buying a car on ebay have u viewed it in person, test drove it?

it's one of the dodgiest place on earth to buy a car unseen, let alone one with no rego like this one.

i hope you all the very best of wishes that nothing major is wrong with the car...

why do you think the seller is selling an unregistered car with no air flow meter and missing passenger window?

was the car ever got stolen? something being smashed and grabbed off the vehicle?

i wish u luck man...

na i went and saw it today it starts up fine and everything looks mickey you can tell its a unfinished project, oh and i called vicroads checked if everything was all good and its not stolen, i've seen this guys work before always likes to stand out and be unuqie and it sure does this time when i saw it in person i was amazed. For extra he said he can register it and everything but i can do all that my self, but whats the max should i go for ? i'm actually thinking of getting it on the road and selling it for more hehe

you'd definitely want to be captain cautious with buying any un-registered car, it looks pretty cool in the pictures though,

its the only one i've seen in the country with a full veilside bodykit (they guy has got it wrong in his description) and the paint is crazy buy pretty cool.

as for the amount, i'm not too sure, as its not everyone's piece of cake, most people want a stock standard GT-t to modify so be a bit careful thinking you can make a profit out of it, especially with P plate laws in Vic.

sorry to rain on your parade but 2nd hand market sucks right now... especially grey imports with no local dealer support

go to carsales, and see how many other private R34 being advertised for sale, not to mention dealers...

long story short even offering my mint V35 for trade in on a new Volkswagen the dealer went scoot and run. they just don't want a grey import in their yard, and probably don't want trade ins at all!

This is pretty much stock the cooler is the only mod for the engine, its mainly the kit and wheels that grab my attention. even if i get under 19 for it, registered on the road should be able to get atleast 23-24 right?

Carsales RedBook value guide:

5sp Manual Petrol Intercooled Turbo 6cyl 2.5 2498cc

Average Private Price+ $16,900 - $20,850

u buy it for $19k, then u add like $1500-ish to get it rego'ed maybe a bit more if seller don't include RWC (being it unregistered they're not obliged to provide RWC). by the time u had it in your name it'll be $20k-ish which is the TOP max value according to redbook

you can say scrap the redbook sh1t but if I am a buyer - I'd be going around shopping with redbook value printout in my hand and press the price out of every single seller I see with those values. oh and all those mods not gonna be 'valueable' in the eye of the buyer...

been there done that. bought my R33 for $23k, spent $20k on mods over 3-4 yrs of ownership, and only managed to get $11k out of it via private sale.

go figure.

Yeah as someone said, the 2nd hand market seems really dead.

The car is unique so that's a plus, but there seems to be very few people shopping for 34 GTT's locally.

I would not buy this and expect to get rid of it quickly.

Wow that car is ummmm.... different.. (No offence, just not my thing) Although the GTT part is good, nice choice :D

Don't worry too much about buying off eBay, worst thing happens you win, don't pay and get banned for a month. Better than spnding heaps of $$$ on a lemon (or a lime in this case :P).

Goodluck!

Wow!! I really like that car (other than the wheels).

And LOL @ the lime comment Charlie :P

EDIT: Just noticed the failed offset in the rear :D Disappointing.

its pretty out there but i think its look good =P obviously its not for everyone but... i think the wheels are probably a bit big for my liking though.. and considering it was on ebay a couple of weeks ago for $30,000 or best offer he was probably expecting more than 18,600..

so did u end up getn it?

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
