Hey guys,

I'm coming over to you guys here in VIC over this weekend as a mate of mine is looking to buy an import.

We would just like to know the different yards around, so we can check them out whilst we're there.

thanks for your help

both my mate and i are mechanics and know the common problems with 33s and rb25s

we'll be on the plane friday morning and touching down roughly 8:30am

here's a link to the car:

its in the Japcars yard in Fawkner

the car is currently on hold for us with an internet banking deposit :D

if we're not happy we'll just move along. i have also heard that this yard requires a deposit before test driving anyways

thanks for the help guys, but i'm sure there's plenty more import yards around? surely

need to know the other yards with locations so we can have a gander

again as asked what areas are you looking at? you have a few import yards out in the west but some out in the SE as well. is ther a particular area you wantt o stick around or you dont mind travelling all over melbourne?

Check out Southern Special Vehicles (SSV) in Oakleigh down in SE area. 2 weeks ago when I went to pick up my V35 I saw a white R33 there. Pretty clean. Best to give them a call and ask if they have any R33 for sale.

The one on bell st is called JSA (Japanese Sports Auto) Imports. Never heard good things from there...

If he has a look at the condition of their cars for sale and the prices... he'll make up his own decision anyway.

    • The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄  
    • Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....
    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.
