Hi,

I am selling my much beloved Skyline and would love to offer it to genuine Skyline lovers. I have owned this for over 10 years and have not changed anything to it since it was imported in 2001. I am no mechanic and really dont know much on specs etc. I just loved the look and power. I have listed it on carsales & the trading post but not having much luck. Just look up the rego GTST25. The price i'm looking for is $9k and believe me it's worth it. $8.5k without roadworthy. Its very driveable and only needs a couple of things for the RWC. Front caster & tie rod end booshes, detach the blow off valve and maybe the 2 front tyres (maybe just ok). It has rego until Dec 2012.

I am buying a new car and unfortunately it is time to sell.

I should mention that this car is situated in Melbourne Victoria.

Reply with any questions and more than happy to respond. Dont make them too technical :)

Wouldn't be too concerned about price dude, they are just getting harder and harder to sell. I had a pretty stock R33 that I sold at the start of the year. Didn't own it for very long, but was in good condition, very clean and straight, tried to sell it for about 3 months and ended up letting it go for $6,500. Even at that price didn't receive too much attention. There's always a couple of people that are willing to let them go cheap as chips, and that's what 75% of people are expecting now.

Just be patient, and good luck with the sale.

Should I be concerned that no one is interested in buying my car ? Am I seriously asking for too much $$$. I really do not want to go below $8k...........

yea im in the same boat as you mate, people dont seem to buy cars like they used to.

It's the new generation of kids. They are too preoccupied with op shopping for vintage clothes to match their stupid hair cuts and no-lenses glasses.

Disclaimer: Just giving my insight because the thread has become conversational

All very true comments above. I've been studying economics this semester and I might be looking into it too much but i'm thinking firstly given the global economic condition of the world is showing a restriction on 'big spending' and the first thing to go in terms of economic hits is the luxuries. I would classify the Skyline as a luxury. It's an expensive thing to run especially with increasing petrol prices when all it does in a utility sense is transport you. Although we all worship the skyline here (I assume) I think there is a definite long-term shift in the demand for this kind of car. These days it's becoming more and more important and fashionable to be 'green' or socially aware. This car goes against that so I think we will definitely see a much smaller buyer market for this kind of car which means two things. Firstly some people will sell theirs and Secondly that less people want to buy them. This is a bad thing for the sellers. Less people buying and more people selling prompts a double shift of the demand curve. Thankfully this time around i'm on the buyer side, I have seen some really nice skylines go for as little as 6k and even then I considered it but was not prompted to act. Although I think if there were another skyline that I was happy with for 6k i'd take it.

There's my procrastination being joined with my revision for my economics exam.

Hopefully this post is well received I just thought i'd take a moment to give my insight from the perspective of my studies this semester. I'm not saying that you should sell your car for 6k just to be clear as the market for skylines is monopolistically competitive because each skyline is unique each seller has a monopoly over their product and can earn a greater profit than the market price if the uniqueness is capitalised upon.

I suggest if you want to get a good price for your skyline sell it based on what makes it unique to other skylines on the market.

Firstly get some more pictures up. sounds obvious but it might just be the right picture at the right angle that captures someone's attention so strongly they just need to have it. also you're probably losign a lot of people because they can't see many vital parts of the car and just close the ad. Engine bay, front, rear.

Thanks for your comments Jukic. I totally understand your point.

As far as more photos are concerned, the link to carsales has 12 photos and trading post has 9. I'll try and add more photos on this thread but I may have a problem with the actual size allowed in jpeg etc. Either way the uniqueness of this car is simple. Its clean, straight, hasnt been resprayed, always garaged and looked after. Never been in an accident & never thrashed. I'm 45 years old and too old for that. I'm a firm believer in that if you look after your car, the car looks after you. That has been the case in all the cars I've owned. A classic convertible Mustang is next.

Regards

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
