1993 Nissan Skyline R33 Gts-t - Good Or Bad? [need Help]

[lynchie]

Hey guys, I'm 16 years old and had my L's for a month now. I slipped up on the old law by 2 days, so i have to sit on my L's for a whole year now.

Most users would say its a good thing because you can mature a lot on a year of driving. But im pissed off by it, aha.

Anyways back onto the topic, I was going through carsales.com.au looking for some nice cars. Always wanted to own a skyline, but with the new law. You cant drive turbo charged/ super charged vehicles until you are 25. (I think)

But I found a nice looking 1993 NISSAN SKYLINE R33 GTS-T, automatic.

Not to keen on the fact its auto but the cars in good condition.

So my questions where,

Could you guys have a look at it and tell me a few pointers about it. (anything you wish to share)

Would i be able to remove the turbo?

Don't bother with it, there are no easy loopholes and you're not the first to consider this. Get a non turbo if you want a Skyline and then buy a turbocharged one when you are off your P plates. That maturity you speak of can start straight away if you let it

I would of guessed. Its hard to find a skyline in adelaide thats non turbo and is under $10,000.

So I was wondering if I do buy it, would I be able to take the turbo off?

[Socrates]

Yes it's possible but don't do it.

Alright thanks,

got any tips on a car that will turn heads and make chicks wet in an instant after seeing it?

Im looking for a hot ride that wont break the bank, currently $10,000.

The next R33 under the one you showed us is a Manual, Non Turbo, 1994, in SA and only $7500.

Ticks all the boxes :-) and dont worry to much mate because chances are over he next year before you get your P's there

will probley be heaps more.

OR

Look outside your state and just fly there and pick it up and road trip it home some times can save big dollars..

Woah never even saw that one. Thank you.

But my only concern is the high Km's.

Does it effect the skyline to much?

[99 GTT]

If anything the high km's are a good thing because it is less chance the speedo has been played with and on the point of it having 197000 km if you compair that to it being a 16year old car then it is only what 12500km a year, this is about the average.

With any car this age even if it has only got 80000km on it, will generaly need work done every so often like shocks will be a bit sad from all that weight for 16 years, bushes may need to be done, things like that but engine wise it does no have a turbo so less heat and less componets to break and there are heaps of cars with 200000, 300000+kms and still go well when maintained.

With all cars you should check the history and also the condition when you buy it. e.g. blowing smoke, oil leaks, low km but a worn stearing wheel (dodgy kms), transmision sounds and slipping clutch etc.

Hope that helps

Good Luck...

Thanks, i guess thats true.

I went through the guide on how to test a skyline and what to look for.

So if i go and have a look at the car, ill definitely go through it like the guide said.

Dads also a mechanic by trade so he can also have a look at the car.

Thank you very much :-)

Yeah, invest in a gym membership instead. Or get a nice motorbike...then wait until you can pillion passengers and take a girl for a joy ride...much better aphrodesiac than a car.

haha, already go to gym.

Parents rather me get a car than a motorbike because they say they trust me on the bike, they just dont trust other drivers.

But it wont stop me saving up and buying a honda cbr250rr.

YES you can remove the turbo from a turbo car.

YES it will also make about as much horsepower as a hyundai excel.

NO i am not joking about that.

YES if your father is a mechanic he should've known that turbo engines run lower compression so without the turbo they will have much less power than one that didn't have a turbo from factory

YES you will still get pulled over and booked for driving a turbo vehicle because the car is still registered as a turbo, and if not they can book you for having engine modifications, since you have infact modified the engine by removing the turbo

and finally, YES buying a turbo car and removing the turbo is a major waste of time and money compared to just buying a non turbo one in the first place

[Ust]

As ecerybody else has said, yes you can remove it, but it's a waste of time. May as well just buy a nice non turbo manual.

Couple of grand more but would save the hassle.
