Hey guys i'm thinking about parting with my R33 GTST 1994 Manual MSPEC-2 DOOR. Currently not really sure what they are going for but here is a detail discription of the car and hit me up what you with i can sell it for- keeping in mind i don't want a 3month sale but something quicker (no hurry though!)- not going to give it away either

Discription:

Very clean body

Second owner in Aus- been here for 7yrs, I have had it for 3.5yrs (selling with RWC & reg for another 8 months or so)

190km on the clock- full service history since I’ve had it and previous owner too

No mechanical issues- new coil packs and changed some bushes here and there

Sitting on newish shock and springs- slightly lower but legal and doesn’t scrap everywhere

17inch light weight ssr rims (white)- (80% meat all round around -300 a corner)

3inch (or 3.5) KatiMoto exhaust with high flow cat

Sound system approx 3k (very clean installation, no wires visible to the naked eye), top quality stuff just the capacitor was like 600 buxs. Doesn't shake anything, just really crystal clear voicals- also have 2 subs in the car easy to detach. Haven't been in the car for over now lol

Usual pod filter but engine is pretty stock otherwise, no demodifications either

Always serviced with motul oils etc

Generally very good car never had any issues but looking and purchasing a development block so I’m interested in selling up. Once I complete this piece of work I will be looking at reverting to a r34 GTR hopefully as I just loved the beast so much!

I see skylines can go from 7.5-12k so i'm not sure what i can get for it?

with that many k's on it, no one will want it

im in the same boat, my R33 has 228,000 on the clock, no one will want it

if you can sell it 8k max

have a look at what vl turbos are worth

and i reckon compare vs that

i mean if a 87 vl turbo is worth 3k still

then a 93 gtst should be worth a fair bit more

yer i was thinking something along the lines of 9k- i will see how i go.

its pretty funny how some ppl think that they got 100km on the engine lol with their car been is aus land for like 6 yrs, obviously never done math, i'd rather sell it with gen km than wind them back.

223km to doesn't mean much- because the km are gen and if u look after your car, unlike some youngster it will be mint for another 100km at least. Plus the gear box would be smooth as butter.

When i was looking for my car i found that some with 80km had leaking engines and gear boxes like corn flakes lol

theres too damn many of them around...there as common as commodores and most are crappy and borirng...yeah id reckon 8k tops..sux i know when you probably paid double that 3-4 years ago..I know i did..bought off a mate thinking it was something special only to find its a dud old car with shit that keeps breaking and a mate that just says..it was fine when i sold it and it must be my fault...Bullshit...Its just another shitty old car now..I would seriously rather keep it and drive it than lose 5-10k on it...its still a great car to drive even if it isnt cool anymore :P

although i do find a few people are up for swaps....always another option, but every time im about to swap it i back out for some reason or another...maybe its fate and destiny toying with me..

Oh and lot of them are legit low kms..there toys so arent always driven daily...Ive done 6000 in 3 years, it sat in a shed for 3 years before that...factor in another year maybe for time spent in docks/auction yards/etc..thats 7 years on a 14 year old car...it has 130km on the clock which equates to roughly 15,000kms a year when it was on the road..sounds about right...

yer i reckon maybe you are right- my 2 cents about the km lol I reckon they are the most reliable cars out there, only thing that i had to change were the coil packs and that wasn't even that bad but i really make sure everything is running properly.

Do u mind me asking wat sort of swap you were looking aka wat can you get?

I'm thinking about taking the system out and put it on stockies...... easier to sell and probably end up a grand up or so

..haha.. i have a soft spot for old cars...every now and then ill see some classic and pull them up or email them if there interested in swaps..Get some interest but I always back out...But you never know what people will swap, just find something you like and ask them...

but your right they are reliable, only problem ive had was manifold studs and turbo bolts coming loose. i think it had a coilpack replaced but that was about 8 years ago ..it coughs and farts here and there, but always keeps running..If only the electrics were as reliable as the driveline..

its not a matter of what to expect, its what can you afford to let it go for and how long can you wait?

if you want it for 12k then be prepared to wait 12 months at least

if you want quick sale then put it up for 9k and anyone that calls will work you down to 8k so take it at 8

its a game of how long and how bad do you want to sell

Yer thats a valid point for sure! Honestly i'm prepared to be patient BUT i really don't like looking at adds that are over priced by 5k. Cars go down in value i want to sell it at a price i'm happy and the buyer is getting a good deal! Win Win situation for both- I'm not gonna give it away either.

if you got time part it out probaly make more money almost a quarter of ya cars value will be the wheels and a couple panels. only problem is it takes time and effort i'd say you looking 8k MAX.. not trying to be harsh but the re sale market is farked

Yer mate you are not been harsh at all, i'd rather honest feedback rather than be a dreamer.

Plus that is wat i'm also thinking- give/take 1k.

Worst case is putting stockies on and take the system out etc...... then i can easily let it go under 8k

Not really interested in parting it out i think at this stage i think, wouldn't mind passing it on the right hands and will look after it the way i did

Although i may keep it as there is nothing wrong with the car and i seriously enjoy it!

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      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

      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.
