it dosnt help that your cars wine red colour aswell.

it helps alot if you have black/silver/whites

they seem to the biggest demand

its not really the price thats the problem with r33s. the problem is that you can always find one cheaper, and better....somewhere....

seems to be the thing with r34s these days aswell =[

R32 GTST = 7k - You must mean AUTO and 4 door and 89 model in faded silver with tweed interior.

R32 GTR = 18k - +$10K for rebuild

R33 GTST = 14k - You must mean a really good condition Series 2

R33 GTR = 22k - +$10K for rebuild

R34 GTT = 20k

R34 GTR = 50k

Just made a few adjustments to the above.. :down:

in reality though, a 1992 R32 gtst fetches the same if not more than a series 1 R33.

If you actually manage to get offered $12K for your skyline, I'd grab it with both hands.

People keep saying "oh the market for imports has really gone down of late.."

if by of late you mean 5 years, then yes.. it has gone down.

there are HEAPS to choose from.

there a HEAPS of people who can't afford them.

HEAPS of competition.

in reality, if you want to sell your car, advertise it for a high $11K figure and expect to sell for something between $10.5K - $11K

If I were you, i'd start collecting stock parts.

get your car back to stock, and sell it for $10K... Bargain for the person buying it.

then sell your good bits like wheels, cooler, suspension, recaro seat etc on their own to maybe make back another $2K?

But most people can't be farked doing all that and just take the loss.

money talks mate.

I rocked up to see a car with $2900 LESS than the advertised price.

Gave him my offer, he said no.

I showed him the wad of bills and said "We'll I'm sure someone else will be willing to trade a whale for this.."

Drove it home.

R32 GTST = 7k

R32 GTR = 18k

R33 GTST = 14k

R33 GTR = 22k

R34 GTT = 20k

R34 GTR = 50k

GTR R33 was only 22k nowa days? thats a real drop

R34 GTT = 20k ???? I saw most r34's on the 24k mark with reasonably low km's but most of them are coloured black/white. Silver/yellow/red i see around for 20k mark :P

R32 GTS-T = 7k!??? you kidding? shouldn't it be atleast 10k?

To be honest i think the price drops are at its limit except for the gtr's and gtt r34.

I disagree.

$1.55 for regular unleaded here in Brisbane.

so I assume sydney is $1.65

add 10 cents for 98 octane fuel.

not many people can afford to keep up with this these days.

they will have to sell the car.

like I said, plenty of people selling their cars.

heaps of competition.

the price will keep going down.

I also disagree with the $7K for R32 GTST.

unless like I said, early model with auto and really bad condition.

i am not thinking about selling because of fuel price they dont bother me i am thinking about selling because i want to buy a 33 gtr

There are 133 R33's in carsales.com.au for private sale in victoria

so from that, its a buyers market, they can pick and choose any number of combinations at the price they want

and they would likely get it too - given there are so many for sale

  • 2 weeks later...

R32 GTST = 7k

R32 GTR = 18k

R33 GTST = 14k

R33 GTR = 22k

R34 GTT = 20k

R34 GTR = 50k

no i think that list looks pretty spot on to me. although yes of course some that fetch that money arent in good condition, just as many are in great cond too. most people are in a hurry to get rid of their 'lines at the moment.

but I do agree that a wine red series 1 with 141000 kms would be lucky to fetch anything over the 11-12 grand mark AT THE MOST today. Like has been said, its definitely a buyers market at the moment. rising fuel costs, the models age increasing, all adding to more people wanting to sell theirs. on top of that wine red skylines seem to be worth a lot less because of their colour being so common, and it being the least visually appealing to most people (i could be totally wrong on that statement, just judging by how much less wine red skylines sell in comparison to the same in a different colour)

im in the same boat as you, i have a 95 series 1 in the two tone blue/grey, with a few more mods than yours, and a lot less k's, and unfortunately i know im not gonna be able to get much more than 11 or maybe even 12 grand if im lucky for it.

BUT that being said, on the plus side is that even though gtsts arent selling for much, 33 gtrs have dipped significantly in price over the last 6-12 months as well, some importers ive looked into can get you one for about the 20-25k mark incl compliancing and some if not all on road costs. ive seen 33 gtrs for private sale for anywhere between 20-30k mark as well.

If your looking to upgrade to a 33 gtr, either way its gonna cost you at least another 10-15k after you sell your gtst

    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
