I'm missing my Skyline like crazy and so have decided to bite the bullet and get me another one. Does anyone know of any R33's for sale at a good price? How much do you think I can pick one up for these days? I don't want too many mods, just something neat and in good condition. I have just bought Tein fully adjustable coilovers for it so suspension is no problem. If anyone has any ideas or knows of anything thats out there at the moment please help me out!! Thanks.

I may as well jump on the band wagon here... I am also considering selling mine, as much as I love it I would like a R34... mine is in really good condition, has a few mods putting out a good power figure and the price is negotiable :D

22500 , 25000 ? asking a bit much arent you for series 1 , good luck with it though im sure youll need it

my suggestion rebecca if your going to pay that sort of money for a skyline then save for an r34 , almost as much as half the guys are asking on here for theirs , give it a few months

I for one have sold my r33 and am looking to get into a nother one , have you considered a cheapy? i have seen a few 33's n/a's in these forums and in the paper for 13-14 some with mods

few nice gtst's hanging around for 16K with a few mods , or cruise perthcars.com dont rush into one im not , save as much as you can before you buy it , no rush youll get into 1 eventually just remember they depreciate in value very quickly and the price of r33's are going down alot more importers coming on board etc..

yeah a lot of the cars are pulling high horsepower and are highly modded which Rebecca said she didnt want. Cam's is so high because of his deafening stereo system. The fact of the matter is if you spend a whole heap on mods you aint going to get the money back .... you would recoup the money better if you returned car to stock and sold mods seperately .... which is what i plan to do if i ever sell my car.

Hmm - I'm not trying to make a heap of money back - but mine isn't a stocker and nor does it look, drive or sound like one.. :looks over at mark's avitar:

I think you'll be waiting quite a while for those $20k R34's seeing as they are $35k to $45k at the moment..

Each to their own opinion. I feel you get what you pay for...

All that said - mine is still for sale at @ $22,500...

ps - Al, give me something to chuckle at... :rofl:

As I stated I put that price in as a ballpark starting figure... If you notice I have stated clearly its very negotiable, I dont expect to get that price but you need a starting figure... If I dont sell it, it wont bother me as I am very happy with it. I just thought it would be nice to buy a R34. Either way at the end of the day I am going to be happy... Might even buy the R34 regardles as I think you can get a nice one for around $35,000.

      R32 GTS-t RB30 sedan

      Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.

      Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.

      100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
