Realistically it isn't worth more than say 500 to 700 dollars.

Which is sad cos it's an alright computer for average stuff.

The problem is that Dell and whatnot have pc's with LCD monitors and what not for around 800 or so bucks so that kills the second hand market.

I personally think $600 is a little too much. :(

I would think $400 is reasonable on the basis of what you can get if you buy the system new.

$109 - AMD Semphron64 2800+

$105 - Gigabyte K8NS 754 M/board

$069 - PC3200 Kingston Ram 2 x 256mb = 512mb Total (OR $139 for 1GB)

$065 - Gigabyte ATI 9250 128mb Agp Vid Card

$099 - AOPEN 350w Decent quality Case and PSU

$080 - LG 4167B DVD Burner

$075 - 80GB 7200rpm 8mb Cache Hard Drive

$050 - Second hand 17" Monitor

-----

$652

Selling computers is sad. :P

I would most likely keep it and turn it in to a linux box.

Run IPCOP on it and use the 40gb had drive as a nice little web cache

There are people that have $600 don't look in to what else is available and may stumble upon your system for $600 and buy it so, give it a shot if you sell it BONUS. :(

I actually bought a tower which is better in every way bar the video brand new for $450 from www.zipcomputers.com.au

It's the budget box. With monitor and your vid card you would probably be able to sell it for a bit more if your lucky or around that price.

Good luck!!

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
