Oh yes!

Very old school but a serious piece of kit! Set of wheels and a front lip and they look very tough. Add a decat and a pair of HKS mushrooms and its fun time!!!!

You can pick these up at the docks for sweet FA now too.

Whats the spec?

Re the R33 - Ive come close to buying a few times but its dated for the money you pay, and its soooo long. Will barely fit in the garage. The one I went in had stage one mods and sounded like a race car

Will own an R34 before long

Its totally standard, even the pipe!

33's are far too big and heavy IMO, this feels like a car half its size when your in it.

280 bhp standard, 4WD Atessa system (RWD till you give it a bootfull) HICAS (active rear steering, keeps you out the fields!) Standing 1/4 in around 13.0 secs.

The right side of 5k.

Jees, good price and nice to find a std one!

I trust you are going to treat it to a new exhaust and filters?

Just fitted downpipes, de-cat and 80mm single box cat back.

HKS filters are on the way, exhaust made a good improvement, heard stories of 45 bhp from pipe and filters!

R34 is a lovely car, my friend has a Bayside Blue 34 with 2.8 stroker kit, HKS 25/30 turbos puts out around 600 bhp and does the 1/4 in 11.1, amazing power and a chassis to match, they really are unbelieveable on the road, make you feel like a driving god.

I love the R34 in blue:

Very mean n' snarling!

I was toying with the idea of getting aboard the Skylark, but went for a Prelude in the end.

That is one smart-looking car for the money!
