G`day all, im looking at getting my first skyline i want an R33 preferably black, silver or worst case white, it has to be manual + Turbo minimal mods, exhaust , no boosted or molested pieces of junk.

im 38 years old and have had enough of crap cars, and i am sick of finding cars with damaged rails i found one on carsales

i went and looked at the car, i was i little under the weather and forgot to look under neath the car. but the inspector from state road found damaged rails,

he originally wanted $9000 but after finding the damage he agreed to fix the chassis and drop the price to $7500.

please can someone have a look at the pics and tell me if it worth getting or not. any help would be greatly appreciated

At that money, definitely not... Evidently been hit hard at some point...

Also, its a series 1 with a series 1.5 front bar... could be nothing, could be something.

This looks better... Stock standard ready for your own touches..

Thanks 10 4 i have browsed past that one a few times, i sent him an email last night, and spoke to him on the phone just now,

i am going to view the car tomorrow at 7pm, we only have the one car at the moment so i have to wait for the Mrs to get home from work.. i asked the owner about chassis, as far as he knows

the rails are ok but he to is now curious to see if they ARE, he is going to check them out now and get back to me, the seller of the car in the first pictures said every thing on the car except front struts and small tear in front seat did not pass he said nothing was mentioned about chassis so people watch out for this one as i think its being sold AS iS http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_PriceSort_Decimal|1||pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&__Nne=15&__Qpb=1&vertical=car&Cr=8&R=11207951&eapi=2&__N=1216%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294963846%204294963593%204294933106%20903%201622&silo=stock&seot=1&__Nf=p_PriceRange_Range|BTWN%200%2010100&Range=Price:Min,10000~1|Mileage:Min,Max|Seats:Min,Max|EngineSize:Min,Max&__No=0&trecs=30&__sid=133488CCE0D2

hopefully the 96 is good

Sounds like someone who doesn't know much about their car...

Just have a good look-over it mate.

FWIW, S2 > S1 in every imaginable way thumbsup.gif

The 96 R33 is sold pending mechanical inspection,

holding deposit down settled on $8800 with RWC

inspection will most likely be done on Friday,

and should have the car early next week

there is a small dent in left rail and slight on right but they are very small

nothing to worry about i think. all in all the car looks nice and clean.

and has NO MODS, it does have a turbo timer

Alot of imports have dings in there rails from fork lifts moving them around in J.

Better of getting a car with few good mods, for 8k now days you should be able to get a sweet 33, a turbo timer is useless and a defect in NSW.

R34 GTT rims are win.

the R34 rims are on the 93 and its chassis is bad, structural damage from at least 2 major accidents

the 96 is stock as far as i can tell, but i`m no expert,

its the best one i have seen so far and i have looked at plenty

as long as it passes mechanical inspection i will be getting it.

      Rebuilt Rb25det issues

      By KyoyaR33 · Posted

      Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
