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

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
