When selling a car if you're not in a rush. start high if it doesn't sell in a couple of months lower it by a couple hundred dollars. People are going to want to low ball you offers under asking price anyway. Just have patients. You don't want to lose money when selling a car.

Same ole thing. It's only worth what someone pays for it but...

I just recently sold my '96 R33 4door GTS25T with a few basic mods, tuned to just under 200kw.

(sounds like it may have been in better condition than yours)

$7500 with some spares and 3 months rego.

Pick a price you will not go below and try to get more. :thumbsup:

I love that saying. you didn't word it right though. take out the only

There's no rules when selling a car. try and get more money than what you bought it for and put into it so you make a profit. even if you can't sell it for profit, try and lose a less money as possible,

My guestimation would be between $3k and $8k, depending on transmission, overall condition and how quick you want to sell it

While a naturally aspirated sedan may be "rarer", it certainly isn't as in demand as a turbo coupe.

I've never understood why the natos go for more than the turbos.

Fairly sure it's because there are some p platers that are so desperate to have a "cool" car that they pay ludicrous prices for a piece of crap.

It's quite hard to put a price on something you can't see. But being a '93 model and the clear going I wouldn't be willing to pay anything more than 3-5k

P-plater tax. They all want an NA so they can have the image, then they can come on here and ask what everyone thinks of them putting "these" wheels and "this" kit on it because it's the best car ever and they will "just put a DET it" when they're off their Ps since it's "just a bolt-in mod". If we're honest with ourselves most of us thought exactly the same way when we were young, and hindsight remains 20/20.

Of course, in NZ we don't have the same restrictions, and a 16yo kid with fresh L plates can go out and mod an R35 to within a bee's dick of its life and remain legal, so any Skyline is subject to "RB tax" and is worth moonbeams whether it's roadworthy or not. RB Skyline = D1NZ champion, 47 years running. Allegedly.

You think the P Plate tax on NA skylines is bad - try buying any type R Honda. P platers flock to any Hondas, but the Type R's are particularly popular, meaning 99% of them have been modded and flogged to within an inch of their lives. Shame because they are fun little shopping trolleys.

I don't believe production figures is the core of the matter.

Go on carsales and look at how many more gtst's there are compared to gts. + OP has a 4 door which you hardly ever see = rare = more money.

I've never seen production figures but i spent months waiting for a immaculate gts to turn up. It was for sale for 7 and i got 6,500 for it with warranty. when there are gtst's going for 4k or so. Yes I bought my car because it's fun to drive and i'm proud i don't own a terrible car like a holden barina like half my friends. It has more then enough power for a p plater that is still learning to drive.

    • The two tyres U have mentioned are the same height as the profile height is a  calculated percentage of the width 
    • appears to be, I loosened the bleeder on top IACV and coolant came out.
    • The markings on a balancer are on the outer. The outer is separated from the inner by the rubber. The outer and the inner can, and will, slip against each other as the balancer starts to fail. Put a new balancer on it.

    • I just replaced the timing belt, along with tensioner, idler, water pump, etc. all the front end engine stuff with all new stock Nissan parts on my 98 R34 GTT that I just recently got, so glad I did as the belt ,tensor, idler and water pump were all original to the car with over 161 Km and looked absolutely terrible, honestly I cant believe the belt has not broken, luckily I have not driving the vehicle since I got it, and only have ran a few times because I've been restoring it over this winter. I turned engine over by hand and lined up all the timing marks from cams, to the head (plate behind pulleys), and crank to  oil pump block mark, as ran fine, but had a lot of front end noise. the idler sounded like gravel and the tensioner had to no tensor left on it at all as it appeared the spring had rusted in place due to a waterpump leak over the years. so the timing belt was very loose on the left or tensioner side. Never the less I turn engine by hand until everything lined up even with the marks on the original belt. I remove everything making sure not to rotate anything, then put in new tensioner,  idler, made sure all marks from belt matched marks on the pulleys, cams and crank alike and all marks from crank and cams to head and block were perfect. I slowly turned by hand and everything lined up on the cams and crank to the head and block every other time, as proper. all looked fine until I put the lower timing belt cover back on, then the  harmonic balancer, at this point before torqueing the crank bolt down I noticed the timing mark on the lower cover to the harmonic balancer is off. I think the marks on the harmonic balancer and in 5 degrees, from 0-20  and it should be at 0, but some how its around -2.5, not enough for a belt notch, and there is little play in this cover to the block. The key way and key are perfect on the crank and slot in balancer is perfect, no play here, and the cams and other timing marks seem to be on. Is this something to be concerned with or will it be fine. maybe just this way due to a new stock Nissan belt?? slightly tight and will stretch a hair??? I marked the CAS before disassembly and know it should be set to 15 degrees BTDC or so at 650 rpms per engine decal. so do I need to worry about what appears to be a slight retard of the mechanical timing? or will this slight difference be compensated when I adjust my CAS?   appreciate any insight.
