Yer about $15000, skipper mitsubishi in perth have got 7 for sale at $17999 retail, i had a look last night cause i sold my silvia!

They are half decent stock, and in the past skippers have sold these for $25000. Most common perth car yards sell these for $16000.

For $15k, your better off converting it to manual for $3k, and selling it for $19-$20k

My auto skyline has done the same kms as yours, but has had some serious work done to it also, If i was ever to sell it, I think i would be lucky to get $17k for it, where if it was manual it would be looking at $23k+

Hey mephis,

I looked at 3 private cars on the weekend, all manual, and all under 94000km, the lowest at 65000km. A car being manual suddenly doesnt add $3000 to the price??? most handbags actually pay extra for auto as an option on most new cars.

The cars i looked at were all under $17000, ive got an offer going through atm for one with a minor front bumper push for $14000.

The sudden flood of cheaper imports in perth has rocked the 2nd hand car market, i could take a risk and import one through autoworxs (www.perthcars.com) for $15000 with mods, but for $23000+ private sale, do i get a warranty and any dealer extras?

My 4 cents......

Paul, You cannot import modded cars anymore. Only 100% stock standard.

You need to remember we are talking sports cars here, most young people want manual, would you buy an auto?

Sorta a supply vs demand dealie. Not many young people want a auto sports car.

Sorry to hijack the thread abit btw

Will a converted auto gts-t to manual actually sells more than an factory auto?

I think it would still worth less than a factory manual due to originality factor? Although if it retains the auto 1:4.3 diff, then the converted one could be more desirable for drag (slightly faster acceleration as opposed to manual's 1:4.1 diff)

Dont know but, i sold my R33 gtst manuel 74,000km's stock for $15,800! Im never getting a import again, their resale value is friggen shit!

Yep, the imports arent worth much when you go to sell them, that is why in real terms the price of $22000 is too high for a 1993 skyline turbo.

My dad and i have dealt with many imports before....but my mate dropped out of the business so i have to get a local one or trust risbey.....eeeeee

His dads last 2 imports, hes had a few nostagic ones, a 85 supra turbo, a nissan gloria (taxi)....the list goes on

we imported a 300zx na, auto, with 40000km, bought for $23000 sold $15000, this was 3 years ago we sold this, it was a 1990 model.

1988, na, auto silvia, bought it 7 years ago for $13000 with 60000km on the clock, sold it 4 years ago for $7000, when they were worth something.

nah,

the 15 year old stuff coming in will appeal more to the younger crowd, my second choice was the r32 gtr, these can be bought for $15000 from risbey.

Even the hilux surfs have taken a dive, i saw one last week, new shape, landed for $7000, these used to sell for $30000

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"

      But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
