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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
