9 cars on carsales. But plenty through other websites, social media, and word of mouth. 

Most sought after cars are harder to find via carsales because it's the age we live in now. It wasn't that long ago you would look in the paper for an import, then carsales and now it's social media.

Please excuse my ignorance but where on Facebook is there a sale section for R32 GT-R's?

Link? Ta.....

I meant social media as a whole. There's hundreds of groups like gtr parts, buy swap sell gtr, skyline sales, etc.

I'm only a part of a few selected groups and see 32R shells and completes pop up every so often. More often then not it's someone who has blown the engine and can't afford to fix it. 

When i said 'plenty through other avenues' this does not mean right this very second, this means that they pop up in my feed. They pop up enough for me to write in here and give my view. Don't forget about word of mouth, I'm sure most who have contemplated selling their car would if the opportunity arose for an easy transaction.

 

There seems to be a bit of a fence in the car market. The ones who do the dealership and carsales thing, and the others who do the social media thing. The price gaps between the two are evident.

If you're on social media like facebook, Bob I'd be happy to add you to the groups i am apart of.

Yeah I have just noticed there seems to be fewer and fewer skylines on carsales these days, sad because I'm hoping to grab another r34 gt-t in the next 6 months. Maybe these fb groups will provide some hope haha, cheers!

Statistically or Stereotypically...

* Quality Skylines are more likely to appear in a forum f/s eg SAU

* Some quality Skylines are likely to appear f/s in Fb Clubs with Closed Groups

* Less quality Skylines are likely to appear f/s in Carsales

* Not many quality Skylines are likely to appear on Gumtree

...IMHO

Some truth in this, but also not entirely accurate.

I.E- It costs money to put a car for sale on CarSales.

It doesn't cost a cent to put a car for sale on a forum or FB etc. Therefor i'd say someone who is willing to spend money on CarSales would also be the type of person who has spent time/effort and money on their cars too.

Yep......... I'd rather contract Leprosy than try and restore that bugger!

You would need deep pockets and a lot of time for this rust bucket :(

It's not that bad, this will decimate all after you put about fifteen grand in it or more, and if we have to, overnight parts from Japan

It will certainly decimate you bank account, $15k could get the body rust and paint done,  maybe if you do most of the work it would be an interesting project.

The motor would be rusted as well and that alone would not be cheap to restore, then I would guess there would have been other problems to let it rot away like that

I would charge him if I took it , lol

A little bit rusty but a bargain at 8k :down:

LMAO $8K.  Hopefully nobody is stupid enough to touch it.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
