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

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
