78k mileage. 1993 R33 GTS-Turbo in absolutely fantastic condition for the year. Interior is standard apart from the bucket seats (more pics to follow).
The car was last RRd at 292bhp and I have a copy of the printout with the car, and it has since been fitted with a brand new Apex Performance FMIC and hard pipe kit at a cost of around £700 including labour (which was carried out at Hyeline performance specialists literally a few weeks ago).
It has been converted to MPH and derestricted (Ive taken it to 140mph on a private test track, so I can vouch for this myself) It comes with a full APEXi exhaust system from turbo back, including downpipe and decat (cat included with sale for MOTs), 18" Ultralite alloy wheels in good condition (minor kurbing on 2 but nothing serious) with good condition Nankang tyres all round, Inducion kit, new spark plugs fitted 200 miles ago, splitfire coil packs, blitz BOV and another intercooler included in teh sale that was purchased before getting the apex performance one to go with the matching hard pipe kit.
The clutch has just been replaced for a brand new genuine Exedy one at MGT Racing in Nuneaton at a cost of £547.
Bad points; There was a small engine fire caused by heat from the turbo melting old breather pipes above, all the damage has been repaired apart from the under bonnet lining (which I was never fussed enough about to change), and some of the paint peeled off the bonnet above (smaller than palm of your hand) It has been sprayed with a rattle can just so the damage isnt easily visible, but you may want to respray the bonnet if it bothered you.
The car is currently at my parents house in Hereford as I decided to leave it there on the way back from Birmingham airport instead of risk the clutch going on NYE on the way back home to Aberystwyth and missing the party, so some of the details may well have been left off. I will update this as and when I think of more bits to add
Reason for sale: I planned to take this car to around 375bhp but have decided to sell now and save for a while longer to buy a more powerful car that has already been set up. I will honestly be very sad to see it go, the exhaust sounds absolutely fantastic, a nice burble on tickover, almost silent in traffic and general cruising, but sounds awesome when you put your foot down!

I got my insurance policy for less than £900 a year @ 23 with 4 years no claims, and the car will do almost 30mpg if driven sensibly, so it could well be more affordable than you first thought 
EDIT - Price would help! Looking for £3495
