Skyline GTR R33 with 7000km for future sale, price suggestions?

Hello everyone. This post is in regards to a 1997 Nissan Skyline GT-R BCNR33 Manual 4WD, which I hope to sell to the top bidder.

The brief backstory:  My father was a car lover, he purchased this R33 and barely ever drove it because he wanted to keep it in immaculate condition. It was his toy he would admire from the garage.  My father died 6 years ago and the family has held onto the car, but now we are ready to sell it. It has 7255km on the clock and is in perfect condition, barely driven, never raced, never modified. Always stored in a garage with a car cover over it.   It currently is garaged in Melbourne and the rego has been renewed about a week ago. It is roadworthy and working, obviously.


I would make a post in the 'for sale' section of the forums, but I genuinely have no idea what its worth. I have been offered $40,000 about 3 months ago, after I made a post on this forum in the 'for sale' section, which was taken down (again, as I didn't quote a price).  I am now posting it again, ready to sell, with pictures to the highest bidder. A car enthusiast once told me it may go as high as $70,000 as it is show ready? Who knows. I am posting here to find out.

I am welcoming any offers via private message. If you have more questions about the car, please post them here as a reply to the thread, so that I can post the answers and save myself repeating the same questions to others.

Please find attached a few photos. I have more if you desire a photo of a certain section of the car.20161019_161853.jpg

Its worth more than $40K in todays market.

This one sold for 4.5 million Yen

http://www.exportcar.jp/en/component/auctstat/?view=auctstatdetail&id=lHuSqwfNJuJYbsn

This one sold for 3.6 Million Yen

http://www.exportcar.jp/en/component/auctstat/?view=auctstatdetail&id=6UEmtMLqcW4ixn

That's $75K and $62K respectively, landed, complied and registered.

That's your current yardstick.

Beautiful car, good luck with the sale.

This 10,000km R34 sold for 7,050,000 JPY.

http://www.exportcar.jp/en/component/auctstat/?view=auctstatdetail&id=lHWYgeH5dNAs8Nm

That's over $120K........ Landed/Complied and Registered.

Good luck finding an R34 with less than 10,000 kms for $70K.

That boat sailed a long time ago.

those above cars are no doubt going to countries other then Australia though. I understand the price of GTR's has sky rocketed but to use cars going to other countries with far better exchange rates to the yen isn't really relative to something selling locally.

Unfortunately everything in Australia is affected by the exchange rate at the time.

If Skylines were locally built cars in mass volumes then yes, it matters little but the overseas prices are the reality.

There are 11 R34 GT-R's for sale on Carsales/Carpoint and the cheapest is $70,000.18 months ago, they were in the mid $40K's.......

There are also 11 R33 GT-R's for sale and only two are under $30K.

Of the 14 R32 GT-R's for sale (barring a couple of junkers) they pretty much start at $26K.

To say our prices are not effected by what goes on overseas simply doesn't stack up with what is going on in the marketplace.

Have a look at 1984-1989 air-cooled Porsches, 18 months ago you could get the best one in the country for $65K.

The same car today is $135-$150K......... Collector cars are bought by collectors, not enthusiasts.

Take your pick....... http://www.classicthrottleshop.com/classics.htm

Sweet, I picked it from the build number. Am trying to keep a close eye on the market for them at the moment 

They are just at that transitional stage.

Almost "no man's land".... Too old for a daily but not old enough to be a classic.

In 6-7 years time they will be very collectable. Good value at the moment.

He never said it doesn't have an affect on aus. What he said was, other countries can spend more because their exchange rate is better.

It is a known fact that more people like the 34 more because boy racer and they are 2fast2furious.

You need a REAL collector to buy this at anything near the asking price.

Agree, I have decided to either let the sti or the gtr go and am currently torn about which one

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
