Hey guys im thinking about selling the Skyline.

However its only to get some cash together to start another skyline project.

What do you think price i can get.

Here are the specs.

Most Important first. Hehe

Quarter mile time : 12.797 @109 mph

hp : 290 + (on dynometer)

!989 Nissan Sillhuette

Engine specs

RB20det (1992 r32 spec)

Big Front mount intercooler

Modified Plenum Chamber.

4000km High flow VG30det turbo With T04e Compressor wheel

Rated at 450+ hp

GTR Fuel pump

Full 3 Inch exhaust system with some muffler and 2 resonators.

The dump pipe on the turbo is very very good, has a separate wastegate line which connects to the exhaust system futher down. very good for flow and boosting.

Other specs

Autoclutch 9 puck 2400 lb clutch and pressure plate

Mines Modified Ecu

Blitz Dual SBC Boost controller

Bigger GTS brakes

Lowered Suspension

As the car is today there are a few things that could be fixed straight away. These are gearbox and diff mainly which i will get fixed within a month or two.

What type of money would i be looked at getting for this? The car has got easily another .2 or .3 seconds in the quarter mile with a bit of sorting.

It has bigger brakes and rotors that are yet to be fitted as well.

Im also probably forgetting a few things..

I reckon $10k-$12k absolute max. Remember its a 1989 car, depending on its condition. For a few bucks more you can get a stock 180sx or silvia or for a bit more again you can get a r32 or r33 gtst. Given its fairly well modified, but you never get back what you spend on mods. Its a bit of a sleeper like daves volvo :P

$10k - $12k for an 89 car, what are you people nuts?

It's a fast car, yes Lagwagon.. but i'd say you'd be lucky to get $8k for it....

As much as we don't like to admit it, our 1993 'lines are work about $14k in a PRIVATE sale..... there's NO money in it, only loss.

heh... buy more houses in area's where there is huge growth. Make more profit, buy a mines or hks r34 gtr, run 9's down at kwinana... there's a plan :D

And when your 50 lagwagon you could afford your r34GTR cause then theyll be worth the same as your GTS :D

Robbie that would be the smartest idea but that is a long term investment plus like he said a house doesnt pull 10s

hey dude, you will get an easy 10k for it in perth have seen less go for that much but depends on condition. i might be interested at that price as i have been waiting for my r31 since jan, i signed a contract with the importer (it is not a personal import) but the delivery date was for feb 20, wondering if this makes the contract void??? pm me more details on body & condition etc and we can go from there, i have the money just depends on the situation with the contract i have signed, cheers

i got 10K for my 88 ZX so it is possible. But as people said the market aint the great for it and you'll get a lot of tyrekickers! Put it at 10 -12K see how much interest that generates and if people are finding it too high then drop it.

Good luck :D Hope u get what your looking for!

Strich9ine.

A car that runs a 12 comes with a certain price tag, no matter what the year or condition.

Fast times = dollars.

Going back a few years, it used to be a general rule a car that could run 13's was worth 10K min, no matter what year/ condition. Times have changed but principal still applies.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
