Spotted one this morning. Silver R33 GT-R got me feeling cloud9. Absolutely love R33 GT-R ever since it first came out.

Wonder how expensive are they to run? servicing - how often? cost? part cost?

This apply to R33 in general.

Like anything it will depend on how you drive it I guess, as an estimate i'd say it'll cost more to run than a mondeo and less than a murcielago

I also have a thing for GTR skylines, I think like the supra its those rear lights!

It's TVR/Porsche level, I'd say.

My running costs seem to be going off the map at the minute.

I’ve just sorted out a major service, oil change, diff oil change and gear box oil change, replaced coilpacks with Spiltfires, replaced iridium plugs, I need to replace my disks and pads. Ok disks and pads are costing more as I’m upgrading them and I need 2 new rear tyres.

Non essential stuff is costing a small fortune too but that’s by choice.

Depends- a 4.0 Chim wouldn't have the same running costs as a Tuscan, nor would a 993 Carrera have the costs of a 996GT2...


True. The 993 apparently costs more to service than the 996 according to prices I once saw in an advert. :P

But they're at a similar level compared to the say what someone would pay for a Fiesta.
