i would have to be offered at least 15 (ie. quite a bit more than what anyone would usually pay for a s2 r33) ... after i sell my wheels to kr4-gtr for some ludicrous price :P

even at such an inflated price, considering all the time/effort/money i've put into it... i would probably just break even :P

50K Offer before i would even listen.

I cant believe how cheap 'GTR's are now, i know you can get a bargain sometimes, however

i still think under 30k for an R33 is maybe a bit 2 cheap for a good one.

I'm hoping that one day I'll retire from my baby. So on that, sale price is $250k :-)

Yep I'm delsuional :-)

Would you consider $195k for a quick sale? Send me your account details :bunny:

I had a genuine offer of just sub 70k about 6-8months ago, was temped to sell but i couldnt let her go as i spent alot of time finding the perfect vspec2.....doubt i will sell it for at least 5 years now.

i'd take $10.5k ! someone pls buy my car !

not sure why not a single person has enquired yet (it's on carsales too) but i suppose it's only been up for sale around 9/10 days

Don't give up :( just leave it there....most sell eventually but it has to take the right buyer to come along and be after exactly what you've got.... sometimes that can take MONTHS :) just ask anyone who's been selling..

Hey if every skyline owner wouldnt take anything less than an extortionate price for their car, we could charge what we wanted, people would eventually cave in haha :) .........but that wld b kinda hard 2 do while japan is still in contact lol

Yes but every person who imports a car knows that he can sell it for more than what he paid for it!

Furthermore, there is a higher increment again up to the 'Agreed Value' in his insurance policy!

I can understand your thinking tho' = once a buyer here has latched onto a perfect (or near-perfect) specimen, he/she is reluctant to let it go for less than it's worth!

Our cars already depreciate much much less than a Commoford. :yes: So are we lucky? Or just ASTUTE?

I'd consider anything over 60k. Many people ask if its for sale and when I tell them how much I'm willing to let it go for i can tell by their look on their face as to say 'your dreaming'.

I'm thinking the same if they think they're getting it for anything less....

Everything is for sale, its just how much the owner is willing to let it go for....

1993 low k 32 gtr= to me its worth around 38,000 id probably only get 25-26 tops for it

hilux utility= to me its worth 15,000 id prob get 10-12 for it

"Everything is for sale at the right price"

What about swaps?

I'd possibly swap my SR20DET Datsun 1600 for an R35 GTR, but then realising that all that blood sweat and tears would just be swapped for a car that I could just buy anyway (for over $100K!), probably isn't worth it. Plus the fact that the R35 owner would be getting a superior car.... :P;)

(or should that be swapping a superior car....) HAHhahaha. :D

This is an emotional question - it is not about what the car's market value is but what it is worth to you - what would it take for you to part with it.

My Skylines are worth much more to me than just their sale price - they provide an interest and an outlet for my motoring passion. My son always stirs me because I treat them like babies and spend too much money on them.

My GTR is in showroom condition with a total of three stone chips on the whole car.

My GTS-T has been my daily driver until a few months ago when I retired. I am now embarking on a full bare metal respray including the replacement of the passengers rear quarter due to some minor rust from an earlier repair in the old country. I nearly have a complete car in parts and will have a complete (new from Nissan) concourse front bar and bonnet and a second front bar and bonnet for track days and the like due to likehood of getting some stone chips on the track.

Now is that starting to look like a passion or what? How can you put a price on that? The fact that I also have four other cars in the driveway for my family to use as daily drivers further supports this concept.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
