1997 GTST for sale, located in brisbane

Well it looks like I may be selling my white R33 GTST. It currently has 116k on the clock. I was the first owner in Australia and have had it since 2007, it had 40k on the clock when I bought it. The car is in really good condition with a fair few mods. Im looking to get $16 000. I will be taking it today for a nice wash and have a few things from my list to finish off that are half done before taking any pictures but am hoping to find someone who is interested in it now. The car has a flex fuel and gets just under 310kw on e85 and 290kw on 98 with a pretty safe tune. I spoke with my mechanic and he doesnt see any reason why it wouldnt pass a RWC and I'll be getting that done as soon as I can. I honestly wouldnt be selling it except for the fact I need a 4 door. Possibly interested in trades + cash either to or from me depending on the car.

Mods:

New tires this year

18" wheels, wider wheels on the back with 275 tires

Full turbo back exhaust

Jim barry clutch

FMIC

Vipec ecu

td06 turbo 2 years ago

1100cc id injectors with fuel rail

highflow fuel pump

upgraded fuel reg

coilovers - set to legal height

reconditioned radiator 2 years ago

reconditioned exhaust manifold 2 years ago

all suspension bushings changed last year

gps locating alarm

Clarion fold out head unit with polk speakers all around (I have 2 12s in the boot in custom fibreglass enclosures, the enclosures need some love as I didnt get the carpeted and havent sorted them out to paint but may keep the subs/amp and include the enclosures only)

Meerkat boost gauge pod with HKS boost gauge

Nismo speedo (came with the car new but when the tack started bouncing I changed the rest of it to a GTR and swapped the nismo speedo in)

I have a spare rear ganish that lights up and is all ready to be put in, just havent got around to it

The bad:

Wheels need a spray as the shadow chrome is peeling and there is a little gutter rash (that was there when I bought the wheels)

Clearcoat is coming off

small chip in the front indicator surround (someone backed into me with a towball and took off)

Needs a tune (it stall from time to time when the RPMs drop, coming to a red light for example)

Drivers seat is showing a little wear

If interested please give me a call or text 0416 627 645 and I'll get some photos up as soon as I can. Hard when you got 2 under 2 lol

Anyone interested before i put it up on carsales? Would take 14.5k as it is. Spoke with my mechanic and he reckons it wont need anything for rwc but you may need to borrow a stock airbox

Is no one looking for a r33 or am i asking too much? Its getting a good wash today and up on carsales tonight. Would consider offers, really need to move it. Put 2k into it this week with service and tune

Thanks for that and I realise that Im in the 34 area but considering Ive done the majority of the upgrades in the last couple years I'd think that it would be worth 15k. I would've let it go for a fair bit less if someone had grabbed it off me before the work done this week... probably going to get the wheels reconditioned as well then up on carsales for 15.5k, maybe a little less for one of you guys though

Put it this way, i just bought a s1 with same mods for 6k in qld for a friend. I also couldnt sell my old gtst for more than 10k with 300kw, haltech etc etc. Max these go for is 8 - 10k and they need to be immaculate. end of the day they are a 20 year old mass produced coupe. Nothing to warrant a high price. GLWS just my 2 cents.

Thanks for your opinion. If i saw one like this for sale at 6k id but it for spare parts. I put almost 2k in last week with a service and tune. I'll let it go for 13.5k firm

Thanks for your opinion mate. I just cant understand where you think 9.5k is the price. If you search car sales now for the same model/year you will find 8, one auto. Lets take the auto out... that leaves 7 with 3 lower priced and 3 higher priced. Now if i look at kms there are 2 with lower. Im open to offers but if you have a look at whats around now mine is good value at 12.5k, id probably negotiate a bit 

What you will also see from those car sales ads, is that that is their asking price, it isn't what these cars are actually selling for. There's a reason they sit for so long on car sales.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
