I'm toying with the idea of selling my 96 R33 GTR LM Vspec. As much as I love the car and have thoroughly enjoyed upgrading and improving it, I barely ever drive it these days and I keep seeing other toys that I would like to have.

Just looking at what is going on in the market at the moment, there seems to be a lot of imports available and prices appear to be fairly low. I don't want to have to give the thing away just for the sake of getting rid of it, i'd rather keep it if that's the case.

Thoughts???

Cheers,

JD

I'm amazed (and disappointed!) at how cheap a standard 33 GTR can be bought for at the moment.

Unfortunately money spent on them is all down the drain.

Lucky it's good fun playing with them and driving them cause it's gunna bite you in the arse come resale time!

I'm in the automotive sales industry and it's not just Skylines that are suffering. Things are so competetive from a new car perspective that used car values are driven down as a result.

Hopefully once consumer confidence comes back in the future things correct themselves a bit and go back up a bit.

In answer to your question I would hold onto it until you find something else you REALLY want cause it's gunna hurt!

JD, all of the above posts are spot on.

In addition to those, I can only suggest that particular care be paid to how you market the car. This will make your car attractive enough to enquire about.

Your manner on the phone and your frankness about even the slightest flaw may then convince the prospective buyer to pay a visit.

When the prospective buyer knocks on your front door, it should be in pristine condition.

I have more comments to make about all 3 points ^^^ if you wish to PM me.

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.

      Time to decide what’s more import, your power level or your budget because you’re going to struggle to keep both
