[@RaitisRides]

Thank you so much for sharing that extra info and input!

[@roguetrader1857]

They're not as common as they used to be. Back in 2000 to 2006, they were very common and I used to envy my mate for having a well looked after R33. In 2009, I finally had the chance to own one. I still have today. The only problem now is registering them as a lot of mechanics do not want to touch them anymore. I asked for a few local mechanics in Sydney and they did not wanna do any blueslip. I just gave up in the end. I figured, if it cannot belong in the streets, it will find its way in the tracks. If they are kept and looked after, they will hold and increase their value in the near future.

Might want to fix that blow off valve... its capped off with a zip tie, should be re-routed into the intake pipe. Also, these are not bullet proof. The RB26 is much stronger. The RB25 blows head gaskets and bottom end cant hold a whole lot.
