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

    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.
