I thought I would make a thread about how much people really pay for there skylines and performance cars as opposed to "My car is worth X amount".

There seem to be a huge number of people with hands firmly planted on there dicks about how much there car is worth.

I recently got back into a skyline after selling my VE V8 (at a realistic price) and it was a pain in the ass sifting through all the crap that is overpriced. A good example is a guy with an R33 S1 with bolt ons who wants 18K.

I'll start with mine.

1996 R33 GTS-T 4 Door.

Manual

172000kms

Full Xforce Exhaust, K and N filter

Nice but not perfect condition. Airbags.

$4900 with Rego

Had just under 30,000km when I bought it 2.5 years ago, 49,000km on it now

Dealer wanted $38,000 paid $33,500 with 5 year warranty. Is now in the For Sale section for $28,000 ono. Will let you know what it actually goes for sometime in the future.

"Nobody wants 4 door 33s".

That is why you got your car for the price you did. but yes the retarded prices for the Coupes and Sedans(Considering what i just wrote about them) as well(11K for a turbo 4 door 33 with rims and a few normal mods lol).

A mate of mine swapped a iron block V8 ford that was worth about 3.5K for a series 1 R33 GTST with bolt ons.

The skyline however needed a new clutch, coilpacks and its paint is rough as.

only mods was got apex safc2-which i don't know to use it. and volks racing wheels three spoke.

and with one year rego.

should find some stock wheels for rwc. and few fixes which are minor.

'95 R33 GTR vspec

Midnight purple

Freshly imported

86,000 genuine km's (log books to prove)

Completely standard bar EVC, Mines cat back and tinted windows

$20,500 on the road.

Where!?!?!?!?!

Bought my r31 for $2000, spent about 20k on parts for my heavily worked n/a 26/30, computer, suspension, wheels, brakes, body kit, etc.

with the every dollar you pay for parts, you will add 30 cents to the value

so my 31 would be valued at about 8k but would prob sell for around 6k if i was to ever sell it (never would, rather auction it off to charity first)

So what you're saying is that your car is illegal and not insured. :sleep:

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
