Hi Guys,

So of late I've started thinking of selling the skyline as I'm looking for a ute.

Wondering what sort of money I could be chasing?

Car has been serviced religiously and mods have all been done professionally done.

It runs perfectly and the only reason for the sale is I want a ute

Car is:

R33 S2 skyline Silver body in perfect condition

30x xxx kms

5 spoke 18inch mags

GCG Hi Flow Turbo

TRUST turbo back exhaust

Coilovers

Heavy Duty clutch

Running safely on 11psi and dyno'd at 226rkw (turbo can handle a lot more)

Any thoughts on what I should be asking for would be appreciated.

I'll work on finding some pictures!

haha yep!!! I was wondering whether to leave that off.

even when I had the hi-flow done the guys didn't believe it had that many k's and went how it does!

The k's are mostly mine as its my daily driver - always serviced every 5000 and has had its timing belts, etc.

I bought my clean one for just under 9k that was with a roadworthy and extensive major service done 6months proir to purchase. Bought @ 108,00ks

I reckon maybe 8k on car sales if you provided a compresison test for the engine and drivetrain is reasonable.

Also has the 300,000k service been done?

thanks for the feedback guys :)

I'll see what the trade in offers are like - its a shame about the km's as it looks like it will impact the price big time.

I've got my heart set on a ute now!

Yep all services done.

I've always made sure that when something wore out (shocks, clutch, turbo, etc) that I tried to do things right.

GCG turbo is 12 months old (over 2 grand), clutch is 18 months old (2 grand) coilovers about 24 months (2 grand) etc, etc

Happy to hear any more comments - ill have a look at what else is out there and what they are going for see if I can price it accordingly. It drives great but I do understand about the kms!

Thanks!

Chuck up some pics and get a rough idea on what you could trade it in for, then add a bit onto that and see what bites :) if it was a bit more average condition with those kms, I'd consider snapping it up to thrash it lol...but that's just me :P

most caryards willnt trade it (import). including mine! i have a a 2006 vz thunder ute with 130km imaculate inside and out AT (v6) white hardcover if you sell your car. one owner got 15990 on it you can have it for 14,000

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
