hey all, well my older brother is very interested in gettin a r33 4 door. Have tried to source info for r33 4 door buying and resellin price for Brisbane however its been tough, since there's not alot of 4 doorz being sold. The car he is interested in (private sale) is:

r33 4 door gts-t BLACK

1995 series 2

Stock as a rock with 60,000km's on it currently

car is black in good condition - both body and interior

he intends to sell the car in a year or so when it has approximately 80,000km's on it

Approximately how much should he pay for it? And Will he have trouble sellin it when he does - 4 doorz sell much much slower do they not. Since there's very low demand for them. HOw much do u reckon he could get for it. He doesnt want it to depreciated too much as he has to head back overseas

thanks

regards

Hey,

does he want auto or manual - auto will automatically be at least $2000 cheaper. remember that to only have 60k on clock it's only travelled 8500km a year. It only indicates one thing they are asking more than even for it since no one only drives a skyline 8500km a year.

He's better off paying $20k to $24k for one (with genuine 80k) and after a year he can wind back the clock himself instead of letting someone else wind it back for him.

4 Doorz

I thought the 4 door models were way cheaper than your standard coupe. I remeber seeing one a little while ago at one of the yards at Underwood, it was a 4 door R33 GTSt Auto totally stock in great condition with about 75000K on the clock and they were asking $14500 for it.

I even took it for a drive and it was straight as, it was obviously used as a family car in Japan

I seriously thought about buying it for a second car, just to absolutely thrash the hell out of it.

4 door skylines is an option if insurance and price is too high.If insurance is not a drama i would be looking at buying a coupe.I dont think he will have problems selling it again but resale price may be an issue.I was lucky and picked my coupe up for 15.It has 18"'s,exhaust and it had been lowered and the paint was pretty good.I looked around for a while but eventually one popped up.As for km's i think it it hard to judge an import on km's.One way to check id to look at the bolt on the crankangle sensor located on the front of the motor(silver disc).It has a silver sticker that goes accross one of the bolts.When the timing belt is done this sticker is torn off so check that out.

Also check out the boot as many r33 leak through the tail lights.

Other things to check for are general rust and paint work imperfections.these are the things i would look for in a car as these are what cost the most and can be frustrating saving for

1)wheels

2)exhaust

3)lowered

Any skyline with these will be a head turner and will be easy to sell again.

theres a r33 4 door up here on the coast for $13k, but its in fairly rough condition, (a bargain I reckon)(auto, 2.5 turbo), I paid around $25k for my impul, which was in perfect nick and had all the goodies etc, but I saw one advertised at autoforce for around 23K, standard, with a body kit,???

so I dont know what is going on and price for 4 door r33 seems to vary alot

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
