If you guys can have a,quick look at all the R33 GTR's available for sale in Melbourne on Carsales and link me the one they think is the best looking, cleanest, best deal etc.

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!

Bam get this one. http://carsales.mobi...5&Cr=2&trecs=19

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 :).

I have 1996 Series 2 in Midnight Purple that I'm thinking of selling, pm me if you're interested.

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.

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

You want a car? Pick any two:

1. Cheap

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.

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

    • 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 . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
