Hey Guys

Now this isn't a sell my car thread but just looking for a bit of advice. I've recently moved to the UK due to my partners family reasons and I have had to unfortunately put my car up for sale :( Was thinking about transporting it over but the costs of doing that and the prices of cars here won't make much sense doing it.

So I'm a complete Numpty in selling a car privately as I have never done it before and I have had my ad up on car sales for a week and half now and I have not had one person contact me. I've got it up for $12,500 which I thought was a fair price considering the condition my beloved V35 is in but i guess not

here is the ad I put up

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-2004/SSE-AD-3101714/?Cr=16&sdmvc=1

So any advice on what I should be selling it for? I'm in no rush to sell, it's currently sitting in my parents massive garage with no finance owing but I'm wanting a few people to be interested in it

I think the price is quite reasonable. it's just not a good time to sell, lots of cars for sale and not as many buyers, especially for 'niche' cars like these. Some have had to wait months for a buyer to come along. The reduction in the value of the Yen is also making it very cheap to import one of these.. which isn't helping local sales either.

Yeah, be prepared for a selling period of around 6 months. Even when I sold my R34 and S15 previously it took a LOOOOOOONG time. As awesome as these cars are, the market is flooded and people generally don't know what the heck they are, even after all these years.

Leave the price as is, it's very fair.

It's a popular colour and a great car... the only two aspects that may put off a buyer is the level of trim (eg: non-Premium pack) and those rear park sensors.

Even so, it's priced well and looks mint :)

Do you plan to renew the rego when it expires? It is highly unlikely that you can sell it before Dec 2014... And people will have a lot less incentives to buy an unregistered car.

Also your Carsales ad said the car is regularly serviced in North Sydney Nissan, but the car has a QLD plate and your location is QLD as well. Would that be a typo?

Other than that the car looks great - a reasonably price for 80k genuine mileage and decent condition.

It's good that you're not in a rush to sell, as many people have commented that the market has taken a hit.

$13K seemed like a fair price when I was looking 12 months ago. You may have to price yours a bit less as it's non-premium, non-colour matched parking sensors, 17" wheels, etc.

Hopefully you get a decent price!

Great thank you for the advice fella's :)

I'm from Queensland and bought the car in Queensland but lived in Sydney for a year and didn't bother changing the rego, I had a strange inkling I was going to move again ha!

Im definitely going to pay another 6 months on rego as by the sounds of it my dad is having fun with it on the weekends. Will keep price as is.

haha I didn't really notice the parking sensors but you guys are probably right, not much I can do about it now though as I'm already in the UK.

Have had 5 people save it as their favourite on car sales so I guess thats a start. Still gutted I'm selling though it's like giving up the family dog.

Have you thought of putting this on Fleebay ? I'm not sure of the cost , it's % of sale thing and it ain't much , used to be a place for crappy not worth the listing price beaters but since carsales got cheeky with their prices and the pic link sizes are shit fleebay has some surprisingly good vehicles on the site.

Just a thought--- :)

If you've still got it late Dec I'd be a goer for it and the Qld reg would suite me just fine as that's where I'm stuck for the foreseeable future :turned:

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
