R33 Skyline GTR....
So....always fancied one of these and now its time to maybe purchase one ....any good advice for me, good points, bad points etc?
I've spotted a white 95 GTR with Vipec ECU, coilovers, 6 pot brakes and loads of nice goodies, but at 10,500 for a 1995 car im a little weary of what im bbuying, and dont know what i should be looking for, but its only been imported in 2008 and has only 90,000 kms on the clock so it is appealing to me
Any owners on here?
What you think, good car, worth the money for a good one?
I look forward to your opinions
Kevin

That sounds a fair price mate. My brother in law has had loads of Skylines. Will pick his brains for you. I saw one up for 28k yesterday

I ownwd a R33 GTR UK car a few years ago now, tbh it was a great car but you better have deep pockets for servicing and general maintenance, most garages will rub their hands together as soon as they hear the words 'GTR'.
Get a good example with FSH and you should be ok, try GTROC for great examples of the R33 GTR. R32 GTR gives you a retro look with same power figures and for 10k you could pick up a real corker.
Good Luck

Hmmm, problem is that it's the GTT,as you say single turbo, 2.5 (GTR is 2.6), rear wheel drive, the best option for these cars are the GTR's simply as they have four wheel drive, so you'll be less likely to kill yourself! hehehehe

LMFAO
Change of plan now lol, thinking of a Monaro VXR now....totally different king of car i know, but 05 ones are going for £12,000 so it makes a lot more sense to me....key new Monaro thread as we speak!!
#27
Yeah im probably beeing optomistic trying to get one at £12k lol, but we shall start looking anyway, maybe just go for the non VXR 5.7 model, can be got for around 9-10k....although I did spot a VXR going cheap, if it was genuine tho that is

Well I bought the one I went to see last Saturday, collect it tomorrow night. Its a 97 GT-R with a few mods: Full engine rebuild with forged pistons at RS performance, recon'd turbos, Stainless exhaust and some nice alloys with brand new 265/35/18's on.
Its a fecking animal although, to be honest, I dont know why I bother because I drive like Miss Daisy
I'll post some pics over the weekend.

Nice! I always wanted an R33 GTR (one of my all time favourite cars), and a few years ago was all set to buy one. Found decent unmolested models but when I saw the service and parts costs from the good garages...
Eg 2k for a replacement headlight?!!? F**k off! The garages know they can force people to pay through the nose in the UK. Guess it's all fine if you're happy paying Ferrari prices...
