You need PWR like this;

He hold boost for like 10 seconds, watch right till the end of the clip :P

Nice flameage

Link doesnt work, another volvo?

ok opinions people

What price should I put on my cars?

the R33 is pretty stock, low kays with upgraded suspension, intercooler and exhaust

the R32 well it has one of every thing

I'm going to be honest here with the R33, not because it had crossed my mind to buy, but Ive looked at a few now.

My friend bought his 94 that has been repainted in GTR purple, 18's, adjustable teins, full exhaust, big FMIC, 400r body kit and a mild sound system for $8500 with roughly 115,000 - 120,00kays. To date it's only needed a turbo to manifold gasket.

I'm going to look at a forced sale R33 maybe next week, he wants $8300, but I know I can get it for $7k. Although it needs paint in a few area's.

I think your R33 to sell is a $9,000 - $10k car. I think it'll be hard pressed to get much more. I've seen a few SII's come up for low teens now..

Your R32 on the other hand.

My mate paid $18k for JapTaxis built rb26/R32 gtst. And your car has ALOT more on it in terms of a total package. I can buy my old R32 back for $23k, so anything in the middle of those two price's.

R33 GTST put $14k on it...but accept 12 if offered, no lower

R32 GTST put $20K on it...but accept 16-17 if offered, no lower

R33 GTST put $14k on it...but accept 12 if offered, no lower

R32 GTST put $20K on it...but accept 16-17 if offered, no lower

I'll give you head if Andy even gets a phone call at $14k.

R33's aren't moving at all, I'm worrid if I buy this one for $7k that i wont be able to move it as its so stock

Edited by Nismo_Boy
see andy, ur gonna get reamed sooooo bad if u sell the 32 :worship:

Anything thats:

A) a "Japanese" import

and

B) Turbo

Isn't moving. Look at the top two used car sites, carpoint and car sales. Check the when listed dates at the higher priced cars and check the newer when listed dates of other just listed cars.. What do you notice? Anyone trying to sell a car now has a much lower a price

I'll give you head if Andy even gets a phone call at $14k.

$7k wtf?

Buy it. You aren't going to buy a car to make money from it but in 2-3 years time you can bet your arse you'll still get $7k for it if you keep it in good nick.

$14k is a fair price for a virtually stock 33. I can get them in the country for 11-12. The market up here is of no importance to the market down south. And there is always going to be P platers wanting them in a few years.

Every car I have owned and bought was to make money on, which I did with the exception to my quick R32, my Lexus and my BMW. I had to stop buying imports to profit from when bought the quick R32, as the profit in it just wasn’t enough.

I’m not saying $14k isn’t a fair price, I’m just saying it wont sell, or not quick anyway. The market for R33’s is crap at the best of times; the people who do want them have a surplus amount to choose from and can realistically be picky with price and car.

Morgs on here is only asking around $12k - $13k from memory for his wife’s R33, which would have to be one of the cleanest I can find for sale.

cool I was thinking 10-11k for the 33 and 20k for the R32 so good to see my idea is about the right price

My other option is to put a stock rb25 in it and sell the other engine then sell the car, not sure what would get me more money

And as for getting reamed I have been getting reamed every day by the car so who gies a f**k lol

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
