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?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
