Considering putting up an EOI for my R33. Don't really have time to enjoy it any more :( but I know the market is pathetic and I can't handle taking a huge loss. Gay.

Sell or Strip it and sell in parts

BUT NOT AT OUR PLACE

Have a real good think about it, the market could get worse too.

My advise; sell boat buy R34 :D

lol buying another inferior money pit car would be stupid :P

I'd sell it and be done with it right now no worries, if I could get a decent amount for it....which I'm not so sure I can.

I'd take circa $14k for it right now, which isn't terrible considering what you get for the money. Had a heap of money poured into it, and is FULLY ENGINEERED FOR ALL MODS (except for exhaust volume and atmo BOV)

That's the problem, too many mods.

I drive my 34 almost everyday, just service and maintain it and its not that expensive.

I never do seem to find a chance to wash it though........... :/

What's the problem with mods? I can understand when you speak from a roadworthy perspective, however as said in this case they're all legal thanks to the engineer's certificate I paid so much money for lol

Reconsidering already, leaning back towards selling the van 3rd quarter next year some time and replacing it with a dirt bike lol. Skyline will go back to being a "daily".

Sell the van, get a bike you can use on the road and offroad and win. Keep your purple pimp wagon.

It's just I don't like driving the skyline as a daily, mostly due to running costs compared to the van. Plus the van is actually USEFUL - ie camping and moving shit hahaha. However it ultimately does cost me more due to paying finance on it.

I'd be looking at an 09 or newer KTM-300EXC or something similar

High maintainance

How do newer and arguably more reliable parts = high maintenance? Nothing to do with servicing costs or intervals has changed since the car was stock standard, and I've ironed out all the bugs associated with upgrading engine parts within the first few months.

just my opinion/experience, when you add performance parts to a car new or otherwise, it has an effect on most aspects of the car, sometimes obvious and sometimes not.

there is always something.

something i've grown to expect but always try to prevent with all modified cars.

thats why i said get a bike you can use on the road as well! Hit two birds with one stone.

oh of course, I'd be a deadset clown NOT to. That's almost the entirety of the reason I want a dirt bike - to ride on the road as an occasional mode of transport and for funsies. Dirt bike over road bike for practicality reasons like taking mad short cuts, though also being able to ride it out to the local forest/national park and boon around.

IMHO - Give it an extreme detailing and sell it.

The longer we wait and the more we do to them the more we loose.

Everyone knows to own one is for the lust not the resale

I'd end up spending too much on it just to make it appealing enough to sell lol

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
