i am shocked i wake up to

scott come here scott my mum Yelling at me its like 11

she was outside with a white Gts-t Skyline r33 outside i am like wtf is going on

I go out she shows me the car and says she found it at a dealer down the road i am Shocked for a Dealer in my shit town to have a import next i look at the price on the window thinking it will be heaps

$16999 i am shocked

Look over the car looks clean nice white body kit mags's 17's

120000ks

inside is a little worn hand brake and gear boot

it was imported in 2002

i get him to pop the hood

I find a

Big pod

Brand name front month intercooler

Turbosmart Bov

look at the exhaust and under the car

has 3" turbo back exhaust that isn't too loud which is just what i wanted

i see aftermarket Shocks and springs

Look at it i think its a M spec with bigger front brakes and LSD due to the wing caust its a 1994 with a big wing

anyway bak to my story i go inside and mum goes back to the dealer

i thing about it and go y not have a go i ring her tell him i will give him $15000

i wanting for a nah thats not right off him

he takes my offer of 15k and tells me it is off the market till i pay up gave me a week

I get 3 months warranty

i went to the bank later that day and i am buying it he has taken it off the lot i am still shocked

what r ya thoughts did i get a deal or what

from a dealer yes that is cheap, althouugh you are mistaken about a few things,

all 33 gtsts have the same brakes and LSD not just mspec.

just make sure its in good nick body and mechanically get a compression test done get someone that knows skylines to check it out it might be a rough car and u might not see it unless u know what to look for.

i know a bit about skyline and it looks fine to me

yes the day i get it i am taking to my Import mod shop that only works on Imports and they will check it over

Body is pretty good only thing is the seals on the windows and shit r going but my silvia was the same

What what All r33 have LSD do they i thought it was only M specs

yeah windscreen and rear window seals are often shit

probably best to take it to your import shop for inspection before u buy it rather than finding out any bad news (if there is any) after u get it.

all r33 gtsts have LSDs and the same brakes for sure, i have inspected about a million of them for friends buying and have had 2 myself :D

nice find man, atleast your mum knows what a skyline is, she mistook my GTR for my bro's 180sx driving down the st.

mark

:D Thats gotta hurt.

I reckon 15k from a dealer is an awesome price... gotta wonder how much he paid... :headspin:

just a question like 2 or 3  ppl said get a compression test done is this a thing thats notorious for all skylines or just the 33?? how can u tell if it needs a compression test done or if it has a lack of compression?

compression testing will show if there is something wrong with the engine, like damage or excessive wear, if a compression test comes out bad its best to do a leakdown test which will show exactly where the problem is.

any car you buy should have a compression test done for peace of mind. especially if its a turbo or hi performance car.

    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25 The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing 
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • 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
