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

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
