Hey guys,

I have come to a deliberation with my pride and joy. It only has basic bolt on mods & wheels. (pic below).

My question to you is... do you think I would get more for the car overall if I sold off the mods, and then sold the car stock? Or just sell it as it stands. More attractive to buyers with or without mods do you think?

I was in the same boat as you not long ago (get it? Cos the R33 is considered a boat? Get it? Get it?) and in the end, I sold it complete.

You would probably get more $$$ out of it if you were to part it out (and being basic bolt-ons, could be easy enough to do in your spare time) and sell it near enough to stock. I didn't have that option as the car would've required ALOT of stock parts and I just didn't have the time to do so.

I guess if you've got time (and don't mind delaying the sale), then part it out till it's almost stock. If you're after a quick sale, just sell it as it is :)

If they're just "basic" like exhaust, FMIC, pod filter, bleed valve etc it's probably best to leave it as-is, but if you have an aftermarket turbo, injectors, ECU, coilovers etc you should probably get more $$ selling it stock

Not trying to sound smug.

It's an R33 sedan - The interest on them is quite low - they are the most un-desired 4 door skyline IMHO.

If you want to move it fast, sell it with everything, but if you are happy to wait and have the stock parts - I'd sell the good bits separate.

I agree... It all depends on how motivated you are to sell quickly or not.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      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...
