Buying 97 R33 Gtr

[Mike33GTR]

Hey, i'm buying a 97 R33 GTR and just wondering what i should look for in terms of any problems it may have?

The one i'm looking at is running about 300kw atw with HKS GTss turbo's.

As far as i know its been running that power for about 20,000kms and before that just about 240kw.

I've heard of lots of GTR's doing the bottom end not long after getting 300kw+ out of em.

Any help would be much appreciated

Hey Mike,

Theres a "What to look for when buying a skyline DIY" on here check out the link below.. I found it very helpful when I was buying mine.

Once its passed your own checks take the car to a performance workshop in your area and ask them to do a once over.. make sure they do a compression test and leak down test. Yes it will cost you a bit of $$ to get it done but it might save you buying someone elses problems...

Good luck with your search mate and welcome to the SAU community.

Cheers

5mil.... I think I'll get a 34vspec2 or m spec for that price if not a nur. Even thought it'll have higher mileage than that 33.
