Hey Guys, I’ve been on SAU for about 15 years but not been active for a while. Time has come to sell my 32R but as I’m not close to the scene anymore I’m looking for some feedback on how best to go about it. Clearly the US market is now interested in this car now.

So throw it up in the Classifieds here and access AU NZ and US markets??

Feedback on pricing would be good.

1990 Jap import, with pretty much everything done. Forged engine with all supporting mods, 10l sump, oil cooler, AP brakes all around, Racepace Tein suspension, BBS LM wheels with new Direzza tyres, 4.375 diff ratios, HICAS lockout etc etc. Very clean car overall with a very original, clean, standard interior with an immaculate original wheel and yeah has a dash bubble. Everything works. Owned for 16 years.

$80k? $100k? $120k? More???

Genuinely asking as I don’t know. This is not a quasi for sale ad. When it’s for sale you’ll see it in the classifieds.

Thanks.

Hard to say isnt it.  Used to be people wanted an R with modifications but I think (But dont know) they are now more drifting towards wanting the whole purity/cleanliness thing. Certainly nothing starts below $80k that I can see.  How much of a premium over that is the question.

So, yeah, no help at all then.

I'd concur with that guy ^. You wouldn't ask less than 80. You should probably consider that mods don't really increase the value much when up at that sort of price level. It's completely different than when the base unmodified car might have been $30k, and the mods would let you ask over 50. I don't think they will let you ask over 100, just because.....the whole "standard is desirable" aesthetic that is now in play and so on.

It’s entirely dependent on the buyer. On BaT not too long ago an MNP R33 with a lot of mods sold for 105k USD but a stock red R33 with some questionable quarter panel repair didn’t break 50k USD. One of the cleanest stock silver R33 GTRs I’ve ever seen up for auction in Japan didn’t even break 100k USD a year or two back. But a reasonably decent but not exceptional condition stock LP2 R33 up for auction in California went for 235k USD. 

So I guess that raises an interesting point. An auction could attract an outlayer result. Mine’s a very neat and stock looking car with nice mods but isn’t a special so not sure it fits that bill. So Carsales or Collecting Cars auction?

Personally to me the car just looked ok, nothing remarkable but somehow people were throwing down insane money for that car. I’m not sure why people pick some cars to do this to but not others.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
