Boys and girls,

I sold my R33 about six months ago to raise some funds for an apartment I have since purchased.

I brought a cheaper car (liberty RS turbo) for 8.5k and whilst it was a fast reliable little unit I got so much shit from everyone including my girlfriend that I slowly started to resent the fact that I ever brought it.

"Grandad's car with a turbo" was the most common (and hurtful) comment I heard. Anyway I found a liberty nut that wanted the car so badly that he offered my 11k without a RWC which was 2.5k more than I paid for the car in the first place. At the same time I found an R32 M-Spec owner that was guiniunely going to live overseas and not just saying it to attract more buyers.

With these two events happening simultainously I managed to sell the Libery and by the R32 for a bargain price of 11k with plenty of mods and in unbelievable condition.

So the moral of the story is that if you ever think about selling your car to raise funds for something and buying another run-about car look at all other options because theres nothing more painful than handing over the keys to some happy new purchaser.

PS- The R32 came with a massive front mount that is yet to be fitted so if you know a place in Melb that does piping then let me know.

Check out a place called Technic Tuning. Sorry, I dont have their details or anything. They specialize in turbo's especially Skylines. They should be able to do the piping for the front mount because they made the 3" pipe for my catback exhaust.

hahaha good work!! at least u got one of the better looking skylines unlike ur other one :(

as for piping... check with newkon (desmond) in the victrader area... he has complete cooler kits for 600-700 delivered... so without the cooler and just piping and silicon hosing u might wanna see what prices he has

Thanks guys- Yeah I know Mark from Technic, great guys especially for Apexi SAFC tuning but big dollars and long waits for work to be done! or so I have heard.

There was a fair bit of audio equipment that came with the car like a new Kenwood sub, 6x9's and amp that I don't need. Check out the "For Sale Section" if your interested because I'm unloading it all dirt cheap. Still in the boxes but I pulled my system out of the R33 when I sold it and I don't need all this other stuff.

    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
    • Good to see you followed your heart, got your dream car and have it pretty well sorted out now. I think anyone can get caught out with a seller not being 100% honest about a cars problems. Can relate to all the electrical issues, had similar issues with my first car (mk2 escort) ages ago
    • I just bought the Nexus S3 for my gtt, haven’t installed it yet as I’m collecting parts to do everything at once…so far spent $14,000 The Nexus is nearly future proof
