Alright guys, I've got a '94 Series 1 M-Spec R33 GTST Manual 4 door sedan. Its only got very basic mods which include:

Jasma 3inch cat back exhaust

KNN Pod Filter

Cusco Strut Brace

Tein Super Street Coilvers

17 inch Volks TE 37

Navan Spoiler

Reclinable Race Seats

Everything else is pretty much stock and mechanically A1. I heard from some guys that the 4door turbo/manual is pretty rare nowadays. I don't know how true that is, but I seldom see R33 sedans on the road. Yea I know that now is a pretty shit time to sell a car with all the prices going down compared to a few years back.

Anyway, I was wondering how much I would be able to get if I were to sell my car now. So I hope you guys out there can give me an estimate.

how many km? but id say you'd prob be lucky to get 10k for it, have been seeing a fair few more moded manual coupes going for round the 8k mark lately which is sad 2 say but true, ive got an r33 gtst coupe in auto, has had over 5k spent in mods i reckon id be lucky to get more than 8k for it

Rare because not many people want them..... :D

Id day 8 - 10k

I still can't sell mine for 13.8k and I have 254rwkw....

Damn.....doesn't look good for a few years from now when I may want to get rid of my 32.. I have 260+rwkw, rb25 etc etc.

i sometimes think that its better and less time consuming to just trade the car in.

My old car I could've probably sold for $9k if I could be bothered waiting for the right buyer.

Trade in value was $3k.

I sold it within 24hrs of it going on carsales for 7.5k (without RWC).

If you really want to sell your car, dump the price and get rid of it. You'll still get far more than you would from a dealer.

To the original poster: IF you find the right buyer, you could probably get $10k, but like someone else mentioned, no one wants 4 door Skylines. Even if they did want one, 4 door 33's may be rare, but 4 door 34's are nearly as common as the Coupe's, and still only $12,000-14,000.

Aight got it. Thanks for your insight!

    • 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. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great. 
    • Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.
