Ok here's my dilema... I've just rebuilt my engine and resprayed the car and stuff but with all the new laws and prices of skylines dropping I advitised my car for sale to see what would happen.... Of course i got the typical commodores and stuff wanting to swap...

But now i've been offered a pretty clean Toyota Celsior which is really clean looking black CF (means its got leather and massaging seats and stuff) and it's supercharged... The only that i can find in australia...

And there's also a completely stock aristo aswell??

Now i don't know wether to swap or not any advice guys???

It would really depend on if you are sick of the skyline or not...I am sure its a good car..but very different..6 psi aint gonna be no rocket...looks like the pulley and snout had the change I did a few years ago...but I made 10 psi....Go for a drive ..think about it carefully, if you are after the luxury thing then maybe

I guess the thing is, the others are only going to go moderately fast in a straight line as long as you dont want to slow down too quickly.

If it hasnt been already just get everything engineered on your car, she'll be apples.

the Celsiors are groovy as..my brother has one...factory air bag....etc etc..

got to be careful alot of electrics fail in them.

and the supercharger...is interesting....but prob not the best way of modding it.

but yeah wont stop to good...keep the line or get a newer car like an audi rs4.....mmmmmm

You have a very nice car.

you have spent a shit load no doubt.

and you will lose money if you sell.

If you weren't in a hurry to sell, you might find the right buyer.

but it is like an unwritten law.. you will reduce and reduce the price until it is a massive loss and you will just get rid of it at what ever cost.

You might actually get the dollars you are asking for it if it were manual.

selling a skyline is hard.

selling an R33 skyline is even harder.

selling an auto R33 GTST is next to impossible.

There are auto R33's for $10K.

the fact is, if you bought the R33 Auto for even $8K it's a bargain.

but if you wanted to make this $8K skyline in to what your car is, it will total well over your asking $18K.

But you can't explain this to people.

they just don't see it like that.

All the best in your sale/trade mate.

I'm selling it as i lost my company car and the skyline isn't really feasible to have as a daily, too much attention from cops and stuff.. Like i love the car to death and have fully built it twice built it once then stripped it to nothing and built it up to what it is now... i've had it for 3 years and yeah time for a change..

like i really don't wan2 get rid of it cause ignition is doin a feature on it when they're up here next... it's just other things backin me into a corner

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
