Haha oh snap. Mate I went to every one in my budget range in victoria. So in pretty sure I got the best one out of Melbourne :P.

Don't be lazy. Do it yourself. You won't know how good a car is until you go look at it. Btw avoid a white s2/3 r33 gtr, that thing is idling like a bomb, and the dash is terrible!

Dunno if link will work

Yeah saw that one....something about the wheels/rims gives me nightmares lol.

Also the ride height seems high does it not?

Im guessing thats stock, but it just looks weird.

Wasn't quite sure, because in the comments he mentioned "new tyres", wasn't sure if that meant new "factory" tyres or not, or if that also included rims as well :whistling: .

I know i am noob with GTR's that is why i am on here......and i didn't make this thread for you to choose me my car. It was made to see what you guys think is the cleanest and best deal for a R33 GTR on sale in Melbourne.

I think you need to do some major, major research. Obviously that one has the stock wheels and for tires. Well sorry to brake it too you, but tires are just tires.

You need to give us a criteria then don't you. Obviously you don't want a stock looking gtr. That's what I got. Might it up costing more money in the lOng run. But I'm anal and don't like not knowing what's in the car.

Also I saw a total of 17 gtr's on the carsales list. That would take you 2 weeks to go look at them all. There's one that's highly done up and the others look ok. What car are you coming from?

Do you know what you want out of a gtr? Do you know how to take care of it? For the love of god please tell that you know what engine it has!

Haha. I love my questioning rants.

My current car (which i am trying to sell) is a 2001 series 2 R34 25GT (got it on my P's, hense NA).

I want a fairly stock standard R33 GTR, that isn't thrashed, has low kms, doesn't need much work done to it. I don't plan on spending heaps of money on it, just want it to be reliable, sound good and quick.

As far as exatly what i am after:

Year: 1997-1998 model (if 1995 not too fussed)

Price: <$25,000

Colour: Black/Midnight purple

kms: Less than 80,000

Mods: Mild or factory

Do i know how to take care of it? I am learning/have friends who know a lot about skylines/GTR's.

hahaha yes it has the famous RB26 :).

Mileage is 82,000km, bog stock even right to factory boost restrictor still in place (have pod filters though)

mate do some research before you buy anything, otherwise you might find yourself having pockets with holes in them.....you dont seem like you know much about the GTR's, read up on the common problems, then maybe, maybe start looking at some, hopefully with one of your GTR knowing friend.

oh man

noob + GTR = light wallet

research, research, research.

You might like to attend some SAU drive days/cruises/dinners/poker nights/swingers parties with SAU VIC crew and see what they can tell you.

I been reading up on them for the past week or so now.

Visiting forums, google searching, watching youtube etc.

Getting the basics down atm, not so much the advanced or technical side of things yet. I am working on that though.

2. Reliable

3. Fast

Why don't you just consult you're mates with their gtr's? Unless their imaginary.

My friend is actually well known for his GTR's/Skylines, he is a member here, but doesn't post anymore as he keeps getting harrassed for advise on cars lol.

I do talk to him quite abit, but he is busy and sometimes doesn't have time to talk and given who he is, he has hundreds of people asking him the same or similar questions, so i don't want to annoy him too much.

But you want US to pick what WE believe is the BEST value GTR on the market in said region for YOU.

Its more a discussion thread more than anything, just want to see what your guys thoughts are.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By -Jimmy- · Posted

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
