Hey guys,

What is a reasonable price to sell a R33 series 2 1996 model at? Non-turbo, Automatic.

Its currently turbo converted with a few mods, but I'm thinking of converting it back to NA if I can get a better price.

Had a quick browse on carsales and realised there is a shitload of R33s, all between 8-12k that are factory turbo and manual.

Lol yeah I also made a thread about whether to convert it from NA to turbo, which I did and it was a good decision considering the car runs well and is very fun to drive.

After a good browse on car sales, there aren't many NA's for sale, and even less series 2's or in black.

I am thinking a price of 10-11k in NA condition with some mods remaining would be a good price. What are people's thoughts?

Oh and i'l also have a complete turbo conversion for sale if i do go ahead.

Hmmm.

I think you'll stuggle for more than 8k to be honest. Given that every P-plater wants a manual, you're at a big disadvantage trying to get that much for an auto. Can get clean R34 autos for that much and manual R34's are going to as little as 13-14k these days and I know you said it's modded, but kids are stupid these days. They'll sooner spend a heap of money modding their stock car rather than save money from the beginning and buying a modified one.

Lol yeah I made that mistake once, not again. Seing as there are so many turbo R33's on the market, I think going back to the NA route I'l get more money with the car and parts that I sell.

Thanks truffles.

All I can say is good luck.

I've had two people interested in my car and one tyre kicker... I paid for the premium ad on carsales too.

I've got mine up for 11.5k which isn't too bad. Last guy had it up for 14 which was over priced.

I got a non-turbo R33 (automatic) as well, and it's a series 2, I had my full license when I was purchasing it just because it's cheap and in good condition. But now I am really disapointed with the power, and considering on selling or swapping it, I would be really happy if someone likes to swap with a manual GTS-T, I'm even willing to pay more dollars to him if his vehicle is about the same condition as mine.....:(

Btw, my car has ran about 120,000km, 96 model in silver, how much do u guys think I can sell it reasonably...?

Sell it for 10-12k to some p plater and buy a gtst for 7-8? Pocket the difference or start on mods?

I don't have money to modify it... and I know it's much harder to sell a modified vehicle with a higher price

Still I can't believe anyone can sell a non-turbo R33 for 10-12k, coz even some non-turbo R34s are around the same price...

Sorry that was slightly exaggerated, the autos are a bit less but with decent kms and being a series 2 you should make some cash buying a series 1-2 gtst. I was saying spend the made money on mods, modding before selling is a waste.

Thanx! I'll consider about it. btw, how much would the insurance be for Justcar if I bought a gts-t (almost a stock one)? and I'm 22 right now with full license.

I was 22 when I bought my gtt, it was $1900 for the first year, the second was $1600.

That's horrible price..... just comparing to the vehicle itself......

I only spent 400+ on my non turbo, now I think to pocket its slowness is a good advice from u :closedeyes:

That was for full comprehensive of course. You only spent 400 on an NA?! I spent more than that on a 90s camry when I was 20!

I see, urs was full comprehensive, that's why. I only bought the third party + steal and fire

So what about third party for a gts-t, how much u think it would cost?

Interesting, just did it for me on a 96 gts and gtst and 3rd party were both 292, and the comprehensive for gtst was $400 more at $1670 than the gts.

I guess it's just a basic number they use, the big costs only come up when you hit a ferrari anyways.

I personally wouldn't go 3rd party on a car worth more than 3 or 4k, it's just too much of a gamble. And if someone hits you it's far easier having your insurance company pay you quickly than chasing some douche through the courts trying to get payment (it's easy for the insurance companies who have lawyers on hand).

      Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it

      Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)

      1992 R32 GT-R Race Car

      By bardabe · Posted

      I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.
