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.

paul

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

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
