I'm about to buy a 1993 R33 GTS-T I took it for a test drive and everything seems to be great, there are a few minor scratches here and there but nothing that cant be fixed with touch up paint, apart from a small crack in the front spoiler which I think i could probably fix, engine check seems to be fine it's being sent to the shop for a full comprehensive test along with RWC. The car itself I think is a import from japan currently it's done about 157,000 which i thought was a good deal until I saw the odometer (They seller has bad english and stated it traveled 15K, I didn't actually think it was that low and kind of expected it to be 150K but I took a look anyway) he's also including a sony tape deck, with 10 disk changer.....which thanks to my ipod I will probs never use. as well as these features (listed below). Any input would be appreciated thanks

-Skyline R33 93'

man i paid 20k 8 yrs ago for my 95model. the prices i see them go for now is rediculous. id like to see what silvias and 180's are going for now days.

just as long as the mechanincs is still good and it all depends on how much your willing to pay. get it checked out.

Yeh i paid $16 for mine at the end of 04... kinda sad what they go for really....

150K's isn't that much really as most of the one's under 100K's have been wound back...

Get a proper mechanic that knows Japanese cars to look over the car and you should be laughing...

even if it is goin for rwc get it checked over by someone u trust who knows what dere lookin for because dere is a lot of dodgy ppl out there who will give a rwc to any car.

Yea I found that out thanks to this forum i think i saved my self 8.5 grand, after a lot of reading just for the heck of it I decided to get the car checked out by State Roads, and man i'm so happy i did. Turns out the chassis had been in a major accident and it's been welded up, bent in several places and cracking everywhere. I'm going to start a new thread with a link to the guys ad and upload the State Roads Report cause I don't like how dishonest this guy was he was so eager to sell and was trying anything for me not to check this car out and now i know why. He told me it has never been in a crash and it was all in good nick, the State Roads guy REFUSED to test drive it thats how bad it was. I wish people weren't so dishonest, I eventually found this guy called Muhammad who has works in Braeside and does up AV for cars, he has a small business in where he imports cars from japan, he seems to be a straight up dude I like him a lot more then the other guy, he kept it real and didn't hide anything from me, told me where any dints were from the word go, so i'm buying one of his imports. Don't know if anyone here knows him, he's not part of the forums but I said he should start getting into it he has a SICK gold R34 M-SpecNur I'm sure people here would love to see it.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
