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

Because they made a shit tone more turbos then n/as. for p platers there are so many restrictions that makes the skyline one of the best car available for the price. But when you have you're full license there is so much more variety.

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.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
