Prince GTB Value

Hi everyone,

I am new to this so please be patient.

I own a Prince Skyline S54BE-3. It is original with matching numbers. The wheel flairs were ruined by the previous owner. I had always intended restoring it but left it too long.Hence my name.

Everything is there except for the standard wheels and one LH guard lamp. Motor, Gearbox and Weber pack have been garaged on a pallet since I purchased the vehicle.

I want to sell the vehicle but have no Idea f what it is worth. Can anyone help.

Hi Christian,

I have owned it for 33 years. I only drove it twice. Then pulled the motor and box out to start restoration.

I still love it. Especially because it is all still there. Matching numbers. As a restored vehicle that would add value I think.

I have the same old story. Got busy with work and work on the Prince just stopped.

Now I don't have the energy.I also have a series 1 RX7 that is almost fully restored. Selling that as well.

Health issues.

Thanks for the comments

I did some searching and didnt find much. Few similar era skylines in Japan, but none had prices.

Might be worth asking some members of Classic Skylines Australia. Their facebook page might be the best bet. https://www.facebook.com/Classicskylines/

Hi.

No I didn';t obtain a price. Best guestimates were between 5K and 15K.I had numerous offers at the lower mark.

The death of my wife stopped my wish for an immediate sale.

It is still available but I still won't consider the lower end of the range.

Did you obtain a price? Have you sold it?

 

Mike,

Sorry I haven't spied this earlier. We have a number of GTB enthusiasts in the Nissan Datsun Sports Owners Club here in Melbourne. If you have trouble finding a buyer, can I suggest you contact Jason Quigg at [email protected]

Hi Blue.

The passionate guys I did speak to from the Prince club were all happy to tell me the car was only worth a few thousand due to the cost of restoration. Mind you the cost of components,If I were to wreck it, would be greater than my asking price. 

I came to the conclusion that the only way to get the true value for the vehicle was to restore it. Top to bottom.

Thanks for your input but the experts all seem to be more passionate about scoring another bargain rather than actually giving any real advice. That's why I have withdrawn it from the market.

Regards

Mike

    • I am probably calling this too early but I think I found what part of my problem is. I have a couple of dents that are fairly close to each other and I tried to fix them individually. Recently I put one larger coat across all the dents and sanded it and for the first time ever it's all even except for the edge where the bare metal is, I just need to put some putty there. I'm ordering some better longer blocks that are more flexible. Other good news is that the other repairs on my panel are flat even with the guidecoat. It's these 2 dents which are an absolute c*nt l lol.
    • Murray will have better input, but I'd be going with less filler, and aimed at the low spots mainly, and hence won't need as much sanding, which then means get the guide coat on earlier. That's how I'd do it, BUT, I'm not a pro, I'm a DIY hack who will then get the shits halfway through, and have one spot awesomely repaired, and the other spots look like a 3 year old was left unsupervised with workshop tools...
    • Where is the most common place to locate it? Disappointing that Garrett won’t make a fitting for it since they know everyone will use it
    • A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
