Guyz just wondering how much i could sell my Non Turbo r33 for?

Its in excellent condition inside and out. The paint shines like woah. i take car of it and remove every small mark i see on it(bird crap).

The engine is in excellent condition. i took it for a major service at Auto workshop after i bought it and they said it had no problems except the brakes which they replaced.

it has no leaks and that i am sure coz i have a habit of looking underneath my car all the time coz of the pulsar i had a while ago which used to leak after every few weeks(1 drop) lol. The car has no rattles or anything or rust. one thing is the gear boot thing, the cloth is worn lol.

Its got brandnew tyres.

Its got RAYS rims. it says somethin like angels trail. and it says Rays engineering inside the wheel thats how i know its rays lol.

Its lowered.

The interior looks really nice with the skyline badged mats. (thats why i loved it) its really clean.

I just love the car(i want a turbo one thats why i am selling it).

I like it so much that i dont feel like selling it and i wanna turbo it but alot of people have sed its better i buy a turbo one than adding turbo coz it costs more. i even asked the guys at AutoWorkshop.

Its done 162,000kms and its a 1993 r33.

I payed 9000 for it and i bought 2 new tyres ($500), serviced it($700). Rego....

If you wanna have a look at it. check the link below in my Sig.

How much do u think i can get for it. i wanna know whats the last price i shud stick to.

I really wanna buy a turbo one by june or july, so need to sell it.

Cheers.

Yeah you might be able to get 7-8K for it but in this market at this time would have to be the worst to sell. Ask around 11K / 10K for it and see if you get any bites but I can't stress enough, if you don't have to sell it at this point in time, don't, this market is a buyers market not a sellers. Out of all the cars I've owned and sold, 3 of which were skylines I never lost a dime (made a profit on 2 of them) until my last one which I didn't even own for 6 months, should have been able to sell it easily for much more than I bought it for (as I got it for killer cheap) and then I managed to lose over 2K in it... shame I had to sell it at that time otherwise I would have held onto it until I got the real price it deserved!!!

R33's held a really steady price for about 2 years and only in the last 6 - 8 months have they crashed down to next to nothing which is a real shame... yet the R34's are still holding a decent price!!!

But I must say, you do have an advantage owning a non-turbo, there is always a few youngsters that are after a nice looking car that their parents don't mind them getting (without worrying about killing themselves with a turbo)!

Sold my '94 N/A for $8k mid 2007. Only had ~$1200 stereo, catback exhaust and rims... no kit or anything.

As Jess said.... it was a 17 year old dude who just got his licence and I think it was a mix between parents not wanting him to get a turbo and cheaper insurance etc.

Thanx Guyz.

I think i will do what u sed Jessr33. Will wait and sell it later.or maybe i will still keep it for sale at 10000 and wait until somebody pops up.

I wish i had a GTR so i cud sell it easily since everyone wants them, but then why would i want to sell it. hahaha

:D

Thats different though mate. $4300 isnt very much at all. Both of our cars have immaculate exteriors, interiors, and engine. We also need the money from our cars to buy our next cars. If I could afford to sell mine that low I definately would, I have a lot of mates who would appreciate it and look after it as well as I have.

but on that note

any skyline (na or turbo) is hard to sell, unless you reduce it to a stupidly low price

im with Rhys on this, if your not to fussed about the sale time frame just hold onto it until someone comes along

people who buy these cars are either wankers making a statement or enthusiastic person who wants a different/unique ride

I bought my r33 gtst for $9k last August, it was immaculate with pod and fmic and harlequin+flake paint, bar some marks on the bonnet and a small crack in the front bar it was quite a steal.

Before I found it I almost swallowed my pride and bought an NA, but there was no way I was going to pay more than $7k for an NA 33 regardless of how immaculate it was,

So if the opinion of a recent buyer helps.... :D

Its difficult to say.

Car prices have dropped hugely with the economic depression.

And its dependent on how long u can wait to get the right price.

You can pick up mod'd turbo S13's for 7-9K.

So I would try to sell it for what u bought it for. And then drop the price depending on how much u wanna loose and how fast u wanna sell it

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
