funny stuff that, yeah look i see nothing wrong with making a low ball offer, so long as the person is serious about the offer has the money and willing to do the deal. a car is only worth the amount people will pay its that simple. i would need a hell of a lot of space to discuss my past experience so i deadset simpthasize with you on ur "sale" ive had sales go as long as 3 and 6 months. now that sucks

Thats so true dude... but i've realised that if someone wants a car bad enough they will pay what you ask but so called 'negotiation' for cars ALWAYS happens. Definition for this topic is "BALL BREAKERS".

Mine was advertised for a price.... I ended up paying that price (with some extras thrown in). I was a bastard about things being road worthy and tyres being decent.

Depending on their asking price, I'll pay, however, it better be in the condition for that price.

Dreams are annoying, give you $200 for a $500 item... err no... well I'll go elsewhere and get better for $250....

Ahh just reminds me so much of boostcruising, always people "That's what worth blah blah" when it's the market rate for the area ;) Too many tossers, but if you want to sell your goods you just be paitent and take it like a man.

Althought, if a person hasn't bought the car within 2 weeks consider him gone, or ask for a higher deposit (eg. they paid $50, then make them pay $500 if it's been 2 weeks, then $1000 more after 4 weeks). Heck they might even slowly pay off the car while it's in your hands haha.

Dealers aren't the only ones that will try to pressure you into buying. The first r33 I looked at was a bit bargain basement re: paint and interior, but the price was an absolute steal. Was almost considering buying it until i took it for a drive and noticed a bit of smoke when you shift gears.... :) when i said i'd get back to him the dude panicked and knocked $500 off his asking price. I'm trying to get away and he knocks ANOTHER $500 off the price. He was practically begging me to take it and he starts getting shitty telling me i'll never get a better deal etc. Then on the way home he rings me to tell me hes had an offer and do i want to make him an offer before he sells it to the other guy :( He just wouldnt give up. I couldve got it for a song but i knew that little bit of smoke was going to be worth big $$$ sooner or later. Not to mention it looked like he'd had a few orgies inside it :D

"i love GTR owners thinking theyre gods mostly cause they have a GTR... "

Yes and the problem with that is... :D *looks adoringly at his GT-R*

"...The f**kwit keeps calling me over the next 2 weeks to see how I'm going and have a chat. Either he wanted to get f**ked in the ass or he doesn't have any friends but at this point I really knew this guy was a headcase f**kwit..."
:(

I know we've moved on to tyre kickers but what about our own back yard...Someone posts their stuff for $XX and the next thing a member is posting that his mate can get one from busted-arse-astan for $xx-10%. then its on...thats crap

luvs it, i take it you are the one selling the big hp r33 gtr. read through your thread many times to see how the sale is going. i personally think if a person were really that interested they would call or PM you for a contact number and take it from there. when i saw my car advertised, recieved some photos, looked at it few days after and went out to buy it with cash/bank cheque. no internet chat required. its a nice gtr, good luck with the sale.

yeah croat thats mine, i get a fair few pms, unfortunatly with that type of car bring that type of interest. but alot of people want to talk and talk, with little if any serious intent.

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • 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.
