What are the Kms on both of them and the condition which is better ? By the look of the photos i would pefer the Black R33 looks plus it is cheaper.

[Kranker]

Both pretty similar in spec from the looks of things, as in both have exhaust, 'cooler and some type of ecu and some suspension mods.

So not much in it as far as difference in mods.

Niether apear to be seriously worked on.

Go drive them both, and get both inspected by a mechanic you trust, then make a descision.

All we can do is say if the mods are good or not. And its never a good idea to pick one car over another just because it has more modifications. Compare the overall cars, condition of paint, interior, engine health, ride quality, gearbox etc, then make ur choice.

On appearances alone though i'd lean towards the Black one

[fandango]

they both have about 87,000 kms...........

and one is in sydney, the other is near melb.

and im in canberra, thats why i was asking for some advise.

because its a long way to go for a test drive... if the car is a shit heap

[(B1) MR_fanny]

87clicks...thats very low....id def check conditions of both to check if they correspond to the k's

[typevu]

I'd get the black one and get rid of the wheels.

[R31Nismoid]

10k for a R33 these days?

How prices have fallen!

[bombtrack]

By all those exclamation marks looks like you're leaning towards the first one

[Damit]

should see if a guy near the car who knows what to look for could have a look for you in that case fandango

[GTS4WD]

As much as I dont like it..

My 2cents is the first one..

In all bases its better modified..

If you want a track car.. its got coilovers.. ECU..

if you want "bling".. its got that too..

And your saving 2K

And according to all the exclimation marks.. I think you too have made you decision..

[krzysiu]

Arent the Active lsd only on the series 2's? Even though it has more mods i dont like the look of the R33 series 1 interor and the bonnet + lights. + ide go for the newer car and the one in better condition.

More mods means more thrashed, no one builds a fast car to drive solwly. Regardless before you buy make sure you get it checked out by a mechanic.

[fandango]

thanks for all the help guys, just one more question

i know its impossible to know but after a re-tune how much power could the black one(car 1) put out at the wheels?

on a safe tune of course???

[nitestalkr]

Roughly 180-190rwkw... If it is all in good nick..

Obviously that is just a massive guess and not gospel...
