With the new laws coming in I suspect the market will fall out of the skylines in QLD.

this is a good point actually

it's amazing the amount of import yards that have opened up trying to get a piece of the action, even in coorparoo there's an old caryard that got revamped and now has skylines ahoy in it

all these crappy little businesses thought they had a goldmine, now it's about to go splat

i only hope that this doesn't make skylines a ton harder to buy in future, say if someone wanted to buy say a 32 for fun =P

You see R32 GTRs trying to sell for 18,500 and not selling... So yeah... luck :)

I was going to sell mine and get a R32 GTR... buy as it appears the efforts as most definately pointless.... So I shall keep my car and work on it :)

You could always try boostcruising (er...), performanceforums.org (I think... google performance forums with pages from australia only selected) and you could try nissansilvia.com, the trading post... I don't know anywhere else off the top of my head.

Good luck, you've got I want (R32 with R33 engine) but alas, can't get rid of mine :D

yeah good luck - the market has changed dramatically. I'm trying to sell my R33 GTR now. Makes it hard not many people want to pay 20 for a car that's 17 years old.

Now days its cheaper to buy a car here in oz than it is to import which sucks.

thanks for the input, ive chucked it on trading post and boostcruising as well as car sales now so here's hoping. I'm negtoiable but i do think it's a fair price if stock 32's go for around the high teens. I'm sure somone out there can see the value in my mods. If u think otherwise feel free to let me kno

rims, power fc + tune, z32's, brakes, clutch, rotars, ENGINE and alarm weren't cheap so whatever Einstein, you let me know. My numbers there if u wanna come round for a chat

Yeah good luck on the sale. Skylines are near impossible to get rid of atm. And you have to remember mods are worth nothing on a cars resale. I spent close on the value of your 32 on Mods on my 33 GTR, quality mods too fixing all the GTR weaknesses, ie; suspension, brakes, cooling, oil supply issues etc. . . . plus some HP mods and I still ended up losing $15K on the original cost of importing the thing stock when I sold it! Not even including the cost of modding it aswell! So yeah, chances are you will have to bite the bullet and loose the money if you want to move it, or as said earlier own it for a long long time and get your $$s worth.

Keep it, that is what I have decided to do. Just did the suspension and brakes (engie rebuild, computer zort already done) now the intercooler and then I will just drive it.

Might as well enjoy my moniesworth instead of flogging it off for something that I don't really need anyway...

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
