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.

      Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.

      Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
