    That literally looks like it crashed into a Jag and reversed away with bits stuck to it.

    Came across this ad on Facebook a few days ago and then was just reminded of it on the Donedeal ads on this site.

    Looks good considering the age. I hate the massive wheels though. If I was buying this I would have to change to a set of 16 inch.

    LHD to RHD converted and a gas conversion

    You'd want to be brave

    Lovely looking machine all the same

    They are a dreadful yoke. I actually sold them new back around 2007.

    They do about 10mpg in real world driving if you are lucky. They are very agricultural to drive.

    The F150 was better, but not by much. This generation of truck were still very much work trucks. Today though, the modern ones are completely different, they are pure luxury, like Range Rovers.(and just as reliable in many cases)

    The only Ram 1500 that was worth having, for its pure ridiculousness, is the SRT10 version, with the Dodge Viper engine in them.

    I've a 12 Jeep, pretty closely related. They're heaps of crap.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,820 ✭✭✭✭bear1


    I'd love to know the cost of the RHD conversion..

    The gear knob being 5 foot away doesn't help things


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,278 ✭✭✭✭bazz26


    Is that not the AWD selector as it looks to have a column gear shifter on the steering wheel?

    Nissan Skyline R33 GTR V-SPEC 1995 - 97k miles - asking €44,000

    I know these are basically cult status but that's some asking price.

    The R33 is like the middle child nobody really pays any attention too. It's all about R32s and 34s

    I've noticed in Japan these once they get to 30 years old pricing goes off the wall as they can then be legally imported in to US without complying to loads of legislation which pretty much makes bringing in those newer impossible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,713 ✭✭✭Midnight_EG


    There was 3 times as many R32 GTRs made as there was R33s, and they're certainly climbing in price but 40k would be for a good Series 3, not a meh Series 1 being offered by that lad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,394 ✭✭✭ManOfMystery


    They're a great driving thing, my brother had a 400bhp GTR which he sold to my dad for his private collection, still feels quick even up against modern performance cars. Quite an old school power delivery compared to an R35 but still goes well.

    Yeah this, there were so many r33's over in New Zealand, literally grannies driving them to the shops for the weekly groceries... It's all about 32's and 34's.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,309 ✭✭✭✭wotzgoingon


    I was wondering who you were and then the mention of New Zealand and I knew straight away so I went top your profile and it says it there what your last username was and I was right.

    Does anyone know if someone Is allowed to collect a car during lockdown ? If I was traveling to a neighboring county today with my wife to collect a car I bought online, from main dealer, is this allowed ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,663 ✭✭✭Muppet Man


    I know a lad who has an r34 tuned to about 800 brake (according to him). He reckoned it was worth 100k (again, according to him)

    Price is a bit optimistic though given the condition of the bodywork and the other issues it has.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,278 ✭✭✭✭bazz26


    DD ad says it's had 2 previous owners not that it matters much at that age. Body does look like it's seen a bit of drama alright but there could not be too many of those left on this rock now. A 2004 must be one of the last ones too.

    These issues won’t be cheap to fix

    So Keith is selling it, Liam brought it to the garage and it’s had one lady owner.

    They’ll get every penny. In cash. Mixture of Sterling and Euro I’d imagine.
