It's official.

My Skyline, formerly known as MUD76, is now in new hands.

She served me well for 5 long years, but times change and it was no longer practical for me.

I have had my heart set on a V35 for ages but I will hold off on a car for a while (will use money to invest in a couple of short term projects).

I will continue to MOD and be a as active as I can with SAU QLD in the short term.

In the mid - long term I will look to pass on the Mod battern, so I'll keep my eye out and make a recomendation to admins when I've had enough and decide to leave.

(I told myself I wouldn't cry)

Cheers

M

Yeah the market sucks atm...

But thats only cause the AUD is very strong against the Greenback atm...

Give it a few months and the price of imports will rise again a solid 15%...

I think ill hang onto mine until the US dollar re-gains strength...

What a load of shit!

How does the US dollar effect the price of cars that are already in the country?

Actually how does it effect the price of cars coming from Japan either?

If anything, a strong $AU makes things cheaper from overseas.

Back on topic :pirate:

I felt I got a reasonable price and a pretty quick sale.

Stronger $AU means cheaper importation which means cheaper prices on resale from both the cars coming in and the cars already here.

However, the primary problem with import resale is basic supply and demand. There were so many skylines and like vehicles imported pre the 89 ruling that they are now effectively a dime a dozen and nothing will change that. The price will level, but not rise and once they get older it will just continue to fall. Not to mention with the new P plate laws, the price will continue to fall as the next generation of teenagers realise they can't buy a skyline which, like it or not, accounts for much or at least some of the skyline market. Unfortunately for sellers the days of 20k r33's are well and truly gone, good for buyers though.

    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • 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
