Hi,

I am WANTING TO BUY your car.

SYDNEY preferably, NSW possibility.

R32 , R33 , Coupe, Turbo, Manual (Silvia's, Cheap R34's possible)

Under 150KM's

Prefer some style of LEGAL body kit.

Must have RWC + have a good chance of surviving DEFECT check (plumb back bov, unexposed air filter, wheels not exceeding 25mm of original width, 100mm clearance, subtle engine bay) or a price that reflects DEFECTABLE modifications.

You know it is a BUYERS market at the moment, so REALISTIC offers only.

Budget $0-$12k ono

Before you offer please get an idea of what your car is worth.

R32

Stock Relative Low KM's $6000

R33 SI

Stock Not Silver Relative Low KM's $7000

R33 SII

Stock Silver Relative Low KM's $10000

These cars have been listed for a while now and have not sold at those prices.

Silver R33/R34's are worth less. Gunmetal R32/R33's are not silver.

Please don't tell me that your car is worth more because you modded it heaps. They are often worth much less. Modifications done properly, by professionals, with certs/papers are different. This is not the 90's anymore and modded cars are getting defected left, right and center.

I work as a college lecturer with ranging hours, so viewing during work hours can be arranged.

If you have a car suitable please PM me or reply below.

Yes, the links I have posted link to carsales adverts.

Yes, there are many cars on carsales.

Yes, I have contacted many car owners over the last two weeks, but very few have replied, making me think they either do not want to sell their cars, are not getting the messages, do not check their emails, are new to computers or are scammers.

Yes, I am also looking here, tradingpoint, ebay, and carpoint, importers, even considering importing from NZ as the cars are so cheap there with the high AUD, yahoo.jp, gumtree.

No, that is not the point of this thread. So..

Thank you for your unrelated comments :rolleyes:

Really only looking for people that have a car that fits the above description to PM/comment.

Mate you have done your homework on models & their prices, but i see a potential flaw in your listings. While you have prices for the earliest of each model as close to stock as you can find them nowdays pretty much, a modified car will save someone $1000's when done properly as you mentioned, particularly if they are planning to continue modifying theres $1000's already done. Later manufacture dates for each model will generally demand a higher price, eg 94 R32 vs 89 or 90 R32.

Ive currently got my 1992 R32 GTS-T for sale, starting at $10K which im not honestly expecting to get (id be stoked if i did, & a mate of mine sold his for this only a month ago so it certainly is possible), but will be dropping the price of mine soon. Given the mods & receipts for money spent on it ($10K of genuine receipts for work & parts), i believe my car would be worth $8K-$9K with its current rego, & having cleared a blue slip inspection following a previous defect. Yes its got 194xxx kms, but gets driven regularly & has no problems. Still has good fuel economy & is making good power with legal mods, excluding only the boost controller which can be disconnected easily enough.

If youre after a near stocker, your prices are close & good luck with the search. If you wanna consider something with more kms than youve specified, have a look in my posts. Be aware its the same red colour as the link you posted for the R32, which people either seem to like or dislike for some reason, there seems to be no in between views.

If youre after a modified version for those prices, keep searching & you may find 1 but id think its gunna take a fair while....

Thanks for reply. I agree mods can save a lot, but they can also cost a lot, especially if defected.

Cheers for the info, I have looked at this car once, but will take another look. The KM's are a put off but will talk to you by PM.

I would not take it for free.

I would not take it even if you paid the costs of ownership swap and one year's rego.

And just to help you out, why wouldn't I?

1. Rego stopped recently? 60,000km is not recently.

2. You want to trade it for an rego'd auto? You already have a rego'd auto..

3. Car is mechanically excellent? A 20 year old car with an estimated 300km on the clock? Trade it in. For another rego'd auto. I imagine you will get more than what you are asking.

4. This is nothing like what I have advertised I am seeking. Wrong brand, wrong KM's, wrong body type, wrong transmission, wrong ... everything.

5. Your level of english in the ad is much better than in the forums. It is so bad in the forums you come across as moronic. You can say "whatever this is just a forum", but a forum is a purely place of communication, therefore it is even more important here. And experience has taught me that if you lack those basic communication skills, the socioeconomic group that you belong to will be far down the food chain. As a result the car has probably not had the nicest of lives, nor been taken care of as well as it should have been (i.e, with the right oil, servicing, driving). While this is not always true, it mostly is. I know lots of people using that type of language on forums, but not a good idea when you are advertising something.

6. Tri-spokes? 3 which have center caps? Really..

7. I only have one car park.

Like I said, the ad itself is actually alright. Well presented, good communication skills. And (some) people will buy anything.

Good luck selling the car.

Black R32, $7k flat.

All stock, it's got a pod filter done by previous owner but i've got the original air box.

227,000KM... the previous owner drove from Greenacre to the city and back.

Got dynoed, is mechanically sound. 152kw atw at 12psi boost.

Bought it to modify it, but my boss raged at me for buying it whilst on my Ps, as well as a couple others, so I'm going to sell it if someone wants it.

Hey there Wrench,

I know you have mentioned that you have been dutifully scouring the online car sites but I thought I might bring this one to your attention. I have been considering checking it out but the location is a little off putting.

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=10019787&__Qpb=true&Cr=12&__Ns=pCar_LastModifiedDate_DateTime|1&keywords=&__N=1216%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294963846%204294963593%20898%204294795819&SearchAction=N&silo=1011&seot=1&tsrc=allcarhome&__Nne=15&trecs=52&__sid=1298860558DD

If you want some company on the trip I will come along for the drive, we could make a day of it. Maybe pop into the capital and get some fireworks. Let me know if you are interested.

Regards.

Sounds exciting ..

Actually I have sent that advertiser a message and not heard back from them. The post was also updated recently, and as some people on SAU have proved they will wire strangers money regardless of the risks. Makes you wonder.

Also, as you said, it is pretty far away.

Thanks for your unrelated comments.

Don't get too lonely mate.

:mellow:

Edit: Use your spare time more wisely. Take a basic economics class. Or just google market value.

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
