Hi everyone,

Im form Tas looking at going to Melb to buy a skyline. I have only driven an R33 once or twice so was wandering for first time should i buy a R33 GTST or go for a GTR or R34 GT-T. Also Should i go to a dealership or private

They are 3 completely different cars and only you can make up your mind which one suits you the best.

There are also plenty of quality cars in Tassie already so unless your wanting something different or cant find what your looking for (which i would find hard to believe) then why not buy locally???

Either way all the best with the purchase and welcome to SAU

I've noticed due to the smaller market down here, it's harder to find what you want and also they can be a bit more expensive..

Plenty of cars around just harder to find and you will find that money talks 99.99% of the time :P

Thanks for all your imput im heading the way of getting a R33 GTR. Im also going to go to mainland as cars in general seem cheaper. What would be the best way to go a dealer or private?

I have found an 1996 GTR V Spec in Vic for $20,990 private sale. Is that a reasonable price? Has 84,000k's. I have spoke ot his mechanic and he is going to send me the service history

Get it lol

Received a few service invoices from mechanic, also mechanic did an inspection whihc cost the owner $60. Had a list of a few things to get fixed such as LED in spoiler, Handbrake adjustment 2 new rear tyres and rear brakes. Owner is getting those fixed

I went to Melb on sat and brought the 1996 GTR V-Spec. Im very happy with it. The only bad thing is it bottoms out at the bottom of my drive and scrapes on gutter in front of garage. I have already put a crack in front bar. Im to scared to get it back out. Need to figure out a way to cove gutter.

    • I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.
    • Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.
    • Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.
    • Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.     
    • I have a 2 lt in Sydney. It was fitted on a R33 GTR, not used for several years . If you are interested email me on: [email protected] I'm not on this forum much .
