Ok..Who all has seen the "1993" R33 GTS at Nissan Gwinnett for $23,000 :~O ROFL

[EJ25RUN]

So i was driving down pleasant hill earlier and saw a black r33 GTS sitting in their used lot. With nothing better to do i decided to have a look.

I walked over to it and * * hmm prolly............. $25,000 they want?


Now as i went over it i saw that it had the rb25 and whatnot......

i was then approached by a salesman man who said it was

1. $23,000...
2. A 1993...

Now im sure the r33 was released in 1995 and i dont know if obd2 was something done in japan but it sure looked as though the car had a evap canister which i think is something obdII cars come with.....correct me if im wrong!

EDIT... Wikipedia (i know not great source ) says production began Aug 1993 but it still says sold 95-98!

I looked at the vin badge which looked like this

This is a nissan vin found on google images! Its not the one on skyline! It's just there for reverence


Heres some questions i got bout the vin

what is the actual vin for a japan car? ~ Firewall said ECR33- and five numbers. (i know E = rb25, C = 4ws r33 = duh)

what is a model number?

and where can you tell the vehicle year? ~ cause no way its a 1993!

[RandomGuy]

i want to see where you can tell the year of the car and that one pic is all i could find.

i know usa vins are 17 symbols long....but i was wondering

1. what is a Vin for a japan car look like.
2. What is a "model number" on a nissan vin badge

the skyline had a proper japan vin badge that looks exactly like the 240 one i posted

[RandomGuy]

you do know that production date and year model are two completely different things right?

my 83 year starion, was made in aug of 82

and my 1987 starion says manufactured in +++, japan 1986

yes i do as you can see i put in post #1.

but... a production and sell year are different..... that why your 87 starion is a 87 starion...... ive read to believe that the first "sell year" of r33s was 1995

[WhiteAccord]

NEWSFLASH

Most the cars brought in were by Motorex. Motorex got busted for doing this. All cars they registered and applied for a VIN were all classified as R32 skylines. So you bought a new R34?? Well Motorex wasn't allowed to sell cars 95 or later. What did they do? They claimed everything as a R32 and gave it a older production date.

There is no such thing as a "Japanese VIN" They don't use VIN numbers for JDM cars. They all get serial numbers. Japanese serial numbers are NOTHING like a US VIN. All Skylines brought through Motorex had special assigned VINs.

Now if it truely had a VIN plate, then it was fraudulently aquired.

If you really want to know (in case i missed something), contact Tripper at Cool Cat Racing, he can tell you EVERYTHING.

GTS? Uggg...

No GTR, no care. Seriously. If you are going to spend the money, get a converted GTR. Anything less is a waste in my opinion...

[Alan®]

I have seen it I have pictures but they are at my house. I went by there and looked at it on saturday they wanted 27k and they said it was AWD. I disputed it with him and the guy told me I was an idiot

Well, they DID make some AWD GTS's...

However, I still stand by my statement: No GTR, no care.

My buddy had a '94 R32 GTR (one of the first in the US back then). It was nice I guess, but it lacked in looks.

ECR33 = RB25, 4 Wheel steering, R33

it would have to be ECNR33 for it to have AWD....

Ruiner... i agree 100% on the "Has to be GTR"... im just tryin to figure if what the Gwinnett Nissan is doing is legal. I just dont think there is a way that car is a 93 unless whoever traded it in lyied to them about it.

Oh ..... i got the salesman to say what the dealer paid for it

Probably not much the owner traded it in on a Z

[EJ25RUN]

no not compared to what they want for it....

i think you said earlier the salesman said $27,000 is what they want for the car?

Haha divide that by half

R32s look just like S13 silvias IMO. The only way they look good is hammered on big wheels with a body kit.

and yes, they are worthless if they arent GTRs.

[JITB]

myopinionis, if they werent so selfish and bad business men, they would be millionaires by now.. especially with the jdm madness goin on today.

[Elbow]
