Wtb [Qld]: 1996/7 R33 Gts-T Standard (Or As Close Too)

Hi all,

I am in a position to purchase a stock standard (as close to stock as possible) Skyline. Here are my must have's:

  • Must be stock (as close to stock as possible), with the exception of exhaust and mag wheels although I would prefer standard exhaust.
  • Must have less than 120k 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 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.

how is anyone going to be able to prove kilometers unless they bought the car brand new themselves in japan?

Sorry just to clarify, I would like K's in Australia to be proven. IE if it has a Nismo cluster, when was it fitted and how many K's did the original OD have on it?

I get real sick and tired of going to have a look at a car with Genuine low K's to find out it has a 300k/hr speedo. Jap imports don't have 300k/hr speedo's. That's all I am trying to avoid here. Don't show me a 300k/hr speedo with 60k on it and say it's genuine.

Besides that you can do a car history check on most Jap imports for the K's at the time of import and then look at the service history from there. Is it fool proof, hell no. Is it better than "Genuine" K's on an after market cluster? Hell yes. Just don't want a drive train with 2-300k on it, no matter how good the compression is on the motor.

Cheers.

    • Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂
    • Just ordered those bosses, hopefully that does the trick thank you very much everyone for your replies it's really appreciated  
    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
