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.

    • That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.
    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
    • So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them
    • I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
    • Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.
