1997 Gtr

[Bubble]

HI guys,

Long story but ive got my hands on a GTR r33 1997 model, the car has compliance but is not regested, Im just not 100% sure if it can be yet, because it has had the brakes changed on it too smaller ones (i think GTST ones) and the headlights have been changed to GTST ones as well. also i have not had the engine checked yet but it seems to spool up funny- maybe coils but your opinions may help. The outside of the car has no dints or scratches, ive got a few options:

1: sell the car as is- would be looking at around 20,000.

2: strip it down to sell it for parts

3: or go and get the car looked at by a mechanic and spend some money getting all up to scratch.

Would do you guys think?????

pics, copy of the auction paper, colour, kilometres, other details. If it got complianced it should get regoed, the compliance is heaps more strict

why would u want to buy a BCNR33 with ECR33 brakes and headlights?

i think if you tried to sell it you wouldnt get $20,000 for it since it doesnt have the gtr headlights or brakes and there might be something wrong with the engine. doesnt make much sence that someone would go to the trouble to fit worse brakes and headlights, and those gtr items arent going to be cheap either.

Especially a series 3...those HIDs are hot property...and smaller brakes? why?

It'll cost you a bit to fix it, but it will be worth it.

Still dont understand why those items were changed, however.

Sounds unfortunately like it was in a serious front/side collision.

Hence the cheaper replacement parts.

Did u have this car imported over? Or was it already imported, complied and sold to u by previous owner??

[jetblack]

need pics! but $20k for pretty dodgey car no way. you can get a decent one that is registered for that price,

you would be lucky to get 12k

Thanks for the input guys,

ive decided to take it to a specialised import mechanic and he is going to do a full inspection on it and also see if there is any sign of it been in a previous accident.
