Not another skyline driver...
Well, picked it up last wednesday and I must say I have never driven anything quite like it. Has stacks of grunt, love the low slung seating position
and the classy 2 door profile, comfy enough for long trips with climate control a/c and power steering. Its a nice break to the rough riding 63' bug
I was driving.
Its a 1997 R33 gts-t, 71000 kms on it.

i thought harsher laws existed in japan for cars over 70k, and it being more cost effective to replace then keep - they are shipped here to oz....

ahh the old skyline, got a mate with an r32 gtst work pretty hard, gets 217 kw at the tyres with 50 degree intake temps lol and we did all the work on
that ourselves. another mate has an r33, dunno how much power but we did the front mount intercooler on that and also got the boost up there. can say
though a full exhaust, 3 inch turbo back and a front mount makes the most difference. i would recommend it. and make sure you either disconnect or
solid earth the boost solenoid if going for higher than stock boost. otherwise you still get that silly, low boost till 4500 rpm then you get the rest
hahaha. thats my 2 bob anyway

1990 , hmm so r32 possibly abour 18 22 last time i looked but if you get it imported under the last few that can since they changed the rules i have
seen them go for as little as 12500 to 13500 they are the toughest sounding cars i have heard. on full revs its like a plane more than i car.
