Heya all,

went down and physically inspected this R33 GTR beastie:

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/dealer...id=12544F7AB6BF

looked very clean and original and less than 55K.Kms!

Zero mods that I could tell from a looksee.

Straight body and no rust that I could tell other than from getting it up on a hoist.

Interior was "likebrandnew".

Unfortunately Jap Cars wouldn't let me drive it unless I put down a deposit to buy it (bit sad because if I liked it I would have bought it on the spot)

What do you guys think?

Worth the 25K pricetag?

I looks nice from the photos, but you best go see it in person and bring your mechanic along with you if you don't know what your looking for.

KamikazeNinja34 (Cass) bought her R33 GTR from them and it was in a good condition.

Looks nice in the photos. I don't understand why people don't let you test drive cars unless you put down a deposit. It will definitely put me off from buying the car. It's such a important part of the inspection.

its cause u get time wasters and day dreamers that just want to take ur car for a thrashing 2 tell their mates they drove a skyline.

show some cash like ur genuine and im sure the seller wont deny it

^^ Exactly!

Fcuk the time wasters off!

Or if you don't want to put down a deposit, atleast the best the car dealer can do for you is take you out for a drive but you cannot drive it.

I know it's hard to make a dicision without driving the car, as said above. There are way too many

punks out there who just want to go for a drive. I bought my R32 GTR from Japcar last year and

I gave him $500 deposit and then the car did all the talking.

Clean car there if you like it, give him deposit after test drive if you are not impress then I'm sure that

Dennis will refund you your money back.

By the way when you buy a car from him he will look after you even after the sale unlike others.

Well, because I'm bored..............

Its had the front lip painted white to match the body.

Has aftermarket gearknob.

Is MISSING front GTR strut brace.

And its white :P

Looks the goods other than the missing front gtr strut brace....

It also looks like the rear muffler has been replaced at some point which shouldnt be the case for a standard gtr with 55Klm's on the clock.

Definately drive it before making a decision and dont hand over any money.

jap cars are great to deal with.

dennis (the owner) is a top bloke i bought my 34 from him i didnt have a licence at the time so he took me for a drive in the car and i bought it that day.

That muffler is the original. Had same one on my GTR.

    • Thanks Murray, appreciate the advice, a few things to think about now 😀 
    • After my million questions, I'll throw in my 2c now.  If I was in your shoes, I would buy the best/most modern ECU available. A Nexus S3 would fit the bill. It is highly likely that this ECU will last the life of the car, regardless of whatever ECU manufacturers develop in the future. Modern ECU's are amazing and will still be amazing in 10 or 20 years time. If you can get e85 relatively close to where you live, I would buy a flex sensor and size the injectors to run e85. I'd go a Walbro 525 fuel pump with relay wiring kit.  Turbo wise, I'd hit up HyperGear and get a pair of the biggest bolt on turbos.  Now for the safety side of things, I'd have the tuner setup the tune to be very soft/safe on 98. Then on the flex tune, a lot of the timing can be put back in on the top end (I'd run full boost on both tunes, but manipulate the power with the timing). This also has the benefit of hopefully delaying the, "bored now, need more boost" that comes with owning a modified turbo car. If you spend most of your time on the 98 tune, the few times your on e85 will hopefully stay special/fun.  The bad news. As your paying for labour and tuning, I don't think this will happen with $10,000. This might be the motivation to learn to do it yourself though, that way instead you'll have the built car and change from the $10,000
    • Cheers Duncan, on club reg and very much a weekender, don't drive it all that hard and don't intend to go overboard at any point in the future too. In my 40's and quite mature driver, just want that little bit more from it 😉 Sounds like, after ensuring everything is in good condition, ECU, Injectors, Fuel Pump and a set of turbos is likely to be my path forward. 
    • 15 years is not too long to hold onto something like that, right?
    • Hey man,   By any chance you still have sunroof for sale ?   Thanks
