i think by rights you should be looking at more a 20g mark. i havent been looking at r33 myself but for example todays paper has 2 r33s in it for 16g mark as fairly stock items.

20 may sound a bit steep but it has haltech hks and other good stuff wich would add up fast plus a engine rebiuld.

but in saying that its only worth what someone will pay.

another good example is a bloke that has just moved down to tas. he had highly modified r33 (all bolt on stuff) and it wouldnt sell for around the 18 mark. so he pulled everything off and put it back to stock and sold the turbo kit including computer and other misc stuf and now plans to sell the car stock.

just my 2 cents

DJRIFT your probably right, id be better off pullin it apart and sellin it in bits! Its f**ken crap, its hardly worth selling it as id prob only get what i payed for it and ive easly spent that much again moding it!!

cool. thinking of selling mine too. 95 M-spec series 1.5 good condition 100k on clock, gfb BOV, songle stage atomoc boost controller, running 10psi, new fuel ratio gauge, tinted windows, sub, amp mp3 jvc head unit, retrimmed airbag steering wheel, new gear nob etc. Very nice, but how much?

well like i said before i haven been folowing the r33 prices but realistcly in todays buying and selling world i think you would wnat to think around 13G.

that may seem low but its a 95 so 12 years old and its basicly standard. not that there is anything wrong with having a standard one just onec you get up to 15g at the moment you can find some realy good r33s with turbo and suspension upgrades.

if it was mine pull the sub and amps and the few things off the engine and sell it as stock.

But mate, aren't you a total fag who really knows nothing about cars and gets your mates to do the work for you? I've heard you couldn't even roll your own gurds never mind knowing what anything is actually worth! I really wouldn't take any notice of "Mr Cougarboobs" here if I was you.

yeh im still thinking i need my car at the moment until around june or july. im not sure if i mentioned but it has 18 inch wheels too. V nice. yes well if i do decide to sell they will be getting a good deal as i have looked after it. anyways, ty for the advice. i reckon when i come back from europe will have to buy another.

hwy mate. what i gave you was just a key board estimate so please dont be put off. factors such as actual condition will make a difference and i find personly just put a high price on it and be prepared to negotiate.

Hey mate, I just sold my 33 with a somewhat similar setup (externally gated 3037 blah blah) and FARRRRKKKKKKKK did I get some wankers out there. I was getting riduculous offers. I remember some guy came and had 3 looks at the car and then even had me take it to his mechanics and the mechanic even said it was a nice car, and then he offered me 13,000. I was like "Hmmm well considering its got a built engine, tomei cams, hks turbo, trust manifold, hks wastegate, hks exhaust, apexi PFC, hybrid fmic, braided teflon lines, q45 afm and makes 320 rwkw..........I politely accecpt your off and suggest you go ram yourself".

My suggestion, do as I did. Stock it out and sell the parts on here and then sell the car on its own. You have plenty of quality parts which will easily get a decent price on here and will equate to MUCH more than if you sold it as a total package. I even ripped my engine out and put a stocker in and sold it dead stock for $14,500 and then sold all the running gear off.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
