts coming in from Japan....

a) White bonnet lid

b) Pair of white wing mirrors

c) Pair of white wing mirror add-ons, which have yellow indicator LED strips over them... look at picture...

these will be provided for an extra $400.... the LED wing mirror add-on is worth that much alone...

Picture of part ©

Also have a wood-trim kit for car... not installing in case new owner doesn't like the effect.... but can be provided for extra $50 (ebay sells it for $180 incl postage and RRP is $400).

Item: Nissan Skyline R33 GTS Sedan from 1994

Location: Sydney, NSW

Website: Trading Post ad

Item Condition: Excellent

Reason for Selling: Want Toyota Cressida or Vl Calais (may consider others, so pm or reply here), also can't afford insurance ($1600 for $3500 of excess...:ermm: ), so NO IMPORTS.... sorry... maybe next year.

View this as a MUCH better alternative to your Camrys, Commodores (the base model ones), Falcons (same thing again), Accords, etc... Its a fast and nimble, yet comfortable and practical 4-door family sedan. With technology that's durable and not found in new family cars today.

Price and Payment Conditions: NOT $8,888 NOT $8378 BUT

$7500 ono with FREE Road Angel GPS, with latest Sirf Star III chip.

Want this car gone, have another one in mind....

Extra Info: Price is Negotiable.

BAD POINTS:

Car has got re-tread tyres, good time to think about getting rims.

One tyre's retread is ripped.

Small 5-cent rust spot at bottom of rear windscreen.

2 vinyl tears in door trim (can be repaired using stuff from SuperCheap Auto).

Scratches around plastic trim for electric window switches.

Right parker light is out, needs bulb replaced.

Remote key needs contact for battery re-soldered.

Wing mirrors are different colour. due to previous owner having no time to respray after wing mirror clipped car park pillar.

GOOD POINTS:

Engine superbly maintained by previous owner (only have had car for 1 month, selling due to ridiculous insurance quotes).

Has HICAS 4-wheel drive system, which was on R32 GTR.

Has 5 speed automatic gearbox, which is NOT found on turbo versions of this car. Very smooth gear changes, 1 gear makes a huge diff for the automatic gearbox.

Sedan, so you can use as family car.

Have put blue LED lights for dashboard.... looks really cool.

Have JL front splits installed, rear speakers are unknown 6" (came with car).

Have Alpine headunit, can control iPod from headunit (don't have the cable though).

Been running BP Ultimate for the few months through car.... very smooth running now.

Have repainted exterior plastic door trims, so now in deep black.

4 NEW tyres

Car has had major service done recently. Changed the cambelt (aftermarket), bearings, power steering fluid (Castrol), brake fluid (Super DOT Castrol), brake pads (QFM) changed & engine oil (Castrol Magnatec). Car stops on the mark better, steering is lighter and more responsive and engine is more responsive.... would recommend also doing a A/T fluid change to get the best results (apprx. $200 already bought A/T fluid)

This is a rare Series 1 R33 sedan, don't buy a coupe which you're going to have to sell when you have a family. This is a car you can live with everyday and brings a smile to your face.

Selling because i want a change... looking for a subaru liberty GX 91-94 in manual... with the hill clutch control feature.

Test drive car ANYTIME sleep at 2am... only for viewing after the 13th of May 2008. Car located in Epping, NSW (Sydney).

    • Yeah, all the crude is used for fuels and petrochem feedstocks (pesticides, many other chemicals, etc etc). But increasingly over the last few decades, much of the petrochem synthessis has started with methane because NG has been cheaper than oil, cleaner and easier and more consistent to work with, etc etc etc. So it's really had to say what the fraction either way is. Suffice to say - the direct fuels fraction is not insigificant. Heavy transport uses excruciatingly large amounts. Diesel is wasted in jet heaters in North American garages and workshops, thrown down drill holes in quarries, pissed all over the wall to provide electricity to certain outback communities, etc etc. Obviously road transport, and our pet project, recreational consumption camouflaged as road transport, is a smaller fraction of the total liquid HC consumption again. If you're talking aboust Aussie cars' contribution to the absolute total CO2 production of the country, then of course our share of the cubic mile of coal that is used for power generation, metallurgy, etc adds up to a big chunk. Then there is the consumption of timber. Did you know that the production of silicon metal, for example, is done in Australia by using hardwood? And f**king lots and lots and lots of hardwood at that. Until recently, it was f**king jarrah! There are many such sneaky contributors to CO2 production in industry and farming. NG is used in massive quantities in Australia, for power gen, for running huge water pumps (like, 1-2MW sized caterpillar V16 engines running flat out pumping water) for places like mine sites and minerals/metals refineries. And there are just a huge number of those sort of things going on quietly in the background. So NG use is a big fraction of total CO2 production here. I mean, shit, I personally design burners that are used in furnaces here in Oz that use multiple MW of gas all day every day. The largest such that I've done (not here in Oz) was rated to 150MW. One. Single. Gas burner. In a cement clinker kiln. There are thousands of such things out there in the world. There are double digits of them just here in Oz. (OK< just barely double digits now that a lot of them have shut - and they are all <100MW). But it's all the same to me. People in the car world (like this forum's users) would like to think that you only have to create an industrial capability to replace the fuel that they will be using in 10 years time, and imagine that everyone else will be driving EVs. And while the latter part of that is largely true, the liquid HC fuel industry as a whole is so much more massive than the bit used for cars, that there will be no commercial pressure to produce "renewable" "synthetic" fuels just for cars, when 100x that much would still be being burnt straight from the well. You have to replace it all, or you're not doing what is required. And then you get back to my massive numbers. People don't handle massive numbers at all well. Once you get past about 7 or 8 zeros, it becomes meaningless for most people.
    • @GTSBoy out of the cubic mile of crude oil we burn each year, I wonder how much of that is actually used for providing petrol and diesel.   From memory the figure for cars in Australia, is that they only add up to about 2 to 3% of our CO2 production. Which means something else here is burning a shit tonne of stuff to make CO2, and we're not really straight up burning oil everywhere, so our CO2 production is coming from elsewhere too.   Also we should totally just run thermal energy from deep in the ground. That way we can start to cool the inside of the planet and reverse global warming (PS, this last paragraph is a total piss take)
    • As somebody who works in the energy sector and lives in a subzero climate, i'm convinced EV's will never be the bulk of our transport.  EV battery and vehicle companies over here have been going bankrupt on a weekly basis the last year. 
    • With all the rust on those R32s, how can it even support all the extra weight requirements. Probably end up handling as well as a 1990s Ford Falcon Taxi.
    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
