Who here has recently sold their Skylines?

I am hoping to go travelling next year so I am putting the GTS-4 beast on the market.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=29294

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.

Thanks, Greg.

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 :)

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
