Hey People, Im now seriously considering buying an R34 GTR, i didnt realise u can get them for around $50k now. Just wondering if you can give me an approximate price to expect selling the below mentioned stuff

R33 GTST - Sunroof, $130,000KM (reverted to stock)

19" XHP Chrome Boost wheels with 95% tread (seperate to car)

New Power FC for RB25 (only used to move car in and out of garage). bought from autobarn with reciepts 4 weeks ago.

Hybrid Intercooler

Turbosmart Stage 3 Stealth BOV full plum back system (cost abou $700+)

Autometer Boost Gague (big one)

HKS 3037 Pro S bolt on kit for R33 (bolted up to car, started but not driven) 0.68 rear

Just looking at rough estimates. ive still got about $6000 to spend on car including tuning, coils and injectors.. its seeming like a big waste of money. I have all stock parts to replace back on skyline.

This crossed my mind a few times. Just bare in mind that once you've bought that 50K car, think of the mods you've done/planned to do to the R33, and then times 1.5 (or even 2x) and realise that you'll want to spend that EXTRA money on the GTR. That's the deal breaker for me. That, and my knees are already at risk from my current loan hahah

there is no way in hell, your series 1 skyline will sell for $18K with all those in and tuned.

no way!

if you are looking to make the most money you can from it, take it back to stock EVERYTHING and sell it for $12K if you are lucky.

then sell the turbo, cooler, pfc, wheels etc.

apart from the PFC, no-one is going to pay you what you paid for it for any of those items, even if it was plugged in and turned on to check the time or whatever your reasoning is.

skylines really are dime a dozen these days.

I'm not trying to be mean or puting yor car down.

I'm just trying to make sure that you don't go advertise your car for $18K to find that it is $4K over every other GTST there.

Take a look at what a stock series 2 goes for and take off $2K to your asking price, then be prepared to sell it for almost $2K less than that.

then get your $40K loan for the R34 GTR.

taking it back to stock was the plan all along. :).. my reasoning is exactally what u stated.. could sell the car for $15k all included.. or take the crap off it, sell it seperatly. i was just wanting peoples estimates as to what i could sell the stuff for seperatley

as for front bar, i have no idea :).. think bomex?

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
