Had a total of 3 Scoobys and a GT4 (Track Toy), decided to see what was about on Autotrader around the 8k mark and just for the hell of it looked at skylines and come across a 95 R33 GTR VSpec in Midnight Purple at a little more than a wanted to pay but the look of the car won me over and I arranged a test drive after a 30min chat with the current owner.

Arrived at the guys garage in Sheffield and went through the paperwork which brought out some major bill receipts, ie front Brake swap out to R34 items from Middlehurst =£2.6k
Started the car and the HKS Barked into life !!, not quite as nice as a flat four but still sounded Sweet with a good burble , next out for a test run out to Dam Flask , is all I need to say.....

Didnt want to switch the car off when I got back lol

needless to say I quickly secured a deal and A-Plan gave me a good qoute so next week I'll av a GTR VSpec on the Drive
Still gonna come to Scoob meets at the Carbrooke tho

See all you Yorkie lot at the carbrooke in Dec then

Awesome cars mate, just sold my R33 GTR.

My only advice, don't mod it past stage 1 i.e exhaust, filters, boost control, maybe a power fc - should see you to 400bhp + depending on the turbos. Once you go past this reliablilty becomes a huge issue in my experience.

Hope you've got deep pockets for repairs and servicing

Chris

 

Pictures?!

What you driving Chris?

I always promised myself a Skyline as they are gorgeous ... still waiting for that day to come though

TX.

 

Sounds like you either got a cracking deal, or you well & truely blew your budget

Enjoy, but I'd echo what Chris said...

 

I will look forward to seeing that out and about in the Rome of the North

 

I really wanted a Skyline
Hope you enjoy it

 

Didn't you get a 600bhp RS4 instead ...

TX.

 

Already has Stage one Chris bar the ECU so a remap on the cards. Booked in for a checkup at RB Motorsport in two weeks time
Got a very good deal on the car he had a dep on a M5 so was able to knock him down for cash

I dont want any more power as the running costs at stage one are SKY high , excuse the pun lol.He has had the car for 18 months and has kept it at stage one too but the previous owner popped the R33 engine at about 600bhp so she now has a 40k mile R34 lump in her from RB Motorsport with a tag of £5K
Fingers crossed the car holds together for me then ....

Cheers guys for the replies

Andy

 

Sounds good, should have the R34 turbos as well then - stage 1 should be plenty enough to see off most things

Awesome car, miss mine loads but then I hop in teh RA and forget about it

Mark, bought another scooby classic sti ra running about 350bhp and it's awesome You still got the S2K?

Chris

 

Nice - yes they are bloody awesome the classic STi's!

Ive got an Evo 8 now, pushing 360 ish I think. Enjoying it but do miss many things about the S2000.

Yeah, but then i'm greedy like that
