Hi Guys,

Long time reader and almost first time poster,

I've been reading the site for quite a while now and been on a couple of the cruises but alas the time has come for me to sell my baby - As I plan to go to europe in 3 months.

What i'm after is just some help from you guys to determine what my car is worth. Since I bought it, i've never really looked around at pricing on other cars or even into selling it.

Its:

1997 Series 2 R33 M-Spec (Has the usual, full electrics, airbags, climat control, hicas etc)

Bog stock

128,000kms - Still drives like new. (127,300 at the moment and will have its next service before I sell it.)

5spd manual

Heavy duty clutch - replaced at 97,000

Car was imported by Autoworx at 89,000kms - I am the first owner since car registered in Aus

Standard R33 Rims - These are a bit scratched, Came like that when bought (Tires all still good)

Serviced every 10,000kms and Oil + filter changed every 5000

After market POD filter fitted

After market BOV bought but not fitted

Was dyno'd at 210RWHP

20% tint done by TKO tinting

Front bar needs a respray - stone chip below driving lights has flaked a bit + someone clipped the front bar with a shopping trolly (white mark) - Although I will be getting quotes to get this done before selling if possible

Interior is virtually immaculate - Drivers seat has small cut in it (Came like that - im guessing from getting in and out of the car) and there is 2 or 3 small holes under the passenger side dash from what i guess used to be a mobile phone cradle

Car always garaged

Prob more stuff I can write, but this isnt a for sale thread or anything, just more a way for me to get an idea what to advertise it for $$ wise. I've been "thinking" about selling it for a while but due to how much I love my car i've been putting it off, but now europe is only 3 months off i've gotto make sure I am ready to go..

Cheers

Adam

I was looking at a 96 S2 R33 with FMIC, Apexi AVC-R, ~ 140'000ks, 17" rims, suspesion, body kit, exhaust Turbo Timer and BOV.

Was an Auto and the owner was selling it for $14'500

So your one beeing a 5 speed and 97 model should go for around $16500

At the end of the day its worth what ever somebody is willing to pay you for it.

Start high that way you can drop the price if it doesnt sell, just keep in mind that these cars have dropped a heap.

You can import an R34 for alot less than you think these days!

Good luck with the sale mate!

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the replies so far.

Just wanted to add RE Kushil Abeysinghe

The car has a stereo in it at the moment, with an MP3 deck and sub, the stereo will be removed and replaced with the stereo it came with which isnt bad but doesn't do MP3's and i'll be leaving the wiring in for the amp's etc.

Its also had its timing belt changed at the 100k service

Cheers

Adam :laugh:

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
