ive seen stockers go for as low as 17k, you might wanna look into having it be sold through a car yard, they add there bit on top but you will get what your after. people seem to be willing to pay more to a car yard lol, obviously thats not an option if its your daily though

bit of an exaggeration, but yes the principle is "buy it cheaper and sell it a little higher". They have to make some sort of profit. They do have to cover costs of advertising, wages, servicing + profit.

If you price it well and it isn't a dog then it will sell no matter what the market is like. There will always be a person looking for a good example of these cars...you may just need to wait a bit till they find your ad :nyaanyaa:

Hey guys, just curious...

what you guys think? or is there a statistic regarding R32 GTR in WA?

is it low in supply but high in demand???

Comments please. :nyaanyaa:

Well I just sold mine. In WA too.

It took about a month & I didn't have a huge number of enquiries. Maybe half a dozen. More people wanted it than could either afford it or justify it.

Only one bloke came & looked at it, he was the first & he bought it.

My opinion is that if it is clean, stock(ish), well looked after & reasonable priced you should be able to sell it without a huge amount of drama. It won't be gone in a week & will probably take a few.

The down side is that you will get a raft of time wasters & tossers who will pound you with bizarre questions & expect you to give it away (to them) without them even bothering their arse to come & look at the car. Oddly enough the cheaper the car, the more of these types the ad appears to attract.

Best tip is clean it up & put a coat of polish on it. Make sure it drives well. Most importantly, never, ever underestimate the value of a pretty photo.

I used here & carsales & ended up selling it through car sales. I checked the numbers & approx the same number of people looked at the SAU ad as the carsales ad. Approx 800 of each.

Also ask your mates if they know anyone who wants one.

I was using random number as an example, but i dont think the real numbers will be far off

yes they run a business and the whole point is to profit

i also think modded cars sell quicker then stock, my 180sx sold in 3 hrs of advertising but i had way more pms/emails/phone calls about it compared to my skyline

Doesnt a car yard just buy the car from you? @ like a really really low price 15k?

then sell it for 25k or whatever they sell it for

Not always, i asked a car yard how much they would give me for my car and i didnt like the price so he said i could leave it in the car yard and he would sell it for me and i pay him for doing that, (you still end up with more money than selling him the car) but never did that as it was my daily driver

Depends on the guy at the car yard, some are nice and willing to help and some are just d**k heads

just make sure if you sell a car to yard on consignment they are registered with the Motor vehical industry board for consignment and they have a proper trust fund set up or you could be left high and dry with an unscrupulous dealer

not really an exaggeration, my brother in law got only 4k for his twin turbo 300zx at a dealer, they sold it for over 15k. i know its a different car, but buying a r32 gtr for 13-15 and selling it for 22-25 sounds about right for a dealer.

As for the topic, theres probably only 5 people in all of perth who want an r32 gtr, im one of those 5. No ones likes em cause they are old, and probably thrashed. :thumbsup:

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
