Hi guys, are Skyline sedans not popular --or have they never been popular? I got a 2005 series II---very happy with it --TOP CAR, but i have to let it go. Its been on the market for 8 weeks.........& nothing! ---can't figure it out ? Its black, 3.5 litre and beautiful and asking $5K less than other series II's .... Any ideas???

2nd hand market is over stocked with too many cars.

ask siu_loong_bao aka Nelson - he just sold his S1 sedan - took him a while, he was on the verge of trading it in, one of the exit strategy left with shitty trade in price, until lucky he got a buyer. he was quoted under 11k for trade in.

what is your asking price? I sold my S1 v35 coupe, a more popular 2dr, for a little over $25k with all the goodies. that's about 5k what others were asking on the market. not what I was after, but that was my exit opportunity

sedans look way better it you ask me.. the 2 doors look like they need to take a dump or something :lol:

and you wonder why no one asks you :rofl:

sedans are a bit harder to sell as your competing with locally delivered maximas ...but just hang in there or if your in a rush to sell...then just drop the price till it hurts.

s...but just hang in there or if your in a rush to sell...then just drop the price till it hurts.

Or hope that Nissan makes the decision to bring the Infinity into Australia. Then just replace the Skyline insignia with Infinity, and watch the value climb as the label competes with BMW... Oh wait - is this not a dream? Oh Bugger... >_<

yeah you're deaming mate. LOL

I don't see how those Toyota Soarer increase in value when they slapped a Lexus SC badges on them...

at the end of the day when that happened (Infiniti arrives) most V35 on the market would be about 7-12 years old!

indeed....it hurted me a lot..and still hurts....check out my listing a few weeks ago...bargain basement price...now i just drive a shitty nissan dualis....lol

Hang in there!!

Sedans will always be a tougher market. The big attraction with imports is sporty coupes. Sedans are more "family" orientated and the general import buyer is not usually family folk :(

It's just depend on the buyer's choice. But V35 being an import, it will attract less attention than other sedans. Just hang on abit before making rush decision.

From personal point of view, I still think they are hot car when modded, with big rims, dumped and dark tint. ;)

yeah! that was my intention but 'life" got in the way :blink: --was going to do as per the pic.

Thanks for the input guys -appreciate it. I'll do the waiting game..enjoy it while I've still got it .......then worse case, trade-in......

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
