Web page should definitely help. Also stops time wasters requesting pix and otherwise stupid questions that can be well covered in a website. Most who request pix just want to look at a skyline, not buy it. So if you put it all on a website that saves you that hassle I reckon.

Thing is people put skylines on here and wonder why it doesn't sell, but the majority of people on here own skylines, or you know about here because you own a skyline. Its like trying to sell ice to the eskimos.

Try other performance boards as well, especially those for smaller 4cylinder cars and things who might be looking for an "upgrade" to the world of skyline :(

List it for 15k, im sure you would sell it in a week...

Although ppl would probably then think somehting is wrong with it and keep their distance.Selling cars sucks!

Trading Post/Auto Trader/Unique Car Guide etc, purely because of their higher distribution, but can get expensive so perhap factor in the advertisements costs when stating your price.

Yeah Ive had my car advertised on the net and had no response through carpoint but when the Unique Cars publication with the same add came out I got heaps. They came as a package but all my responses were from the mag (with a color pic). The mags are good because many people dont know what they are looking for and the mags give them new ideas where as the net requires people specifically after your type and model. (if that makes sense!?)

Its a GTST with 320rwkw with alot of brand new parts. Should make more soon. I want 33k. From an astra to this, i reckon you would be frightened.

You car will get sold in no time on the TP, but their friggen expensive now.

I put in a 2 week advert for my old Daewoo and it cost $35 then stopped, I then entered it again for another $35 which ran for 3 weeks, then it stopped again. Rip off!

Go carsales.com.au, $10 until it sells.

depends which state.. certain people seem to favour certain publications in certain states for whatever reason.

I know in Melb the TP is a good one, and i've sold all my old cars through there. Current one will be in there soon.

      And make sure the belts are tightened appropriately too.

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.
