Thinking of selling the silly

[RB20LagWagon]

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..

[macka]

you could probably get 10-15 id say

the only problem is finding a buyer... the market for a car that specific aint too wide

[rob77]

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

[RB20LagWagon]

Yeah, im looking at around 12k but that will be after its all fixed up if someone offered me 9k tomorrow as is. i would have to contemplate it hard. Im bored again need new project.

[rob77]

How about a house? there's a good project And when you spend money on it, it generally increases in value

[RB20LagWagon]

If my house can pull a 10 second quarter perhaps

[rob77]

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

[ix9]

$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.

[adam 32]

id say 18 for a series 1 which looks half decent in a private sale. 14 is a little harsh

[puckish]

I'd say aim it at people who are about to buy a S13 but want something a little different.

Again the cars age and the fact the the CUSTOMER ( not us ) don't know who's done the work and if it's done proper.

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

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

[DCIEVE]

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

[GOT BOOST]

so what happened the other weekend?

did you break anything?

[Nizmo]

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 Hope u get what your looking for!

[RB20LagWagon]

I didnt break anything that wasnt broken beforehand.

As for the price, the initial post was a question im still not sure if im selling, though i do want to start my next project.

What would your motor do in a sedan, i reckon you could get low 12's in a sedan... what about a transplant of the motor into a R32?

[ix9]

Nate... those times were pulled in a sedan, Shaun sold the wagon ages ago...

[RB20LagWagon]

transplant of my engine into a r32? well i think the engine in the r32 could do exactly the same as my engine. Yeah the nick is old but the car is a sedan, and in a r32 i dunno what it would do probably a bit slower? heheh who knows

[Nate]

oohh, it is a sedan... you got pics somewhere LagWagon?

[Butters]

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.
