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......

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
