Hey guys,

After a couple of years of playing with bikes I'm finally chasing a car again. I use to have a Black S1 R33 GTS-T and would like something similar.

Budget is $10,000 max for purchase, obviously the price will be in accordance with condition and mods.

I'm after ones within 500km of Brisbane, I'm not transporting or traveling further than that.

Also, no hurry here, took me 4 months to find the right one last time for the right price, so I'm willing to wait.

Good stuff:

Good condition Paint (no paint pealing/off, only minor scratches, I understand small stone chips etc..)

Colours - Black > White == Silver (would consider others, except for red/maroon)

RWC (that includes, all the requirements of such; good tread, brakes etc..)

Light Weight Rims (prefer 17s personally)

Suspension upgrades (doesn't have to be adjustable, just well thought out and GC)

FMIC (no illegal cutting of front bar, even upgraded sidemount would be good)

Quality POD filter with bracket

Turbo back exhaust (cat-back would be fine)

Turbo rebuilt/hi-flow/upgrade

ECU (power-fc mega plus, would even consider breaking budget a little for it)

Has had regular services (if you do it, you should be able to tell me what oil type and grade you use and how often)

Rebuilt engine (don't care if it's stock or crazy)

If no rebuild under 160,000km on engine

Dark Tint

Bad stuff:

Maroon paint (I hates it)

3 spoke rims (if must, can replace)

Missing engine cover (but I can get another, I know)

Over 200,000km

Overly stiff suspension

Dodgy paint work

Poorly repaired accident damage

HICAS issues (that light should not be on)

Heating issues

Electrical issues

DE to DET conversions

Auto to Manual conversions

Peeling Tint

Cheap crappy aftermarket parts (aftermarket is fine, but no ebay special turbos)

So show me what you have, read above first and you'll have an idea to my reaction.

I don't need rego on it, only the RWC. I can deal with the rego.

It's not all set in stone, if you have god awful paint, but are willing to adjust (2k for a new paint job or whatever) I can accommodate.

I'd just prefer what I want without the effort, as do we all.

I've owned a 33 before, so I know what to look for, and I don't mind cleaning up some issues (last car got major service, new wheel bearings, did new suspension myself etc...).

Let me know what you have, post links here, or send me a PM.

Let your baby come to a loving home to a devoted owner =) It would be a smooth sale, my mechanic would check the car, report to me and the sale would go through as fast as I could hand you the money.

Also, I may consider a 94+ black top 180sx or Black S14a.

Cheers,

Ben

    • Ah yeah I forget we aren't talking about an RB.
    • Fellow ADHDer to fellow ADHDer; Don't chase that paint perfection. Paint the bumpers, and put them on.  Leave the respray for another day. Plus, no one is going to see those old areas above. Any spots of surface rust, give them a clean up, prime, then hit with a white paint just to protect them from rusting. Again, no one can see it.   #Mine hasn't been on the road since 2011 cause ADHD... I've slowly learned not to keep f**king with shit if I don't need to...
    • That would be interested if it's the case as seems like it would make the job a lot messier but subaru sells OEM gaskets so seems it might of had it.
    • Fuel tank is out. Looks pretty bloody good under (ie above) the fuel tank.  Amazing how good the factory e-coat holds up in the hidden areas.  No where near as much body deadener to get rid of as the front but still not looking forward to it!  Shit of a job.  I'm thinking I might grab a needle scaler and give that a go before I attack it with the angle grinder and wire wheel which is how I did the front 2/3's of the car.  Feels good to be working on the car again but who knows how long it will last!  Hopefully I can get it further forward than where it was prior to this last block of work when I decided to go back 10 steps further down the rabbit hole from where i already was! The problem is, I'm realising how hard it will be to repair and paint the bumpers, which cannot be put back on the car, and have a good paint match. There are also areas where it would be VERY hard to hide the new paint where it transitions from old paint. Like this- There is only one way to do that perfectly and I really dont want to have to do what that means I would have to do... 🤦‍♂️
    • Pretty sure the factory assembly doesn't have any gasket at all, just RTV.
