Pretty much what they're worth on average at a private sale divided by 2 in my opinion.

So thats around 15 K, meaning 7.5 K? lol bollocks that!

If I wanted to get a Corolla that is worth around 15 K also, Id have to pay another 7.5 K to purchase it? I rather keep my Skylina thank you.

I remember going into a dealer to ask what they'd pay for it and before even checking it out, they gave me a price which was about half of what they're going for.

This was at an Japanese import dealer, could be much different at a Toyota, Holden, etc dealer though.

it's funny how in the second hand market, Auto cars fetch about $2K less than manual, when they cost about $1500 more when new.

$15K gets a decent condition series2 manual in a private sale.

I'd assume you MIGHT be able to sell the auto series 2 for about $12K - maybe.. if someone wanted an auto.

don't even bother with trade in.

Actually, go and get a dealership quote on trade in.

then I'll give you $500 more.

I've got $10K to spend on a car so that should easily outbid the dealer and buy your car and insurance, and possibly a few mods.. ;)

Are you looking for a Skyline?

i'm note sure what people expect from a trade-in?

the dealer has to maek money, if they buy your car for 15k when you can't even sell it for that much privately, what's in it for them?

the point of a trade-in is that its a car you either can't sell or can't be bothered selling, thus they take it off your hands immediately.

the price you pay is that it costs you

if you desperately want to sell your R33 and have your mind set on 15k, why not advertise it for 13k, bite the bullet, and sell it within a week or 2

a mate bought a r33 s2 very clean, standard everything apart from jap catback. it had a nice set of 18s and lowering springs. Went into Mackay Toyota and they offered him $2500 ..... this was right after he bought it for $14k

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
