Teenage me playing Gran Turismo never would have expected to own a car like this. They are going to put up some videos on youtube when the importer gets it. Used Pacific Coast Auto.
Won this under budget surprisingly and it has some interesting mods. Nismo N1 engine with R34 NUR turbos with unspecified
cam upgrade
. All other mods seem fairly mild.
Initial pic.

Legit? I love the R33, definitely the unsung hero of the 32-34 series.

Also, Lam just rescinded the bill! Holy shit!

Yeah, I didn’t see that one coming. That’s one of the 5 demands, I’ve got the popcorn ready.
Technically, the motion needs to be filed when the council is back in session next month, but that’s probably fine.

One of my friends in high school moved to the us from HK. His father sold their textile business having seen the writing on the wall. Incredibly different mindset from mainland Chinese friends I had at University.

The R30/R31's were the real underdogs.....:p

Wow. That's really cool. Remember to share some pics when you get delivery.

No doubt, and that’s why I said o f the 32-34 series.

Congrats! You and I have occasionally shared our love for the oft-overlooked R33, and it pleases me to no end that one of us now has one. (It was always going to be you.)
Once you have it in your possession, I (and many others, a nd I’m sure) will live vicariously through you. You'll have to post mkre often. ^_^

Well, you win oppo this month!

Uh, when and if you ever get tired of it and are ready to sell , let me know.

Dope, congrats! B interior, 3.5 exterior. Great price too!

Not sure I interpret “writing on the wall” the same way you do, but a textile business in HK in the colonial days
probably operated on a cost-competitive basis, which means it would have had
difficulty
surviving
past the early 90s in HK unless they went boutique.

Well done.
What kind of site did you look for the auctions? I used to use some sites but my memory is not helping me with this one.

I understood it, albeit as a young bloke, as being the government wanting way too much allegiance to the central state.

Those tk side stickers get me so excited. I’d kill for their take on the Z32, the
M30Z

Good choice! I’ve watched PCA for years...great You
tube channel and Derek seems like a nice and fair guy. Keep us apprised and ask him to slip some sort of manual Kei car in the glovebox for me! :P

Holy shit it’s perfect, I didn’t think there’d be a R33 that I’d want more than a 400R.
![]() 09/05/2019 at 09:44 |

I can’t think of many cars I’d want more. This is awesome!

Doug had bad taste leaving R34 wheels on that R32. It looked like a donk.

Pacific Coast Auto and their guest account is what I use. I’d link it right now but my work blocks foreign sites, you should be able to google them no problem.
![]() 09/05/2019 at 11:21 |

Ya it should be pretty nice. The 3.5 exterior seems to be because the paint is peeling in the trunk area, shouldn’t be too expensive to fix.
![]() 09/05/2019 at 11:23 |
|
lmao. I plan on doing a few things with it maybe i’ll get a go pro and record like i’ve been thinking about. Autocross is one thing I want to try with this car.
![]() 09/05/2019 at 11:24 |

Oh, for sure. They are going to send me a detailed youtube video as well and i’ll post that.

The jealousy is huge. That’s my favorite Skyline and color....
The love/hate for you is strong.... Congrats, though!
![]() 09/05/2019 at 12:21 |

Yeah, for the price you got it, you have a lot of room before you are in the red.
![]() 09/05/2019 at 13:26 |

Wait, did I miss where he said what he paid? He just mentioned he got it under budget.
![]() 09/05/2019 at 13:31 |

I have access to the Japanese auction system and results, so I can see it. U p to him if he wants to disclose.

Yeah r33 has always been my favorite. Love the way they look.

I actually think the BBS wheels they have on t his car look bad but if I get replacement wheels they are going to be 17s. I hate the big wheels look lol.
![]() 09/08/2019 at 18:07 |

I don’t disagree. I’m a huge fan of the NISMO LMGT1 wheels on R33 Skylines !

Your car? :D

Oh for sure. I can’t wait.
I’m already sourcing some parts based on what i saw in the video lol. Like the plastic dash bit.

Eh, it wasn’t quite that bad, but the factory R32 wheels are certainly much more suited to the car -- and great looking at that.
