Hey,

I'm 17 and me and my father are going to begin looking for a n/a skyline, you see i have my heart set on this really nice one off the internet but my dad says that we cant just go and buy it because we need to see what others feel and drive like (i can see where his coming form) My dad has never driven a skyline, nor have i for that fact. so i was wondering if there were any import dealers or dealers with a few n/a r33's in Melbourne we could take a look at before we test drive the private seller.

Is the drive different from S1-s2 i know wear and tear due to age my make them feel different. so if you guys could let me know if there good dealers witch would most likely have any Manual 2 door r33s non turbos. Please provide location too please.

thank you, im asking due to the fact i live out in geelong way and theres nothing out here :action-smiley-069:

Cheers Nick ;)

Also anything to keep my eye out for? i know like how to check for signs of them sitting in import yards and stuff... :D

Hey mate,

a friend of mine is thinking about parting with his r33, its white and clean and its auto.

If your interested pm me and I will send you his contact details...

Hey, sorry wouldn't wanna waste their time as i said before i have my heart set on one (by looks) and yah just wanna go to a place where theres a few and see how they run so we can compare to the private seller, wouldn't wanna waste ur mates time pluss im looking for manual. sorry

Thanks for the offer any way, Nick

Speak to David from Carizma International.

He is also a memeber on here.

He tell you what you need to know and can help you sourcing the R33's.

Thanks, Kinda weird as im looking to drive not buy :( , but so we know what they feel like so when i go to see the one i like the looks of we know whether it handles like crap or its a gem... all dads idea but i guess it prevents us from buying a lemon.

Anyway thanks again :)

Go to Power Rd car sales in Dandenong. Really good cars there and a few N/A's.

Thanks mate might head up there this weekend and have a look/drive, then checkout the private sellers and see what feels good.

Nick

From experience power road sells good cars. Never heard of anything wrong with them so worth the drive to check them out. My friend bought 2 R34's from them, My R33 gts-t S2 came from them and so did my brothers R34 4 door GT-V. All cars working well (exept for 1 of the r34's which was written off hence he bought a second one haha) ;)

Okay, well today, i went and looked at a few private sellers and looked at my favorite. My fav one was immaculate condition i loved it! but my dad hated the usual things, rims too big (19s), car too low. and exhaust to loud.... now the exhaust did supprise me for only a cannon it was givving my ear like vibrations kind of things.... is that common, or could somthing be not quite right, its a 2.5 muffler

    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
    • You would need to paint your hardtop again though
