Well a change of circumstances calls for a change of vehicle so the Skyline is up for sale/swaps.

I was involved in a very, very light touch late last year and the car copped the lightest damage to the front right. The day after I had parked the car at the Hurstbridge train station (about 1100m from my house) and at 8:18 that night a copper drove through, saw the damage and left me a defect notice. It took an eternity to get the insurance sorted (through the guy who hit me) and in that time the rego was suspended (I wasn't going to fix it until I new it wasn't going to be taken by the insurance). So there we are.

1994 R33 GTS-T Coupe

Manual

~170k ks

$5500 ono or swaps for a 4 door r32/r33 GTS-T manual with cash your way if necessay.

Also interested in any other four doors or station wagons. Mush be interesting/turbo and manual.

Needed for roady -

  • Probably a front bar cover
  • Small amount of panel bashing the front right, or a new guard
  • Probably a windscreen (RWC mechanics tend to be a stickler for windscreens)
  • Front tyres replaced but only because they rub lightly on the inner guards (currently fitted are 235/45/17 - fine tread wise)
  • Grille - the damaged one could very easily be fixed though, like very easily.
  • Remove boost tee
  • It'll then need a bit of a general tidy up/panel beating to get everything to fit properly, but really not much.
  • I have 2 headlights to go with it. They are in excellent condition.
  • A couple of very small holes in the rear muffler patched
  • Will need a new battery.

If I think of anything else which needs mentioning, I'll put it up.

The good points!

The car is/was in excellent condition. It's been resprayed at some stage a very dark, metallic purple. Looks great although it's got a few typical scratches/chips on it.

Engine is perfect

Gear box is good, though syncros on 4th are shot. Apart from that it's very tight.

No creaks, rattles, squeeks from diff/suspension.

New Clutch

New rear tyres (chongshen specials)

Big FMIC behind the bar (stealth). Comes with pod filter AND stock airbox (currently fitted)

Comes with two excellent headlights and one good left

Good JVC headunit/speakers altho sub will be comming out :)

Interior very clean, straight and complete (apart from boot - a bitsa back there).

Been boosted to ~9PSI for about the last 2-3000ks of it's life. Stock boost always prior to that.

Starts first click, revs perfect, no smoke.

New radiator.

I love this car and will be sad to see it go, but I need a four door.

PICS TO COME

Call/SMS me on 0418 994 629

Car is located in Hurstbridge, north east of Melbourne. Can be viewed weekdays after 6pm and weekends (except fo rthis weekend!)

Righto, so crappy pictures as promised. I'll take some more at some stage when I have better light, and I'll give it a wash!

I'll include a Greddy Emanage Ultimate with harness as part of the deal. Not yet installed.

So $5k with the EMU + harness for a very good nick 33 which needs a tiny amount of work for roadworthy.

Going up on Fleabay tomorrow.

Will kick off at $3,500 with a $4,500 reserve.

If someone buys it here before I put it up I'll throw in the EMU and all and any spare I have here such as a full set of braided brake lines and whatever else I can find.

hi bro do u know what is exactly broken in the car?

There's a light bit of damage to the front right. It's cosmetic only, ie. the rad support and reo bar are untouched. You could either flatten out to guard on it now or pick up a astraight second hand one. Either job wouldn't be hard.

For roadworthy I predict it will need the following:

Battery

4 small holes in the exhaust filled, or a new rear section

possibly a new windscreen

probably front tyres as they rub on the plastic inner guards at full lock

horn reconnected

boost tee removed

an air filter for the stock air box

That should be it.

the car is straight, it's quiet, it starts perfect, first time, blows no smoke, revs perfect, pulls hard, brakes perfect and so on.

The only reason I'm not goign to fix it is because I need a 4 door for a potentially growing family in the not too distant future. And I also simply do not have the room to fix it. I live on the side of a mountain and don't have a garage.

Would u sell me just the emu

I will, if I sell the car. But for now I'll hang onto it in case I decide to hang on to the 33.

Check the gnew price.

$4,000 for a car requiring very little work for roadworthy.

Happy for people to come and inspect after ~6pm weekdays or on the weekend.

Gizza call on 0418 994 629 if keen.

$4,000 with the EMU.

Anyone?

I need a sedan! Interested in swapsies with cash your way. Keen on an R33/R34 4 door, XR6 turbo, XR8, must be manual.

Will go up to ~$12k your way depending on car.

    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
    • Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha
