Hi guy's, I'm in a pickle of a situation, lost ma job a month and a bit ago which meant the company car had to be given back. Not so bad because I've got a new job and its going well, problem is my wife needs her car. The skyline even if I finish it isn't the type of car you want to escort clients around in.

So I want to know how much I could get for the skyline and see if I can get something else, doubt I'll sell it because I've put way too many hours into it to part with it for just a normal car. Still I need to know what my options are.

Fair simple build up,

R32 Gts-t 1989 type-M

RB30det engine

Rb26 head

Aries pistons

H beam rods

T04z turbo

PFC djetro

800cc injectors

cam gears

R33 manual gearbox

exceedy 4 puk clutch

2 way kaaz diff

R33 GTR v-spec front disc's and caliper bracket

18x10 +20 rear's VSKF's

18x 9 +20 fronts VSKF's

Couple gauges, AVC-R boost ctrl

HSD coilovers

caster arms

shortened frnt upper control arms

FMIC, oil cooled, alloy rad, twin pod intake

Rear has had guards stretched professionally

25mm front gaurds

Cobra-daytona 2 reclining buckets (both seats)

hydrolic handbrake

driver side harness.

Paint is crap, half stock half matte from where body has been repaired. Fair straight no major dents. Has been drifted but this engine has only been on the dyno and due to an electrical problem hasn't had the tune finished. At the moment it cant be driven but I'm sure I could fix it I just don't have the time as its locked away elsewhere due to the lack of car parking at my place. Not registered but it can be.

Thanks guy's.

(If you don't know, don't make up crap)

the markets shagged at the moment, so unless u wanna sell it for way less than what u should i'd keep it.

I can't even get 18k for my 251kw @ 12psi RB30DET powered R32 and she's running, registered and in excellent condition.

$18k, Whats the running gear on the RB30? I remember seeing your car at Aldgate a long time ago and it looked brand new.

I'm probably looking around 300kw's+ from this setup once re-tuned but your car has way more class and with the market being so crap $15-16k would be about right I suppose. Not worth selling it in my eye's. I don't want to sell it in the first place, especially seeing I haven't even played with any of the new bits yet but I cant see a way out of it. Could try to swap it but I doubt anyone would have something that suits what I need and is value enough for me to give up my pride and joy.

I'm getting a headache, this really sucks.

to cut it short mate, keep it and finish it off over time. you'll never be happy with what you can get. id say between 15-18 once its running and rego'd.

you can pick up commo's or ex government cars at the auctions for stuff all. i recommend doing to that to have a nice 'cheaper' daily that would be good for moving clients around in if your wanting to keep the skyline.

What about selling just the engine?

I'd think the Trust manifold, waste gate, twin pod intake and T04z would fetch at least $3000 on it's own.

The head has been ported and everything machined at Lewis Engines...

if you throw in the gearbox set up and the complete engine and turbo setup id say around 8-9k and that's if you can find someone willing to buy it.

everyone's a bunch of tight asses these days!

I think you'll have a lot of trouble selling it not finished at a good price

have a look at Carl's 4 door http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=325747 his car is mint as and has been for sale for ages.

Edited by DSTROY

Fk me Carl's four door is neat as. Think I've seen it down near the truck lineup at the docks before. I really want to keep it but the more I talk it over with the wife the more I realize it needs to go. I'm going insane trying to figure out a way to keep ma car.

Yeah, nobody is buying anything. I've had my toys up for a while now.

Considering your isn't registered, engineered, finished, or even with a suitable finish, you won't get much. :(

Tell me about it. Had some the sphincter of the universe reckon he could get a stag like mine for under $10K ... good luck with that dreamer!

Salesman told me some months ago when this financial crisis hit that it's getting harder to get car loans from a bank but they were still able to organize finance for buyers through the yard. The yard which shall remain anon. looked to sell POS only however....

Sent PM about stagea's

stripping it for parts is the ONLY way to get any decent coin back.

i have recently stripped the muppet bus "r33sedan" and sold off all the goodies.

had a build 25, high mount etc, so far i have recouped $12.5k from parts and i still have nismo injectors etc left.

i can then bolt a standard engine in the car and sell that for 8-10k.

which in the current climate is easily achievable, but it does require you stripping your pride and joy.

    • 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.
