In japan it's not hard to find a r33 GTR for $25k - and that's from a dealership.

r32 GTR can be had for under $10k - but that sort of car is not one I would want

r34 GTR are still a little pricey - but the high australian $ makes them look pretty cheap these days. The higher spec models remain high, to import, as they tend to get slapped with luxury tax on top of the usual extras - due to their price bracket.

This is why I would never buy a GT-T r34 - if resale price was something I cared about. But I guess recent 33 pricing, gives an indication of how quick things change.

I still believe you get what you pay for, meaning u'd need a solid $40k for a good condition R33 GTR and a good $35k for an R34 GT-T.

Hopefully in a year i'll be able to find either 1 of the above to buy.

Err, guys? Have any of you used Ebay before? That is the starting price, not the Buy It Now price. Once word gets out there will be bids. I would be very surprised if it didn't go for at least a few grand more than that.

Either way, I think Ebay is a stupid way to sell such an expensive car. You have such a tiny window of opportunity, which means that people that would genuinely pay a lot more for what the car sells at the final price just can't put a bid in because they can't come up with the cash in such short notice.

Even if this car sells for the minimum price, that is in no way an indication of the car's true value. The buyer could easily then take his time and sell it for closer to $38-40k. At $34k I think it would be an ideal investment.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
