Hi Guys!

Ok i've finally saved up enough $$$ to buy a car......with only one car in mind....a r33 skyline. I've had a look at one and i thought i'd run it past you guys first just to make sure its a good deal because i dont know much about skylines.

Here are the specs:

1993 R33 4 door

Gun Metal Grey

Non turbo

T bar Auto

160,000 kms

Air conditioner doesnt blow cold air...i've been told a $40 regass will fix this?

16 inch nissan rims ( 1 back tyre needs replacing.....weird i would of thought both back tyres would be bald at the same time?!?)

upgraded twin muffler exhaust

The interior is pretty good apart from a ciggie burns on the drivers seat

The body work is in good condition apart from a small dent on the passenger door

The price i have been quoted is $21,999. To afford this I will have to get together a few extra grand, what do you guys think so far?

let me know

Lamba

Non turbo 4 door auto?

i wouldnt pay 12k for that

Those things are lemons of the skyline world in terms of resale potential/demand

the car specs u listed and the price the guy is asking is way overpriced...

You could pick a 93 non turbo auto 4 door up for 12k to 15k depending on mods

however the one u listed is AUTO and NON TURBO FOUR DOOR...

Heres a general price guide obvously depending on condition and mods etc etc:

1993 - 1995 series 1 4 door non turbo auto = 11k to 14k max

1993 - 1995 series 1 4 door turbo auto = 12k to 16k max

1993 - 1995 series 1 4 door turbo manual = 14k to 18k

1993 to 1995 series 1 2 door turbo manual = 14k to 20k+ (mods)

SRV is a god!!! :P

ok that aside, that is the biggest rip ever. Is this a private sale, import yard?? If this is a business asking that much, if they are dodgy enough to put that price on, i don't know if you could trust anything else they have.

please stay away from the car unless he wants to chop $10K off the price :D

cheers

      V36 wreck (edited from V37 by mod)

      I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?

      ugently need expert / experienced opinion

      I wonder if part of it has to do with when you've each bought the kits. I honestly have the feeling that the silicon joiners in the 2000s were actually better quality than most of what you can find these days. Even in the same brands. Everyone racing to the cheapest price while still trying to make profit means lower quality parts. For coolant, I personally would be going with rubber, OR, converting the radiator and engine to use the huge AN fittings hose for radiators.

      Shifting questions

      By dbm7 · Posted

      If shift solenoid A is bad, that explains limp mode --- now you're in the same position as I mentioned previously, in that the next step is to confirm loom/wiring integrity from TCU to gearbox connector with a multimeter (the TCU cannot detect a broken wire, which can happen ..ie; rodent damage, loom rubbed through)...and then finally measure resistance (at the gearbox connector) for shift solenoid A ... ...once you confirm shift solenoid A is bad (open circuit, really low or greater than 40ohm resistance), then it's a job ; you have buy a complete solenoid set, get under the car and drop transmission oil pan, and remove valvebody assembly (the solenoids sit on top), replace solenoid set, and reassemble....it's not exactly a fun task, but readily doable.

      Is it oil smoke or fuel smoke? They smell different.
