There was one a few months back at a dealer in vic. It was stock, dark blue reasonable condition not mint 140,000km sold for $15,500. I wouldnt want to sell mine for much less. if in good condtion, supply is getting low for good cars there is only 27 r33 gtst for sale on carsales and 85% of them are rubbish.

That's really helpful to know. Thank you!  

Wow R33 prices are starting to pick up a bit.

 

Even semi-clean examples with a tonne of KM'S are asking close to $15k:

What they're advertised for and what they sell for are 2 different things. As said in the first reply its what the market is willing to pay. Imo, if it's nice and neat, 7-10k sounds about right. If its absolutely immaculate and flawless with very low km then it could be worth a bit over 10.

That's why I asked the question. I found it difficult to find an r33 of similar condition to compare mine to and with a lot of the vehicles I've seen over the 10k mark, they have been mechanically modified so i can understand the asking price but they're not that neat looking. 

I'm not looking to sell mine but in the 13yrs I've had my car, this is the first time I've looked into the monetary value and after doing more research today, I can easily say, without prejudice, that she is immaculate so I'm rather stoked! Thank you!

Ps guys. Thanks for replying. I can finally see there are skyline owners who appreciate and look after their cars just as I do. I struggle to even spot an r33 on the road or for sale on line that is well maintained however coming to forum like this, I can see there are some remaining. Vxsr33, pic of ur car is prime example. Glad I came here. If anyone else has an r33 gtst 40th anniversary. Please join in. There's not much info about this model other than it was the last of the r33's produced. And only a guestimate of a couple hundred thousand being produced.  Would love to hear about your experiences and knowledge of this model. The only pet hate I have is that she's not responsive and lags on hot days (aircon on too) so if i were to modify, happy to hear of any reasonable suggestions you guys might have done with yours.

I personally think you could get around 11-12k, maybe a bit more if you wait for the right buyer. Someone who is just looking for a stock immaculate example that has been well taken care of.

If i were you and i wanted to sell I would probs put up for 14k on carsales with heaps of high quality photos and a detailed description. There aren't many r33s on carsales, they are overpriced and they don't look to be in great condition so yours would stand out in comparison.

Thanks, I take care of my car the best i can but it's far from immaculate condition.

I think turbo cars in general feel a lot more sluggish and less responsive in the heat than NA. Aircon on causes a noticeable performance loss, especially on skylines. A front mount intercooler could help keep the air temp cooler in hotter weather.

FMIC and E85 will take care of the hot days :)

But all turbocharged cars cop a power decrease in hot weather. You'd need extreme charge cooling to counter it.

Got one....and its not what's its valued at that is critical.........its what it would cost to replace it.  If you went to a '17ish vehicle with the same performance and cred... you wouldn't get much change out of $50K [and could double that for some, depends on choice] IMO. 

BTW mine cost me $27K in 2001 with the obligatory 40K on the clock.  Second hand [well probably third hand really, Japan owner, Australian importer/owner then me].

I also have a 97 S2.5 genuine LP2 Midnight Purple R33 GTST 40th Anniversary Coupe.

 

Imported 3yrs ago with 96,400kms, now has just touched 100,000kms.

Absolutely stock, inc cassette player , nissan cd stacker, oem exhaust, oem everything in mint condition.

 

Engine is absolutely stock, interior is mint. Stock automatic which has punch, so don't diss the auto's cause they are great.

 

Only mods are 18" rims.

 

With import papers, import approval documents etc. Insured for just over $20k+.

I might sell for the right price as Ive just bought an S1 MNP GTR. [emoji846]

I doubt you'd find any mint 40th Annoversary GTST's come up for auction/import so prices are just going up.

Insuring both is expensive to say the least.

They just look like regular mnp s2 gtst no 40th anni gtr wing or 40th front bar. 20k seems a bit rich.


Price well,
Its all just a matter of opinion really.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • 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.
