took couple of months to sell my R33

annoying thing was i paid over $100 for the auto trader 1 week prior to the sale then i get 3 buyers wanted to look after ive sold it

im guessing its all random luck and imports are getting alot cheaper as people are importing ship loads of them

mines been advertise for almost two months now:

autotrader

carsales

sunda times

every forum i can think of

just time wasters ..... but the market is flooded wiht skylines so just got to be patient i guess.

Then again a friend of mine tried o sell his jeep and that took 2 months to sell too.

Yer u might be right. From waht ive seen though teh imports tend to have lower kms (60k or so) vs teh 100k or so on locals.

Though you are right that u can drive teh car now and have less chance of getting lemon. Importers tend to get good cars though most of the time.

perhaps take it off the market for a few weeks and those 'lookers' will think its sold then re-advertise it??

I was also told (took 3mnths to sell my cruiser) that when someone calls act as if you don't want to sell.... People always want what they (think) they can't have :laugh:

ive had my car for semi-sale for a few months now, ive had lots of calls, but no one wants to pay what im asking for it.

ie. i had a guy ring up last week offering me $14,500 for my car, because there are lots of 33's for around that price.

i guess he doesnt realise they have a pod and cat back, whereas mine has a few more dollars spent.

*shrug* im in no great rush to sell it! i just want my god damn bike to stop being delayed :P

  • 1 month later...

Not an import thing mate, i know a couple mates tryign to sell imports and a couple more selling 4 cyl and none are seeling, i recently sold my other car a v8 but was very lucky to get rid of it:

took me 2 months and advertised on carsales n a few other places...

good luck dude, mite have to trade.. :laugh:

try ebay. the car might not actually sell on bids, but you will get interested parties contacting you, inspecting the car etc.

i've sold a few thru ebay, but always as a private sale outside of ebay bidding.

costs you about 5 bucks to list it.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
