Thanks guys...

Well I am in the market now as I just missed out on a clean silver r33 from Kamakazie (spelling??) in Nudawading VIc. It was a bit pricey though at 15k but modded nice and very straight & clean...

Oh well looking looking lokking ..where are they? not sure about a private purchase as of the unknown factor, any ideas?

welcome to the forums.

if you're shopping for a 33 in melbourne, I'd go with private... even better if its someone who's a regular on here on the forums, as it'll already have a bit of recorded history.

avoid buying from P platers generally, altho you do get some responsible p platers.

R33's are really hard to sell atm, moreso in melbourne where there's heaps. Being a S2 shouldn't make any difference, and the low value of the S1 (about 8 to 9,000) will work in your favour in dragging the price down. All this works in your favour, so try and haggle it down to 12 to 13k regardless of condition and where you're buying from. You'll be surprised how many people will cave in eventually as reality hits home. There's plenty for sale and its a stagnant market, so take your time and be picky.

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
