Recommended Posts

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???

by the way your 33 is a hot looking car.. aristo would be similar year 93-95ish celsi would be below 92 .. sounds more like you going backwards? sell it cash by a stock new car??

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

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

    • I did say "2x Magnaflows" then referred to a Varex. So to un-confuse that, my rear muffler is hot-swappable with a Varex. When I had a RB Turbo, I had the 2x Magnaflows, then went LS and though "Oh that's way too loud" and ordered a Varex. A mid muffler will definitely help a lot, even if straight through. SP Mufflers can make anything as big or as small as possible, which will help even more. Looking at my own exhaust I could make the muffler twice as long if I wanted to. Or you could go crazy and get 2x mufflers from SP and full every remaining space with muffling. In my experience closing the Varex makes the car run VERY rich (obviously). I'd say adding a muffler *will* affect things, on a technical, physics level, but I don't think you'd need a retune as the actual effect would be the car running a *tiny* bit richer due to more restriction, on a strictly physics level, but you kind of don't have any option if you want the car to make less sound.
    • I must have read 100 DIY's and watched 200 DIY Youtube videos with most people saying just grab a new cover and, well, despite my normal aproach to these things (replace it all!!) I didn't get a cover. I don't know why I didn't, I'd already ordered a bunch of bits from FCP and it would have made perfect sense to put that in the order.  Anyway, I'm not getting OEM as its just crazy money, even from the states its 900 ish delivered. So, I got an OE Elring one, same as they sell at FCP but local so I can get this fixed this week. Our X5 is waiting for a new diff so we find ourselves in a common scenario of having 2 broken BMW's on the driveway! 🤣
    • Big thing is available inputs for sensors and not having to run multiple expander boxes and software packages for different things why motec is up there. The link ecu and an aim pdm32 was a combination I looked at early on so get ecu, dash and pdm in one go. Aim logging software is pretty good and has all the tracks I will ever drive. Having logging setup with tracks already available is a big thing for myself so can click drop down and go. Thing that I keep seeing is the support what's needed and having a package that people in the know are familiar with as learning a new platform is time consuming.    Got a few boxes that arrived with bits while I was away so hopefully will fit a few sensors and make a start on the dump pipe today. Going to be interesting fitting a 3.5 inch exhaust on this and keeping it above the chassis rails. 
    • Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full
    • Chasing a R32 GTR dash pad, must be in good condition, no broken tabs, no holes and preferably no bubbles.   Thanks
