i think the main two factors that determine how much your car will be worth is year model and kms not whats done to it.

As the majority of people buying will be looking at general condition of the car as opposed to whats done to it, mods generally dont add any value to a car.

Mines a 95 r33 with 120,000kms light mods for 200rwkws, i wouldnt expect much over 10k for mine. Its a great buyers market at the moment, i really want a 33 gtr as they are going for nothing these days, but the catch 22 is that i cant sell the car i currently own for as much as i think its worth.

to answer the original question, i reckon you would get about 10-12 grand for the r33, depending on condition and kms etc, and then you would find a decent stagea for around the 15k mark. (im not entirely sure on what stageas go for these days)

I disagree, in fact i know that i will pay more for an arsito with wheels, lowered, fmic and fuel/speed cut defender than i would for a stocker, as with most imports a lot of people buy them to play with them, if the basics are already done then thats a good start, there are also the other people who dont want to spend the time and money doing the mods them selves so are after something with the mods already done, which of course is the cheaper way to do it.

At the end of the day it does matter to me if it has mods or not and i am willing to pay more for one with mods.

i love how people put dollar values on cars...

i stand by this well known quote

"something is only worth, what someone else is prepaired to pay for it"

so i spose you then test the waters.. start it at $13k as i see you've done (although i dont think a s1 is likely to sell for that value, its a good starting point)

and you progressivly drop it depending on how desperate you are to sell the car until it does actually sell!

i'm in the market for a S2 R33 ... and i know how much i am prepaired to pay for one that takes my fancy! and unless someone can better me ... i feel that is all the car is worth... as upsetting as it is.. well all need to be realistic about car values,... especially with the state of the 'economy' at the moment

you'd be mad to be looking for a stock 32 or 33 these days... they are 10-20 year old cars which means things are going to need to be replaced if they haven't already and the price of parts from Japan has just become pretty absurd... forget about building one up with nice Jap parts anymore

looking for a clean example should be one that looks really straight from underneath (chassis wise, drives straight etc) and the owner knows a lot about the car and any work that has been carried out... looking for cars with low kays and nice paint is the least of your worries, as the kays are almost always dubious and its relatively cheap to get paintwork fixed as opposed to replacing major components

plus well modded ones drive much better than wheezy stockers;)

and that's why you should click on the link in my sig hehe

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
