I have been building up my R33GTST sedan for a few years now, its recently had an RB26 & manual conversion and just this week a single turbo/injectors (Trust TD07 & sard 700cc) upgrade and goes in for tuning to matt spri @ PITS next week. So after this is done and ive had a bit of fun with it i am looking at selling it on but i dont know what i should be asking. I have made a gallery with some pics .... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/ga...-album2709.html

Would anyone be interested in sharing their thoughts on its resale value? i can do up a detailed list of all modifications if anyone is willing to take the time to review it.

Cheers.

The kit and wheel is not to my taste. But others might like it.

Nice color thou.

Which year and series?

Any other work done to the engine? If not, I'd say about 18k - 20k max.

With a rebuilt motor, probabaly a little bit more.

the wheels arent my thing really either but they were a steal at a grand with rubber & the kit well being 4 door there is not much available, that had to modified to fit as it was. Its 1993 series 1 ..

The engine is stock except for the work ive just done, its running power FC and a few bits (intercooler, fuel pump, cam gears etc)

Id strip it down and sell off the parts, would probably get a little less money but would be easier then trying to sell it to someone who would drive that over compensated lollypop-mobile.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder but then again some people have a fetish for animal porn or grannies.

haha i guess everyone has their opinion and im not scared of some negative feedback, but if we could keep it to helpful replies it would be appreciated.

Jst making some fun man, i went through my stage of 'flasshy' as well (bout the same time i bought my first pink polo top)

Try popping it on carsales.com for a few months and after that, try parting it out!

yea its all good, i have the unique ability of being able to laugh at myself, i figure if you cant laugh at yourself you probably deserve it. I guess the car ended up the way it has because i know people in the car audio/bodyworks industries .. if i had more mates in the performance areas things could have turned out a lot differently but as it is to get any sort of decent performance work its a 2 hour drive to brisabane or 3 hour drive to the goldcoast ..

It'll be worth more stripped in parts.

You'll be lucky to get over 25k for that as it is IMO. Stock RB26, which will die eventually, and actually brings the engine bay down because its a typically worn looking RB26. If it has a decent spray on the covers, plenum etc it might help a bit with its appearance.

Also because of the colour in all honesty, its not for everyone so you'll have to wait around for a buyer with something that focused etc... longer you wait, the more money you loose on it all so you bite the bullet or have a deeper side pocket.

Strip it now, put a stocker RB25, rip out the stereo etc etc then sell it up with just the bodykit and the spray.

says the popsicle who runs his car around at night with the bonnet popped on the secondary - go figure......

mate it will appeal to someone I am sure, looks pretty neat and as long as the 26 and manual conversion was done correctly and the motor is strong, someone will give you pretty good money for it. I would agree that you would need to look pretty hard at offers close to the $20k mark as good money.

GL with the sale

The engine has just all been cleaned up, while the turbo was being fitted i had the covers/plenem painted, fitted aluminium radiator, silicon hose kits, cam gears/clear cam cover .. so in all the bay doesnt look too shabby now, but this is the sort of things i wanna know thanks.

Those wheels & rear spoiler completely embarrass the car... The rims are made for someone from Coburg with an auto VL n/a 6 with neons and the back spoiler is for a GTR.

Put some gold forged BBS 18x10inch BBS's on it and take off the wing... and then keep it :blush:

Gold rims on a purple car?

I never intended to keep the rims, they were offered to me too cheap to refuse so i put them on intended to keep them only until i found something else i like then sell them for a profit, but i still havent found anything else that appeals to me & now thinkin of selling it i didnt see the point spending coin on new wheels. The wing i have no exscuse for tho .. i kinda like it, sorry :blush:

About $17K would be an OK buy from a buyers point of view.

Only because I know that I could probably make about $3K in selling the wheels, tvs, boot mounted nightclub and body kit.

which should be enough to have the car resprayed in a colour I would want with wheels I would preffer.

so in the end it would have cost me $17K to have a practical RB26 powered skyline with good mods.

I'm sure you would have spend over $15K more than that in getting the car where it is now..

and as you know, you will never get that back. not even close.

I have sold 3 skylines over the last 18months and the market for them os almost non existant nowdays. Absoloutly not intending to offend you but im telling you right now you will struggle to get $15K for that. Sell all the bolt on stuff seperate if you can be bothered and hope to get $12k for the car even with the RB26.

lol Club BOOT.. funny f**ker.. what time is it open till? admission costs?

yeah it's as gtst said.. you'll never get ur return.. nowhere near..

i spent over 35k on my VT making it something special and sold for not even half that.. funny part is you spend all this time doing it up.. when you finish is when you get bored of it :D

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
