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

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
