Am i right in thinking its a 2.5l twin turbo, with rwd?
Is the power output 276 bhp?

Cheers,

Kos.

I think it is 250bhp on the R33GTS. Whatever it is the R33GTS should be very cheap... Loads about at the moment.

Have a look here for some specs of the different models...

Obviously it ain't as good but there is one that has the full GTR kit on it for £11'995 at a local garage. Seems nice.
Where could u get a R33 GTR for anywhere near that price??

i paid 15k for my r33...not THAT much difference.

since then, ive blown a feckin fortune on it though didnt need to, just couldnt resist

if u buy a gts for 12k, in the end you'll spend big wads trying to get the power up, buying gtr body kits etc, so you might aswell buy the real thing in the first place for a couple of grand more.

I've been offered an R34GTT for £14k so £12k for R33GTS sounds is dear IMHO, if it is a R33GTS you are after it should around the £7k-8k mark, look at the one in the buy & sell section www.gtr.co.uk

good luck

My mate has had a 1993 33GTS (single turbo 250BHP) for a few years and its been a good buy, OK the aircon pump packed in but thats all.
Excellent tail out fun and they are as cheap as early WRX's now 6-9K gets you a nice one. GTR body conversions start at £1300 + VAT + fitting + painting....
He's been smiling since he bought his but its difficult getting the power down in anything but bone dry conditions, cool !

Just make sure that the car you are looking at for £6-7K is a turbo, most of these cheap GTS cars are non-turbo and considerably under powered by comparison to the GTS25T.
