Am i asking too much? i paid $15k for it a over year ago and have only added 15000kms since then even tho its a daily. i also had a new HD clutch put in that wasnt cheap and new speakers, headunit etc.

why is it that the highest offer that i have gotten is $11500? sure i may need it sold soon but with me still owing a bit less than $5k on it, it would only leave me with about $5k for a another car and to get out of this shithole of a town. im gunna get pissed if i keep getting these stupid offers compared to what im asking.

Would have thought it was a reasonable price. I would say your hard points of sale would be the front bar, side stickers and the dodgy photo quality. Try to get some better quality photos. Take your p plate off and I think remove the stickers. Then get some good photos. Good luck with it

Too right, shopping lists on the side of cars is a major deterrant for most people. I never look at cars with "performance stickers" on the side, it means there is a better chance that the driver thrashes the car and feels the need to race everyone he lines up against at the lights.

you will eventually get a resonable price. just got to be a little patient and be prepared to negotiate. i was luck enough to pick my 1.5 95 line with 88,oooks for only 11. then i see some people selling stock 32s for 12.. so it all depends on the right buyer for your price.. some people are desparate, others arent. luck of the draw when it comes to a few thousand either side of the general market value. good luck with it anyway.!

theres a 10 sec gts-t here some where i saw for $17/18 k with over $20k of mods! i think $14k is a great price for a series 1 . spare a thought for us poor buggers that have paid $25k for series 1 6 to 7 years ago and spent $20 plus k. theres always people being bent over harder than you ! i could have bought a 95 gtr for $65k back in 2000 but instead i bought my series 1 gts -t for $25k. now 95 gtr are gong for $25 plus k!!!

Stand your ground & be patient as others have mentioned .... besides if the car yard near my house can try and sell a rough as 93 S1 with hectik chromies for $19,990 ;) (which has a deposit taken sign on it!) I don't see why you won't get $14k or close to it............

Unfortunately all the people that are desparate to sell are pushing the price down to $11-12k for an R33 with a few mods. So really, not much you can do.. There will always be somebody willing to let the car go for a stack less than you are, simply because there are so many around, and lots of others desperate to sell.

Being 'in the country' doesn't help either, as it's a couple of hours drive from melb if people want to look at it.

we all should not let this happen, no one should sell cheap. if all skyline owners didnt let them sell cheap, they could keep the market steady.

buyers cant buy a skyliner33gtst for 11k if no one will sell them one for 11k. if u catch my drift.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
