i'd say you are bang on.... it will still be hard to get...

i let mine go for less than that in the end as i just didn't want to spend the first few weeks/months of my sons life out trying to sell cars :rant:

sup playa.... what you driving this week man?

sup man

this week im driving a jzx90 with a side of traum kit, some lovely and epic suspension goodies and a hint of 1jz symphony emitting from a lovely fujitsubo exhaust.

lol

what are you in now?

a defect on wheels, you'll have to hold out until someone will pony up the money.

Should just part it out and sell it stock.

That's definetly on the cards, but was hoping that would be a "last resort" sorta thing as I'm forever busy with work and family so hoping an interstate buyer snaps it up as I would have to de-rego it and they'd have to get their own RWC anyway.

I was actually going to PM you, seeing as you're the only person I know of that has sold their modded '33 recently.

Judging by the number of genuine enquiries, I was thinking I was in the ball park in terms of figure but wasn't 100% sure so thought I'd ask you fellas.

How much did you end up selling your car for and did you supply a RWC for them too? Feel free to PM if you don't wanna discuss it in the forum :)

Clearly you love your Chasers!

LOL!

Yeah you might get lucky like that - but more often than not people strip and sell stock. Generally end up with more money that way.

I was almost at the point of doing that with my 33 to be honest, would've certainly got more in parts no question.

Hey,

Didn't wanna start a new thread for it but what do you guys reckon would be a good starting price would be for me to sell my car? I've had about a 7-8 enquires so far but no-one has been able to come up with the money (unable to get finanace, don't have enough money etc.).

I listed a starting price of $16,500 but was hoping for $15,000 or so once all is said and done. What do you guys reckon? Too high in the price range or should I be firm with the $15k price and just wait it out until someone does have the money?

I'd say anything over 12k take and run.

I maybe out of touch with the market though

R33 aren't worth shit these days. Too many of them around and too many of them making unreliable power with cheap shit parts, which is more appealing to the market of tight asses buying them...dragging down the quality cars with it.

Good bargains for people who've never owned one and aren't sick of them, or want a starter track car.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
