Ash007ks Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Well I know its not a Subaru but unforeseen circumstances required me to get a car whilst the Scoobs having a bit of nip and tuck and Cardio program. I put up my 13 Plate 125 Motorbike for Sale and after having a few ridiculous offers on it nearly 2K less than what i paid, i decided to go down the swaps route. After Many Many Messers ive basically ended up with a Skyline Sedan Single turbo, It was imported from Japan back in 2005 where it was used for drifting, now this is where everyone is going ( i wouldn't have bothered cause it will be foooked) Its got loads of modifications on it obvs that helped it drift really really well. Coilovers High Lift Cams Full 4" Stainless Camber properly set up Arms all done right for drifting Loads of Nismo Goodies 9.5 inch wide deep dish wheels. The first night i picked it up it !Removed! it down, Now this is a 300BHP+ RWD and loves to step out at every chance you plant your right foot hard, great fun when you get used to it but i had a few brown nugget moments. Anyways the Sedan Version is exceptionally sought after by drifters due to its longer wheelbase, and prices on these in this colour can fetch upwards of 8K, so tbh i think i got a pretty good deal. Less Talking more pics 2
Gambit Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Looks good mate going to have a nice collection of cars before you finish :)
Ash007ks Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 Its going to be up for sale soon though, before i get too attached, however the missus seems to think i wont let go. i live by this
quit Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I love these !! The 4 door is so rare and different I nearly got a 4 door r33 years ago
Ash007ks Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 I seriously thought the kid was pulling my leg when he told me what it was due to never seeing one lol, best thing is its only done 53K miles as its in KM :)
stants Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Ooh nice they are like rocking horse !Removed!. Only ever seen a couple here, one being driven by a chap in his 60's nearly turned round and made him an offer. i was looking for one a couple years back but the only one i found was pricy. Can't see the pics to clearly on my phone, that a R34 front ?
Ash007ks Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 Its a R33 Front end thats fibreglass and will be going for the original item as looking at sprucing it up for when i sell it, there are two on eBay at the moment that arnt even M spec like this is and there on at 12k, Skylines seem to hold there money pretty well and i was surprised at how good it is, and Straight 6 Turbo's Noise is just wow. Its coming to play tonight :) 1
quit Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 The r32 is a 4 pot so someone put a rb25det in it ?
Ash007ks Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 Excuse me what ? which bit is it that shows its 2.5 ?
quit Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 The r32 is a 4 cylinder rb20det mate , the later r33 ran the 2.5
Ash007ks Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 all i know is its pretty quick haha, ill get martin to have a look tonight
quit Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Looks like a 2.0 in pic but I'm on my phone lol I love skyline 32s they get rare these days but I would love a rb25 powered 32 , you can pick up the coupe models for under. 1500 quid but rotten and need work I worked on a couple 33s my mate has had think he has had 7 in total ! They rarely go wrong mechanically wise
Ash007ks Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 this is running standard boost as well, but is an absolute animal in the wet, but as soon as you let off it it corrects itself lol. yeah the GTst you can get for chips, but sedans and GTR seem to hold there money well. Mate is getting an GTR R32 imported from Japan in the coming months and its a right animal.
Jay762 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 nice one buddy - looks like you got a great deal there and as stated they are pretty solid - some of the early s13 / sylvia engines had issues with cams - being described as chocolate, although I had no such issues
Ash007ks Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 Its really lumpy on Idle when its cold but once warm its great, all ive heard regarding this one is to leave the boost alone as standard T3 is chocolate.
quit Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Rb25 can run 500bhp no prob !! My mate had a orange one on 19s was evil and !Removed! fast !! Used to scare porkas !!
Ash007ks Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 His is coming in at 450bhp, but tbh hes a wimp cause he has 4wd ;)
quit Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 They only 4wd when you need it not permanent like the Scoobs Think you can make them rwd perm tho
Ash007ks Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 you can just take the fuse out of the gtr as well
mfnick Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Awesome! Looking forward to seeing this in the metal.
Ash007ks Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 Car will be up for sale in the next week or so once new gear knob and gaiter are here. Will be looking for offers around 9k which is under the recommended guide price of 11k but need it gone :)
quit Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 11k for a gtst ? It's a really nice looking car mate but think that's really optimistic
Ash007ks Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 ah i missed off that its the M spec which is the rarer variant. :)
quit Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Well good look mate , to put it in prospective you can get a r33 gtr for sub 8k !
