Thanks for the comments guys it is a really nice car... bar some cosmetic probs... if i could get around 8-9 i would be happy but yeah F***in hail killed that idea i think... Sony Stickers are now removed:)

heres the car after lowering and a clean

the problem is that when ppl are looking at buying a new car..they don't tend to go for the one that loks like shit.. they want it looking great and they'll be excited to drive it..

Unfortunately i think the only interest you will get on your car is those that can't afford price or looking for a cheap car to build up.. Which limits your buyer diversity and lowers the limit.. fix it up or sell it for a steal.. 6-7k would be my starting point..

i recently sold my 32 gtst, it was is perfect condition, and i mean that. it was absolutely MINT. i thought $10k was the minimum i would get for it, but after 2 months of trying to sell it, and i needed to desperately as i was moving over seas, i sold it for $7.5k. i guess what i learnt is that when selling a car thats as niche as a skyline, it doesnt matter what you THINK its worth, its worth what someone will pay for it. and like gimps said, if it doesnt LOOK the goods you will loose interest of alot of people in such a tiny market. in my opinion i think between $6-8k is what your looking at.

one big prob ..if the person who may be interested cannot tidy the car up themselves it would turn them away..if they had to spend big dollars at the beaters to straighten the bod ,,it would be far cheaper to buy a clean straight car ..paint work and beating is that much of a ripoff now..so be prepared for some really stupid offers ..if you can get a mate or friend that nows what they are doing get it done first before you advertise ..first impressions are the sellers ..good luck...shame it had to happen to such a gr8 car

lonleyland is spot on. people want to buy a car, hop in drive away and have nothing to worry about. its like in the for sale section on sau, where countless wankers will advertise their car and talk up how nice it is, and how good condition its in blah blah blah, and then state that it will be sold with NO RWC!? and the reason being is that they 'cant be bothered' or 'dont have the time'. people want peace of mind.

haha f**k that turned into a rant real quick...

have u tried dint doctor bro

just to get all the dints out and then and then a serious hand polish to make it look schmicky

thats what i would try

i think one thing u have to remember is that there are thousands of r33's for sale around the country in far better condition than ur own so u have to try to have a point of difference (which u dont) or be as cleas as f**king possible (which right now u r not) to get rid of it.

or just cut ur losses and sell it for peanuts and start again.

those dent doctors normally charge per dent, so it could add up pretty quickly. i wouldn't be suprised if it ran into the thousands (since there is 40 dents, so even at $20 a dent is going to be $800, but i think they usually charge a hell of a lot more than that).

yeah i was wondering the same thing, but from what i have heard they can charge as much as $200 per dent (and as little as $50) so i think that either way it would probably work out to be an expensive exercise.

plus the fact that there is other issues as well

    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
