You never get value for the money you put into a car. At the end of the day yeah it has 300kw but it's still 20 years old. No one cares what you spent.
Max you'll get imo is $9.5k

Price drop: $8k

Hello all!
For sale is my Nissan R33 Skyline GTS-T 40th Anniversary Edition. I've owned this car for 2 1/2 years now and it's brought me nothing but smiles. It's been lightly modified with the following modifications:
Front mount intercooler
Exhaust - HKS Super Dragger turbo back
Pod filter
Electronic Boost controller - GFB G-Force II - running 8psi
Turbo timer
Volk Racing 17" Gold coloured rims on Kumho39s - plenty of tread left! the rear rims I believe are 10.5" wide I think, I could be wrong but I run a 255/45/17 on the rear.
Double DIN JVC Stereo with USB input so you can plug in your phone and play your tunes. I bought brand new kicker top of the line speakers when I first bought the car and had them installed also.
I service it every 5,000km with fresh oil & filter. In February 2016 at 198km service was undertaken at Unique Auto Sports with timing belt, water pump, drive belts etc replaced. Whilst there I got them to put fresh oil in too. I've attached a copy of the invoice. Fresh brake pads were put on the rear this year also.
This car is coming up to being 19 years old, there is scratches on the car consistent with a car for this age. On the front bar above the number plate there is nicks and scratches and towards the bottom of the front bar there are small white spots. Mechanically the car is great it's never let me down the only reason for the sale is that I've bought another car. All electronics work apart from the air conditioning. I've replaced the motor that controls the drivers side window as it failed. It's currently sitting on 208,000km - this is only a number, these RB motors are insanely reliable and people run 250-300rwkw out of these unopened 200km+ motors successfully. This is only lightly modified and has been serviced with care. The previous owner told me he bought a new IAC valve not long before I bought the vehicle and she still idles beautifully.
Registration is until 31st August 2017. There's no finance, never been in an accident or defected and whoever buys it will enjoy it like I have. Plates will not come with car.
Price: $9, 500
Location: Cronulla
Contact: 0-421810762
I'm not interested in "$6k cash today" or negotiating over the phone. Don't buy the car sight unseen, come and see it.

preferably with extensive experience with RB26 GT-Rs. Would need to be able to do a compression test.The car is in Casula in South Sydney, so being close to there would be a bonus.
If you're gonna be dropping $30k+ you want someone who knows RB's like you said. Unigroup.

Anyone going to bypass Church St to Homebush M4?
Is $4 (one way) fair?
Is the increase on the M5-East justified?
Do you think there'll be a traffic jam at Church St offramp in the mornings? And will it be only temporary?
If there's a traffic jam at Church St, will the offramp at Cumberland Hwy get congested?
Might the M4/M5 Toll cause you to switch to public transport?
People already get off at Church Street because after Church Street is where the worst congestion is already. Depends where you're going, though. Parramatta road will become more clogged if that's even possible.
The M4 is always riddle with accidents at the Homebush bay drive off ramp and the M4 stinks in general. Now we're going to have to pay for the pleasure of driving on it? For just 1 more lane? To me it's a lose lose.
I work and tend to travel outside of peak hour times so this does not benefit me at all.

I need new rear rotors/pads for my R33 GTST '98. My cars stock, I daily it. I never track it... the rare/occasional spirited drive through the hills.
Will these suffice?
And I need some advice on which pads?
Preferably Bendix but I'm not sure which ones are most suitable for my needs?

Made sure the plugs are gapped correctly, I had this exact problem and gapping the plugs correctly fixed it. Inspect the coil packs (mine were fine) also.

Probably best to PM offers mate. Free advice, asking for less than half of the asking price is close to a spit in the face.

Now for the seriousness; why do owners feel ripped off? The car is performing the way it did when they bought it.
It's a different story for the government... The cars are generating too much waste and there are broken rules etc etc, but why are the owners unhappy ? (Despite it now being shit hard to sell a diesel vw now..)
Because the owner can feel bad as they've contributed to the excess waste. At the end of the day they've bought the car that's supposed to be within regulations and it wasn't. The argument cannot be made that "This doesn't bother you" when put simply, how do you know that? Just because they didn't buy a Prius doesn't mean they don't care about the Environment.

I've never owned a GTR, nor have I ever been in one. But I've had an EVO 7 with 235awkw and it was a fun expensive pig of a thing. It was my daily and it has got to be one of the worst dailys out there. Weekend car only.
# Poor turning circle
# Peanut sized fuel tank
# The Recaro's are extremely uncomfortable on your thighs
# Driving position was lacking, I felt way too high
Handed like it was on rails, brakes were excellent, gearbox was snick and precise. Gave you total confidence in the corners.
But in the end it didn't feel special at all, it felt like as Jeremy Clarkson would say 'it's just some car'
I owned a 33 GTST once upon a time before this, lo and behind I now drive a 33 GTST and it feels 100 x more special than the EVO ever did.
With that said, a GTR must feel a hell of a lot more special than a GTST so my vote is the GTR.
I think the question is flawed though. What does 'better car' mean? value/looks/performance/price/maintenance/responds to mods the best? See what I mean.

I have a HKS Dragger exhaust on my GTS-T. Sounds kinda deep but in saying that RB's don't sound all that deep. I know what you're saying but in the end deep = v8.
Screamer isn't deep either.

Definitely, definitely... a Gallo 24 GTX

This.

For me when my car was miss firing my plugs weren't gapped properly. They were about 1mm gap, lowered to 0.6mm and it runs mint under WOT all the way to redline in any gear.

Everyone has already said this but you don't seem to want to do it. Take it to a reputable tuner who knows nissans/rb26's. If you make that $1k a day then f**k me you can afford to take it down to Perth.
A lot of tuning shops offer a car service for $55 a day. Or just go down there early and make a day of it?
Wrong/poor tune can end badly. I drive a lowly old GTST and I won't let the 'local bloke' touch my car!

He probably means someone left a deposit then pulled out?
Or was sick of the texts
"Whats your best price?"
"Wil u taek 16k today???"

Everyone's obviously too cool for school when it comes to this so here's what I've got to say. Search function doesn't reveal anything of substance in relation to this matter however I'm probably using it wrong. And the information is probably old and things certainly do change. The argument that "you must do a search" only to find a thread from 2009 is potentially irrelevant. Things change.
Mate I don't know where you are based but if you want power upgrades there are a few that come to mind in Sydney.
Unique Auto Sports (Seven Hills)
Unigroup Engineering (Girraween)
Croydon Racing Development (Rydalmere)
Unigroup have a very good reputation here and I've never once heard a bad thing about them. The owner Yavuz always gets a good wrap, however he is on the pricier side so I'm told. I personally don't take my car there but I'm just stating what I've read on here. The ONLY reason that I mention Unigroup is because of what I've read and the workshop receives more praise than others on here.
I suggest doing your own research on the workshops, but I would be more inclined to go see them in person and talk about exactly what you want out of your car. If you don't know what that is yet I suggest you think about what you want to do and with a budget in mind so they can guide you further.
Good luck.

How much for power fc + hand controller?
-
I think you need to clarify with your friend 100% on what he means because you're claiming 80k spent on the motor which for what you said has been done simply wouldn't cost that much.
