Hey guys,

I am a newb to the skyline seen and just been doing a bit of research. Just got a question to ask, sorry if it seems stupid or if the answer is really obvious.

Just wondering I have a budget of $25k to play with, is a R33 GTR V-spec gettable? There are 2-4cars on carsales at this price but was wondering would these things be money pits? Should I not even consider a 33 v-spec with a budget of $25k?

Thanks fellas

Edit- should also specify that I understand the gtr aint a cheap car to run, its just I want to know if I can get a decent condition one for 25

I would be looking at $20-$22000 mark, you can buy them at that price and in good condition. Or even look at a R32 GTR with mods there is certainly good buying out there. :(

Whats ur location, i have been looking at one on carsales at Albany Creek in Brisbane. Its in excellent condition for $23000. I would buy it today, but renovations on the house come first at the moment.

Hiya,

First of all, welcome to SAU Forums!

Sorry for the vague response, but it may be possible to get a good R33GT-R V-Spec for $25K = "it depends"

For instance, it may not be a really low Km vehicle for that price - and yet, you may still pick out a good one.

One has to wonder why the seller is selling.

Are you or your mechanic friend (assuming you have one) familiar with GT-Rs when you inspect them?

Do you have a reasonable income to maintain the vehicle?

Do you want to modify the vehicle?

Are you wanting to buy one as stock or modified?

You haven't asked yet, what to look for when you're picking out one, but I assume you'll do a 'Search' eh?

If I were in your shoes, yes, I'd keep my eyes peeled for a decent R33 GT-R V-Spec with that budget.

And when you find one, a good one, it'll be better than 'oh what a feeling'!!

Tez

a few points to think of before you buy a skyline, in reference to upkeep and future spending:

1: you WILL modify it... heaps...

2: you WILL modify it... heaps...

3: you WILL modify it... heaps...

4: you WILL modify it... heaps...

5: you WILL modify it... heaps...

6: you WILL modify it... heaps...

7: you WILL modify it... heaps...

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
