Hey guys,

Just wondering what my friends R33 is worth as she is thinking about getting rid of it. .

Its a 93 N/A coupe, 5 speed manual and has a few problems. .

Ok . . it needs,

New tyres

New windscreen

the heated box to be fixed/replaced

Water pump to be fitted (already have a new one in a box)

The side skirts and rear bar are badly cracked and need to be fixed and painted

A R/H front quarter guard (had fiberglass ones but took them off)

Both electric window motors

The radiator needs a flush and so does the motor. . The intake runners where the radiator hose joins to was rotted out so dont know how bad the motor is . .

Radiator/heater hoses

the roof and boot have faded, so would need a respray

and the C/F bonnet is in bad condition. . very faded and yellow . . Needs a cut/polish and to be sealed

Also, some of the motor has been pulled appart to replace the water pump and the dash is out as we were going to take out the heater box. .

Just wondering what it would be worth in this condition?

Thanks for any help

Daniel

It used to be a really nice car. . the interior is perfect, but once the roof/boot started to fade and the bonnet went crappy and yellow (no uv protectant) it started to go downhill. . When the heater started leaking, it drained all the water from the motor so she parked it up and hasnt moved for a long time. .

Also the body is in good nic. . its just faded and there isnt any damage to the metal. . .

I am thinking bout buying it for a track/street car, so the motor, heaterbox and some of the other problems wouldnt matter. .

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • 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.
