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.

Maybe if cars didn't degrade with time.

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.

it takes an hour and a half to get to dandenong from here. and that was with traffic lol.

but some people need/want the car gone quickly, so they drop the price to make it more attractive than others.

Good friend just picked up an S1, recent respray in XR6 purple, similar mods to yours, 18inch rims, teins ect, 5 speed, kays much the same ect ect.

$8500.. now thats clearly a wholesale price, however I still can't still your car selling for much more then $12kmax

I Dont think the market is down at all. More a natural depreciation thing as the cars get older the same as any other vehicle.

I bought mine as a largely unraped with basics mods car for 13 grand 3 months ago. Owner started at 17500 as did some others I was looking at. Most were willing to sell at or near the price I paid.

Skylines arent an appreciating asset, They are a car and within a short time they will be worth bugger all due simply to their age. Take a look at any similar performance sedans or coupes, turbo fords or hsv type holdens etc. the price of them after 10/15 years of use is probably worse than that of a line. All things considered skylines even as grey imports do as good as most out there in holding value.

i dont just have it advertised here. is on NS.com, carsales, carpoint, trading post, and the newspaper. its also on ebay at the moment too.

i wont be buying a skyline again thats for sure. depreciate $3k in 12 months? f**k that for a joke. and i know new cars lose out as soon as they leave the lot so stfu. but a used car? christ even commodores hold their price well till a new model comes out.

Are you in for some shocks as you get older. Go buy a commie right now then go try and sell it tomorrow.

At the end of the day a car is really worth what someone is willing to pay ...... you are going to get a stupid offer/people trying their luck every now and then .... but if you get three or more in a row around the same figure ..... then maybe you should reconsider yor offer. If you are getting interest at the price its at ... then keep it at that. Throw the fishing line out there ..... if you don't catch anything - then it's time to consider a different type of bait.

and there's people who try to sell a multiple times damaged r34 gt-t for 45k

i swear that duche is living in a fantasy world

lets see how market value works out of him!

Don't go lower than $13k. A top series II R33 will fetch $17k, but most will be $15-$16k.

Series 1 isn't as desirable as the series II so you have to factor this in. I'd say $13.5-$14k is a very reasonable price to be asking. Also, most ppl find examples that haven't been boosted, have aftermarket ecu's etc more desirable. Good luck. :PBJ:

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!!!

cars arent an investment, what did you think was going to happen!! :blink:

and yes, you can get 1995 series 1 r33 gtrs now a days for 25k - BUT try find an original (not resprayed, non abused and sensibly modified) example for $25k - you get exactly what you pay for and its almost guranteed you'll have to put another 10k into it soon after you get it to keep it running. i literally looked at around 40 before i found mine.

with this guys car here - it seems pretty well treated - and he deserves around the 13k mark, no less. series 1 gtst's in almost original condition like this can be hard to find now a days.

sure some dude on the thread said here that his mate bought one resprayed in xr6 purple for 8.5k, but dude - why was it resprayed? is it 2 half cuts? was it hail damaged? was the paint even prepped properly - how do you know it wont just peel in a few months time - too many unanswered questions and too many risks.

im sure a smart buyer will pick this one up eventually, but in the end - you seriously do get what you pay for!

hey man i know wat u mean... its hard to sell a 33 these days... im trying to sell my series 2, i paid 22k for it 2.5 years ago, which was cheap at the time, iv since spent 15k on it and now i cant even find someone that will pay $20k... i mean i have no idea wat is going on these days...

i had a mitsubishi magna that lost 5.5k in 18 months , i dont think you really grasping the concept of a depreciating asset

in comparison to crap aussie cars like magnas and falcadores they actually have good depretiation . my brother has a vt v8 commodore and that thing has dived in the last year or 2 , worth 11-12k tops . some imports like manual 34 gtts , TT supras and nice 32 gtrs have been going up a bit in japan recently as there quite sought after.

I sold a 95 sedan for 14.5k a year and a bit after I bought it for 14k . i had spent a bit on it , fmic , xforce exhaust , powerfc but those sorts of mods dont really add much and there just for enjoyment more than anything so dont add 15k your buy price and think thats what its worth with 15k of mods.

problem i think was you might have asked a little to much originally , you can get really nice s1 94-95s here at dealers for 15-16k with a warranty , all just detailed , paintwork fixed , dents taken out , new tyres , brakes etc . so really you should have started at about 14. 13-14 is a good price for a price s1 if its in good condition which yours may or may not be . some peoples idea of good condition varies greatly with mine so....

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
