I will probably be advertising it in the newspapers next weekend, but what other things can I do to sell my car quickly, what has been succesfull for the rest of you guys.

unfortunatly if you have a nice unusual car you get nothing but tyre kickers :( good luck but i hate selling cars ..... too many tyre wasters out there & the Autotrader can be pricks to deal with but unfortunately the car buyers bible :)

Alot of people are interested in teh 32s atm

this guys after one atm and I know disturbd has a gts4 manual conversion kit for teh gts4 the auto will be hard to sell.

dont take her to car yards for an insulting under value trade in

I think auto trader is good lil exy

sunday times is dead

quokka is ood

forums

But maybe the forementioned guy might be interested if you were to mention dsturbd's gear

Good luck Greg

I have had alot of success with buying and selling cars through the Quokka and I have never used Autotrader in my life, so it's definitely worth giving it a go mate. Autotrader are pretty swish, but generally they are more focused on digging deep into your pockets rather than keeping the customer happy - I believe.

Yeah, but the last thing I want to do right now is pour more money into my car before I sell it, I have thought about making it a manual in the past to sell it easier. Well I will see what interest I get next weekend, and if I get no bites I may have to rethink.

Greg.

i sold mine on the forums in the end

but i got alot fo calls for the 32 from the autotrader

and sold the 33 2 years ago in the sunday times

i think the main idea is exposure, without goin crazy advertise it in as many ways as possible so it reaches all potential custoemrs

Ok, the quokka is great as it's free.....

But statistics speak for themselves........

SundayTimes is most popular newspaper on the weekend......you can get the earlyedition at 6pm on Saturday......CBD first ......... and Motoring section is bigger as it holds more car adverts.........................

Sold my last 4 cars there..........and you get more hits than Autotrader....with photo people make up their mind before they see the car live..........colour the shoot angle, lighting, tyres direction, environment.....

Its emotional view people releas first before they consider the hard facts.......it can be the best and the fastets with bodykit and all, if the photo doesn't do it justice.......

Go the Sundaytimes....... Autotrader is a vaste of time and money......I have been buying that mag when I was looking for my car to buy and have bought 36 issues and only 12% of cars have changed ............waste of money for the buyer, so newspaper is better choice and distribution network is larger :D

Just keep this in mind:

EVERY CAR HAS A CUSTOMER>>>>>>

yeah sell it first in auto and make them aware there's a guy with the kit, not the other way around

from memory I think I saw Dsturbd wanting 1400 for the box..?? more than for a gtr one ...

greg, I never tried auto trader, but the quokka generated heaps of 'interest' (although I sold it in the end to a guy on the forums)

from what I've heard though the quokka gets more calls than the auto-trader :)

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
