Hey all. 

It’s been a while since paying any interest to my old hobby. 

I am looking at selling my R32 but have no idea what it’s worth. 

can anyone offer genuine advice and of what my car is worth.

The car has been driven a no more than 50kms in the last 6 years, it has 93000kms on the clock  

 

1993 R32

Rb30 soc running 19psi 

Forged pistons

Hbeam rods 

gt35/40 turbo

50mm waste gate

Eboost2 

Custom plenm 

Big intercooler 

3” stainless exhaust turbo back 

wade stage 2 cam

Microtec lt10s ecu with dash

M&W pro10 cdi & fireball coil

Fuel lab regulator 

880cc injectors

All new high temp spark plugs and leads

Bosh 044 fuel pump with surge tank 

rb25 gearbox 

1000hp clutch 

one price tail shaft 

longer diff gears 

The car was painted 13 years ago and had lived in a garage the whole time I have owned it ( 17 years ) there are a few scratches and dints but nothing major. 
 

 

I am sure there is more but can’t remember. 

 

Thanks in advance fellas.

It's 2020. All Skylines are worth $100k.

- Non turbo R32 GTS that's been outside and hasn't been turned over in a decade? $30k
- 1994 R33 GTST Automatic with ebay parts and Nismo dash? $25k
- 1989 GTR 32 with 300k kms and 'Jasma' brand exhaust $50k
- 1995 R33 GTR, white with yellowed headlights $65k

The world's gone nuts. Ask what you want for it, there are plenty of dummies out there who'll pay $30k+ for it.

Not saying it's a bad car, it's actually very nice and I like it. But the market is dumb right now, take advantage of it.

Thanks for the replies fellas. 

  Well i didn't think they would be worth that much but i guess they are worth what people are willing to pay..... I would be happy to get $30k!!!!! 

  In regards to the power, i cant remember but it was around the 500hp mark last time i had it on the dyno a few years back. 

 Over the next few months i will be getting it tuned and cleaned up for sale so i will report back when i know. 

  I appreciate all the feed back. 

 

Marketed right, 30k minimum in this market

In 5 years time it won't be worth half that

A market can’t really be dumb...cars are simply worth what someone is willing to pay. But someone can definitely be upset at the market when they can’t afford what they want ;)

I'm upset with the market because I would prefer it if my car was still worth $10k instead of probably $30k. Given that I am never going to sell it, the "value" now does me no benefit now, never will, and only actually causes me problems (insurance will cost more, replacing it should it get damaged will be impossible, mongs will want to steal it more than they did 5 years ago, etc etc).

I’m in the same boat with an R33 GTR...so I know the financial burden gentrification of the classic vehicle creates...nonetheless, that’s an incredibly first world problem to have 😉

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
