Wtb [Qld]: 1997 R33 Gts-T Standard

[ffh4500]

Hi all,

I am in a position to purchase a stock standard (Exhaust and Wheels ok) Skyline. Here are my must have's:

• Must be stock, with the exception of exhaust and mag wheels although I would prefer standard exhaust.
  
• Must have less than 100k on the odometer and be able to prove it.
  
• Must be manual.
  
• Everything else must be stock standard and must have RWC. Whilst I would prefer one with rego I can fix that up.
  

I don't care too much what colour it is although I am not fond of the grey ones. I would prefer a car with no extra gauges in the cockpit, the standard ones should be fine. An after market cluster is fine but you must be able to prove the K's on it and before it was fitted.

I a have the cash ready to go but am happy to wait for the right car. I will want to test drive first and do all the normal checks (REV's and Car History).

Please PM me with details and photo's. Please include photo's of the interior and engine bay.

I am happy for a discussion in this thread on any prospects.

Cheers,

Richard.

*Hangs head in shame* See above.

Haha glad you can play along.

Anyways 100,000km on a R33 is very very unlikely

Even if you do find one the chances of someone being able to prove to you its correct are slim.

Just do the usual checks and take it to a place to do a compression check.

All the cyl show around 155-160 then its fine.

Or you could buy a 34 for a good price.

Why do you want a 1997?

I am after a 33 or a 34, just figured a 34 would be out of my price range of around 8 - 12k, preferably closer to the 8k. Also in the GTS-T and GT-T models I prefer the body shape than the 34's. Having said that I would give up my clubby for a r34 GTR.

[Manuel Kasko]

I would give up your clubby for a half eaten kebab.

Logbooks with < 100 000kms is going to slim to none!

Compression test is much more important than kms on a car i think.

I bought a stock 97 grey skyline only 2 months ago and i payed a premium! (No way its going to cost 8K)

There is more to a car than just the motor. Drive train gets affected by the number of k's a car does as well. Gear box wear, diff, bearings etc.

I have seen 97 models for sale at the 8k mark with about 100k on them, some a fraction over (which would be ok) and some a fraction under. I can go higher as well. Like everyone I want the world and don't want to pay anything for it. Not saying I won't.

Yup, have seen that.

Again with the silver/grey.. Yuk. (Sorry pat). Just not my thing.

My preferential colour is Burgundy.

I have seen a few on carsales with under 100k on the OD at about 9.5 to 10k. I would assume I can get a little off that as well. Like I said in my OP, I am happy to wait for the right car.

Also I like the interior on the 97 r33 as well, the seats look neater than the velvet/velour in the older ones. Just sayin.

[ffh4500]

Thinking I might have to look for a 96 or later M spec. Got the cash, ready to go. Just sayin.

[ffh4500]

Was so close to getting one....

But alas it was not to be.
