Guys,

Thinking of selling my heavily modded SI R33 Skyline GTS-T 2 dr.

Can people who have sold or tried to sell their modded R33s discuss how they went? Did it take too long to sell, did you have to sacrifice price below what you thought you'd honestly get, etc etc.

I have most stock parts and I am therefore thinking either of two options:

1. Pay speed shop to take it back to near stock (I have no time) and trade in on new car. Then sell all of my good bits.

2. Sell car as is (i.e. modded) and sell all the stock bits. Buy new car seperately.

Thanks in advance for advice.

Cheers,

Lachlan.

If your only thinking about selling, and your not desperate for money, slap a price tag that you want to get for the car. Let the people come to you, and the serious one will come if your prepared to wait for them.

I hate seeing people that are desperate to sell cutting like 6-8 grand off the price tag just coz they need a quick sale - thats gotta hurt.

I bought my car a few months ago from a guy in QLD, it's had alot of work done to it but it is exactly what I wanted so I lucked out. Looking at it from the sellers point of view though it is never as good with modified cars, what I paid for mine with approx 20g's of work done to it within the last year I could have paid MORE for a dead stock one here in Melb. My advice, if you aren't in a rush to sell it put it up for sale as is, it might just be exactly what someone is looking for, if it doesn't sell put it back to stock and sell all the goodies of individually. In the long run though you will definatley get more money the latter way though.

Thanks guys.

I've decided to take bits off and trade in as stockie on new car. From a timing perspective, it will work better for me and that's worth something at this stage. CBF having people come over and kick tyres etc.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
