Buying a car dilema's

[blx]

I am having major dilema's with trying to buy a car. I sold my MY98 WRX cheaply in an effort to get back into a skyline, As i had found the car i wanted to buy. Went and took it for a test drive and everything is awesome except for a whine when decelerating in 1st and 2nd, So i got a mechanical check done on it. As expected problem with gearbox.

Because of this i am driving around in a gutless nissan pulsar that my girlfriends sister owns. The problem now is trying to find another car that fits into my stringent criteria. It took me 4 months to locate my first line and i was hoping it wouldn't take so long this time.

I have looked everywhere for a 95+ silver or Black GTS-t, obviously for the right price.

Anyway to save me too much hassle, Does anyone know of any good gearbox places in Brisbane?

Cheers

As previously posted i am very keen on that car just the gearbox...

Cheers

ummm last time i looked r33 gtst boxes were like a 1k or bit more? plus fitting and everything will add up to 1.5k

There is also the problem of buying second hand boxes knowing if they are stuffed or not too.......i bought a used box once and one of the syncho's was ****ed as well as the bearing was leaking oil onto the clutch and rooted that too.

I know you have been looking for ages blx, but surely theres quite a few r33's getting around now. I would advise you not to get this car as other people said in the other post, a stuffed gearbox usually means its been thrashed and who knows how well the engine has been looked after? i mean they are strong engines but not bulletproof.

Get another one unless you can negotiate the price really good. I know how hard it is waiting, but make sure you get it right the first time, you dont want a car with problems niggling at you everytime you drive it.

$500 for a new gearbox? I don't think so.

I would stay away from this car unless he drop's the price to compensate for a new/recon box. $1700 will get you one.

Don't be in a hurry mate....You may regret it.

sorry thaught it was a 32 my bad

just get him to knock the price off of a new gear box

and if he doesnt wanna do that say good bye and walk away

pm the price your paying and specs because i know where theres a EXCELLANT conidition r33 for sale

yeah.. watch the gearbox. If its dodgy, its only gonna get worse and they're not cheap to replace, or recondition for that matter. Give it some stick and it'll get worse rapidly.

Keep looking I say.. and don't be so picky on colours, or it being 95 Otherwise you will be looking for ages. Everybody wants black.

[blx]

Yeah i spose, It is just that i owned a white 95 GTS-t when i lived in melbourne and i do not want the same colour for that reason and do not want to go backwards in years.

Haha I tried the 'being picky game' 2 years ago I only knew of 2 R34 non-turbo autos in the country at the time.....I bought one of them because of the complete lack of choice. Glad I did though, cause it's got a sunroof an they're hard to find

If your buying the car from a dealer and it comes with a warranty... just give it some stick and when the box blows get it replaced on warranty... i mean u get the car u want and it saves buying the box... just make sure that u keep up the 5000K services and u'll be right.... just an option.... or on the other hand u could wait till god knows for "that car" to come and buy that one ultimatly its upto u good luck
