I had massive hassles selling my r34 for a price I was going to be happy with so I sold my s14a drifter instead and gonna build the 34. The skyline is a much better car IMO anyway it's just the s14a was all built ready to go

well i bought a stock as a rock 98 4 door turbo auto, 5 years ago.... i paid $28000, this was back when they were relitively new to aus, i have since lowered it decent stereo, full 3'' turbo back exhaust fmi, the past 12months, ive been trying to sell it, thought id get 18 for it, but now im in a bit of debt and i had it for sale for $8000 no roady no rego and had one guy look at it. it has just over 160 thou on the clock... what am i doing wrong?

Holy crap. Yeah I paid over $35K for mine about 4 years ago - was looking to sell but not willing to lose that much money - much rather hit the track and smash it instead.

Unfortunately the import market is saturated IMO, and it's a buyers market with the cost of living these days....I blame that Labor party :whistling:

You'll get less money and less want for a 4 door auto, so relative to the price I'm selling mine for yours is on par.

Totally agree, I blame them too :)

I have been plugging your car to a mate, Jay, but he is one of these guys that won't buy it simply because I have one :rolleyes:

I for one am looking forward to a change of government. Being a qlder I am being fkd over by women at both levels.

I blame that Labor party :whistling:

Bingo!

Bingo!

The entire market (except food, liquor & essentials) is down...

Australia is not spending their money, we are shopping more online than ever before and we are killing our local retailers...

More than 1 in 4 Aussies work in retail, hence the problem...

i had it for sale for $8000 no roady no rego

This will put a lot of people off. They think they're buying a lemon. I did the same with a 7 year old Magna I'd owned since new a few years ago. It had a cracked windscreen and just couldn't be arsed getting it roadworthy, even though it was still registered at the time of advertising. People stayed away in droves, even at $6k asking price (equivalent models were selling for $12k at the time). I ended up trading it for $4k (TH manual sports - supposedly sought after in Magna circles.......apparently)

I'm in the same boat at the moment. Trying to sell my R33 (which I believe is your old one, Col!) and I'm not having too many enquiries. Even the time wasters are eerily quiet. The country is entering a recession but from talking to a few business owners here on the Gold Coast it's extra bad off here already.....

What do you guys reackon, have I priced her correctly/cheaply and need to play the waiting game, or am I dreamin' with the price??? (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/346233-1996-r33-gts-t-series-2-gold-coast-qld/)

that's her... wow, it makes me feel all funny to see her again...

so many hours labour, so much money to build & so much fun...

you must have bought it since i sold it i guess?

you gotta be willing to hang onto it... $15k is too cheap for her... just wait for the market to bounce...

cant get a clean S2 for less than 10-11k in stock form, little loan a monster one...

i put 15k just in the engine bay when i owned it over 3 years...

your add should read "$15k for engine, comes with free car"

I sold my 33 non turbo 2 door about 12 months ago now - Almost factory but it looked like new, sold it in about 1 week. Had about 3-4 enquiries on the day it went onto car sales and sold it for 10k about 5 days after it went online. The guy that bought it took it without hesitation straight away with no checks - my mechanic was upset I sold it for as low as 10k...

I think my biggest seller was: RWC, clean photos, showed all receipts, all services and reports and even my old racq inspection.

GL with your sale mate but more importantly, good luck with your wedding - It only happens once mate so enjoy!

That's lucky mate.

Thanks :)

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
