best bet is to hold onto it, love it and spend your money in the right place and it will hold value.

they don't hold their value unfortunatly especially because of the supply and demand thing

i think we all wish they did....

its all sentimental value, you love the car, you've spent xxxxxx amount of dollars on it, you'll never get it back on a R33

And a car is not an investment. You always lose money unless you got a great deal when you bought it.

Wrong....if you have an Aussie Muscle car...got one in the showroom for 700k....

very true... even now the american muscle cars are an investment

my mate had a original VL walkinshaw about 6yrs back, he sold it for around $25k but motor was fully worked etc.. and it was a fully restored car

only a couple weeks back my friend baught a walkinshaw that has to be restored for i think around $50k he was saying

i dont see this happening with an r33 lol

Awesome story... Needed space invaders and Tim Allen.

My HG GTS Monaro will sell for more than I paid for it! When I buy my next import, R34 GTT or JZX100 Chaser I Think Ill keep it for a long time. To much mucking around to sell.

Im only really selling as I am bored of it, 33's are great cars to drive & modify, but ive had it for over 6 years and want something new, something a bit more hi-tech, something newer, something really different to a 33gts-t. So im in a loose loose situation really. Either drop the price to some stupidly low figure just to get rid of it.......or throw more good money at bad to keep me interested in the car. Either way it'll be loosing money.

Guess it may not be worth re-spaying it a custom colour, as mentioned that would really only attract younger buyers tending to be more interested in street attention then quality of car. Which unfortunatly now.....is illegal for them to drive on P's anyway. Might just add a Nismo/Mines stripe or something?

keep the feeback / opinions coming, makes for an interesting read, some very valid points being made thats for sure!

maybe if you tidy it up a little, not saying its shit or anything but these people these days would be very picky in buying a s1 r33, if you clean it up cos your pics make it look like its a bit rough just say, might attract more buyers i maybe...

seriously i'm not just saying its not worth the money you're asking, really it is worth it cos in the long run people would spend more than that modifying it true?

also the p-plater laws like you said dont help, people these days are wanting the sleeper look, your car looks very agressive might attract more attention

but really it looks tuff ;)

dismantle the car and sell it for parts......probably would get more back.

yeah I've been doing that a little, sold my customcarbon bonnet, carbon d wing, sports seats an a few other small parts. I just dont want to wreck the car by stripping it back much more. but your right. I may have to to get any kind of decent money back

It could be far worse...stop crying your cars are only worth so much because thats what you have been offered.

:D:) :)

If you had bought a Monaro Fully optioned for 95K...5 years ago and have to sell it for 45K now.

If you had bought a Porsche,BMW,Mercedes you would have lost 40% of the cars value in 5 years.

Sure if you want to keep it for 40 years...it will be a collectors item...and worth good money.

Personally I would strip what I could off the car(that is if you don't want it no more) and sell it to the highest bidder.

Where have you advertised your car?..I am sure you have not covered all your market

Good luck with your sale....

as someone thats in the market for a skyline right now and that happens to be the first car off my p's, i have some very specific tastes. Two of them are black/silver with a sunroof, in a 96/97 series II. I can't speak for everyone that would be looking at your car, but I assume theres others there like me who would not bother even looking at your car because of it being white. Personally I would spend more on a stock car with these features, than a modded white one without them.

its very hard to get the money these cars are worth these days, I was wondering that if it was a custom colour, would you be more likely to sell it & get a decent price for it??

whats your opinion?

my 33 is just white, its an awsome quality car that ive spent heaps of time & money in getting all the right top quality bang for buck mods, yet i've had such little interest. If I gave it a good quality low budget re-spray (lots of friends that are spray painters), think it'd get more interest?

have you recently sold a Skyline? what colour was it an how long did it take to sell? did you get what you were after for it?

look forward to seeing people feeback

cheers

Hate to say but by the look of your car's photo,

You've got GAY RIMs and GAY body kit, GAY side mirrors. No offence and i appologise if i do but a skyline that has been done up the JDM way always win more heart than any other ways.

Neat, simple and nice.

I also lost more than 10K when i sold my GTR but that's just a part of the game, i've had enough fun with it, simple though i'm planing to buy a 33gtr next year or so, damn gotta miss that 2.6 zorst note.

lol....no offence taken. Whats wrong with black BBS wheels? Whats wrong with stock mirrors? and the Veilside rear bar isnt everyones taste, but you dont like 400R sides an a genuine GTR front bar?

i think it looks neat simple & nice.....but maybe im wrong (or maybe you think it still looks the same as my signature picture an havent looked at my for sale thread?)

:D

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
