Do You Know This Skyline

[LKC]

Hey guys so I have been doing some hunting on carsales for a skyline to buy and this R33 GTS has popped up which im very interested in.

does it belong to anybody on the forum or does anybody know of it?

It seems to be perfect for me - basically no mods except for sound, tint and body kit. she is selling it with an exhaust but also including the stock which I will install. Its also at a great price.

heres the link

if anybody else knows of a similar car at a good price I would be interested in that too.

why dont u save up a little more for 10g and buy yourself a decent car that will last you mate.. and buy n auto turbo not a non turbo/auto .. that waiting that little extra bit always pays off in the end i know it did for me

[MUZT3K]

[alr33x]

wouldnt be my first choice.

[llama_au]

lol

btw, resale value on an auto is craptacular. Very few people seem to want them... Can't imagine why...

I dunno about the R33 but the R34's are tip...so they're not really an auto. If the R33's are tip as well I couldn't see how the resale would be effected much because it can be driven as a manual...it's just not a manual in the true sense...

r33s...especially 95s... Are pre tiptronic. The are as auto as it is possible to be

[slinky-minky]

ohhh...I didn't know that, I figured there was a chance cos a lot of other Jap cars were just starting to go tip in '95

then in that case I would looking for an R34 if I was him

[VSPECT]

hey mate....think i saw you in the show n shine...rit?..i would also recomend save a bit more and buy a decent turbo skyline...trust me you will want one once you hang around us...

unless you on your ps...and cant drive manual...check the jpcr33 like alex mentioned...his car is clean and a good example...

lol... whatever helps you sleep at night

biased towards 33 ey hamish...lol

The price is ok, could probably get it for a bit less. (Provided you convince them to supply a RWC).

Don't worry about the kms, as the majority of jap imports have been tampered with.

Assess the condition of the car and make your decision based on that.

Ahhh...in the real world, we still call that an auto. Note the presence of a torque convertor.......

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyep

[LKC]

yeah I was at the show n shine today. I may go and have a look at this car but after talking to people today it does look like my best option will be to save up and either get a 34 trip or anothercar more known for their reliability.

to answer the questions I do only have an auto license and am yet to drive a manual so i do need the auto or tip.

semi auto's are the only transmission id use now its got the best of both worlds; even if it was was about power automatics actually can have better take off(fastest drag cars use automatics and i think their sequential) with an automatic u can preload the transmission instead of with a manual jerking the gears into place and getting wheelspin unless you drop the clutch at a lower rpm then you could in the auto.

Just about all the supercars have them now and theres a reason. its good to be able to eat, drink, do other stuff and not have to worry about changing gears sometimes. obviously i know u will lose about 5% power over all and add 10kgs+ to the car weight but if it came to it id rather the auto instead of the climate control

[slinky-minky]

Hamish- it sure does I sleep very well knowing I can drive manual, but I choose not to because tip is much better (see my previous mini rant)
