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 =[

Edited by R34NRG
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

    • I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.
    • Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too. 
    • Any update on this one? did you manage to get it fixed?    i'm having the same issue with my r34 and i believe its to do with the smart entry (keyless) control module but cant be sure without forking out to get a replacement  
    • So this being my first contribution to the SAU forums, I'd like to present and show how I had to solve probably one of the most annoying fixes on any car I've owned: replacing a speedometer (or "speedo") sensor on my newly acquired Series 1 Stagea 260RS Autech Version. I'm simply documenting how I went about to fix this issue, and as I understand it is relatively rare to happen to this generation of cars, it is a gigantic PITA so I hope this helps serve as reference to anyone else who may encounter this issue. NOTE: Although I say this is meant for the 260RS, because the gearbox/drivetrain is shared with the R33 GTR with the 5-speed manual, the application should be exactly the same. Background So after driving my new-to-me Stagea for about 1500km, one night while driving home the speedometer and odometer suddenly stopped working. No clunking noise, no indication something was broken, the speedometer would just stop reading anything and the odometer stopped going up. This is a huge worry for me, because my car is relatively low mileage (only 45k km when purchased) so although I plan to own the car for a long time, a mismatched odometer reading would be hugely detrimental to resale should the day come to sell the car. Thankfully this only occurred a mile or two from home so it wasn't extremely significant. Also, the OCD part of me would be extremely irked if the numbers that showed on my dash doesn't match the actual ageing of the car. Diagnosing I had been in communication with the well renown GTR shop in the USA, U.P.garage up near University Point in Washington state. After some back and forth they said it could be one of two things: 1) The speedometer sensor that goes into the transfer case is broken 2) The actual cluster has a component that went kaput. They said this is common in older Nissan gauge clusters and that would indicate a rebuild is necessary. As I tried to figure out if it was problem #1, I resolved problem #2 by sending my cluster over to Relentless Motorsports in Dallas, TX, whom is local to me and does cluster and ECU rebuilds. He is a one man operation who meticulously replaces every chip, resistor, capacitor, and electronic component on the PCB's on a wide variety of classic and modern cars. His specialty is Lexus and Toyota, but he came highly recommended by Erik of U.P.garage since he does the rebuilds for them on GTR clusters.  For those that don't know, on R32 and R33 GTR gearboxes, the speedometer sensor is mounted in the transfer case and is purely an analog mini "generator" (opposite of an alternator essentially). Based on the speed the sensor spins it generates an AC sine wave voltage up to 5V, and sends that via two wires up to the cluster which then interprets it via the speedometer dial. The signal does NOT go to the ECU first, the wiring goes to the cluster first then the ECU after (or so I'm told).  Problems/Roadblocks I first removed the part from the car on the underside of the transfer case (drain your transfer case fluid/ATF first, guess who found out that the hard way?), and noted the transfer case fluid was EXTREMELY black, most likely never changed on my car. When attempting to turn the gears it felt extremely gritty, as if something was binding the shaft from rotating properly. I got absolutely no voltage reading out of the sensor no matter how fast I turned the shaft. After having to reflow the solder on my AFM sensors based on another SAU guide here, I attempted to disassemble the silicone seal on the back of the sensor to see what happened inside the sensor; turns out, it basically disintegrated itself. Wonderful. Not only had the electrical components destroyed themselves, the magnetic portion on what I thought was on the shaft also chipped and was broken. Solution So solution: find a spare part right? Wrong. Nissan has long discontinued the proper sensor part number 32702-21U19, and it is no longer obtainable either through Nissan NSA or Nissan Japan. I was SOL without proper speed or mileage readings unless I figured out a way to replace this sensor. After tons of Googling and searching on SAU, I found that there IS however a sensor that looks almost exactly like the R33/260RS one: a sensor meant for the R33/R34 GTT and GTS-T with the 5 speed manual. The part number was 25010-21U00, and the body, plug, and shaft all looked exactly the same. The gear was different at the end, but knowing the sensor's gear is held on with a circlip, I figured I could just order the part and swap the gears. Cue me ordering a new part from JustJap down in Kirrawee, NSW, then waiting almost 3 weeks for shipping and customs clearing. The part finally arrives and what did I find? The freaking shaft lengths don't match. $&%* I discussed with Erik how to proceed, and figuring that I basically destroyed the sensor trying to get the shaft out of the damaged sensor from my car. we deemed it too dangerous to try and attempt to swap shafts to the correct length. I had to find a local CNC machinist to help me cut and notch down the shaft. After tons of frantic calling on a Friday afternoon, I managed to get hold of someone and he said he'd be able to do it over half a week. I sent him photos and had him take measurements to match not only the correct length and notch fitment, but also a groove to machine out to hold the retentive circlip. And the end result? *chef's kiss* Perfect. Since I didn't have pliers with me when I picked up the items, I tested the old gear and circlip on. Perfect fit. After that it was simply swapping out the plug bracket to the new sensor, mount it on the transfer case, refill with ATF/Nissan Matic Fluid D, then test out function. Thankfully with the rebuilt cluster and the new sensor, both the speedometer and odometer and now working properly!   And there you have it. About 5-6 weeks of headaches wrapped up in a 15 minute photo essay. As I was told it is rare for sensors of this generation to die so dramatically, but you never know what could go wrong with a 25+ year old car. I HOPE that no one else has to go through this problem like I did, so with my take on a solution I hope it helps others who may encounter this issue in the future. For the TL;DR: 1) Sensor breaks. 2) Find a replacement GTT/GTS-T sensor. 3) Find a CNC machinist to have you cut it down to proper specs. 4) Reinstall then pray to the JDM gods.   Hope this guide/story helps anyone else encountering this problem!
