errrr lol? Welcome Astushi....

so what you were trying to say is that a real racer will by a skyline to keep and use, not with the mindset to sell and make money (fairly difficult with any car). Fair call.

No he's saying he's a poser and you shouldnt listen to him.. He isnt from japan or anything.. He has a NA S13 which he can't drive for shit.. He is infact La Bomba and you prob won't have him posting on here anymore..

99% of cars depreciate.. Buy the car you want and not worry about resale value.. Skylines don't sell fast though..

i tired selling mine a few times, the last time for 4 months gave up had heaps of time wasters, tyer kickers, it seams people now want everything for nothing, you even see it in the forums now, someone wants to buy a skyline get offered a few clean examples, then goes buy's a cheaper one, then a few weeks later posts about how he has fix this and that, or this has broken or should this should like this, i bought my 33 pretty cheap 3 years and boy did it have some issues, bottom line is like its been said a thounds times before, if you want a skyline wait till the right one come up for sale and spend the money its worth, cause in the end would you rather be driving or thinking i have to fix this this and this, if i could have my chance i would have waited and saved for the right one after someone else did all the hard work.

Like alot mentioned before, resale sucks with all cars especially selling new cars. Imports are evern more harder to sell.

That's why, with that in mind, I am not planning on selling my V35 coupe for foreseeable future. Also, that's why I bought a non-import Dualis instead of another import when I was looking for a daily car so it won't be as hard as an import to sell if I have to sell one of them one day. :P

I bought a 32 GTR on Tuesday for 11.5k, bargain at 83kkm and stock besides the pods mines ecu and exhaust, but he wanted it gone. Justcars think it is way below market price of 17k, so going to assesor on monday to increase the agreed from 11.5 to 17 or so :D

Anyway, moral of the story, it is always difficult to compare one car with another, hence the huge range in price. And it does depend a lot on the seller and buyer what it eventually goes for.

But, there is definitely a lot more skylines around than say 5 years ago, so the price drop is definitely going to be more.

Got logbooks then? -_-

Yeah, this is the space in which I wanted to get the conversation happening. I can totally understand why they are harder to sell, due to the myriad of reasons stated so far. But hey, that goes with the territory I guess...

Just wondering, what should a buyer ask for in terms of documentation eg. log books, import documentation and the like? Is there anything that can substantiate mileage apart from visual wear and tear and other obvious give aways?

So the dash cluster says 83,000km and you believed it? How cute.

I wish you the best of luck, but you may have an expensive few years ahead of you.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
