welcome to the colony. that's a sweet sleeper of a skyline, if it's makin 220 at the wheels and it looks standard.

[jjskyline79]

Thanks thats fly wheel power though

Got a neo that needs to be set up so should see it brake 300bhp easy

But i gotta get it over here first lol

Pulled a 14.27 1/4 a few years back, running 255bhp at.5bar boost on street radials and 3/4 of a tank of fuel

Yes another person come from UK to here !! haha. where abouts u from in UK mate?

[bozodos]

haha you're a madflamin mongrel to export an R33 from England to here, but cool story bro, have you thought about selling it there (i imagine they would be worth quite a lot more over there than here!)

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

wait... wut?

imagine the defect for a flying import

[funkymonkey]

haha you're a madflamin mongrel to export an R33 from England to here, but cool story bro, have you thought about selling it there (i imagine they would be worth quite a lot more over there than here!)

hmm yeah, i would have thought it'd be much more exxy to export one out of the UK than to pick up an S1.5 GTSt with minor mods locally for about 6-7 grand. Then again, all depends on how much value you put on history and trust. I wouldn't buy an R33 GTSt locally unless I was doin a ground up rebuild, cos I know at some point, a 17 year old would have owned it.

[jjskyline79]

Mad???? lol you have no idea

England is in the middle of a deep pit of depression atm no work no jobs

You would be lucky if you got $4000 for it over in England

Your looking at what $10 $12 $13k here in Oz to buy like for like, low mileage rwc and or rego infact the last one i looked at was in the $17k mark back home i could get a half decent 34gtr for that!!!!!

So I have a car I want thats worth f all in England because the bottoms fallen out the market and no one has any jobs and carnt afford anything and they cost a fortune here (maybe im setting my sites to high but im only looking like for like and mine isnt really all that great tbh)

Its going to cost me just under $3k to have shipped and on the road you cant buy many cars let alone a Skyline for $3k can you plus I no this car works and its history

Am i still mad????

[jjskyline79]

haha you're a madflamin mongrel to export an R33 from England to here, but cool story bro, have you thought about selling it there (i imagine they would be worth quite a lot more over there than here!)

Or i could put it another way

Is a GTS-T in good condition with low milage rwc rego light mods and the spec you see in this thread worth more then $3k??

[saff_cossie]

Welcome and enjoy Australia, lots more going for it than old blighty. Nice car, join the club now and partake in some motorsport when it arrives.

Just reminded myself - David if you read this, renewal will be done on Monday.

[bozodos]

damn you got a good deal on shipping, is that in a container or a car carrier? I'd've though that they would still be worth more over there, since one would assume that the richer end of town would still be ok.

I was thinking pretty much what Funky said, R33s are worth fark all here, but on the down side most have been trashed by morons as they are the real non thinking man's Skyline model.

I was also thinking of expenses related to any compliancing and on roads (like having to drop all fluids, initial rego / roadworthy etc).

$3k would likely buy you a turbo'd Aussie R31 lol, but then who'd be seen dead in a Pintara!?

[jjskyline79]

Rich end lol that is rich end price $4000 is ALL you would get for it if you were lucky

Got the price on Container that was also a high end price including some personal belongings a few boxes and guitars at 1500 quid but did include insurance and most paper work

Expenses relating to any compliance surly could not exceed $7000?????

[bozodos]

dunno what you'd have to do exactly to get it all good since it's a personal import...
