Value of my R33 GTSt 4 door?

I have found a car I am interested and will probably need to buy it before I have a chance to sell the skyline so I need to know what I am likely to get for it I’m not game to base my decision on what others are advertised for. So far I have seen some go for $22,000 and have been told by a dealer $15,000 max.

It is a 1995 White R33 GTS25t manual was auction grade 4 when I got it 3 years ago.

It has 95,000 km on it now and had 70,000 when I got it. I have done minor service every 5,000 my self with using Motual oil and workshop service every 10,000.

A few people who didn’t know what it was have mistaken it for a new car.

It has barely even been driven in the rain since I have had it.

Mechanically it is dead stock but has a full Whiteline suspension kit and strut brace.

It also has a custom towbar rated to 850 kg that has only ever been used to tow a motorbike trailer and one bike 350 kg total and I just spent $600 getting windows tinted with 3M carbon film.

So what do you think I might get for it?

Looks like a nice car, but I don't think you'll get $22000, because it's a 4 door and most people go for the coupe, plus it's series 1 and series 2 go for more

Probably $18000.

The dealer's given you a low valuation because he wants to make his margin. So if a dealer is going to give you $15000 you know it's worth at least $3000 more than what he'll pay because he'll go and sell it for $23000.

I've seen 4 door R33 at stagering low prices compared to the coupe.

I've seen these mint cond for 12-14K, dont ask me what the go is though, they all seemed legit and advertised locally to.

They dont interest me enough to investigate, thats just what i have seen these advertised for in the Sydney NSW area.

i bought my 1995 white manual sedan gts25t wtih 76000 on the clock, and same with you everyone said it looked like a new car ;-) but yea i got it for $13000 which i thought was a bargain. its stock as a rock 100%. was thinking of selling it for more but i love it so much. would be hard to find another ;-) oh and mynes was auction grade 4 aswell

SII R33 Manual Sedan

bought it for $20,000 2 years ago, was advertised at $23,000. So i reckon mine would be worth about $18,000 now but its got 135,000kms on it ;(. only 34,000 are mine. So if you can get $18k for yours i would take it.

Another factor people may not be considering is the low price of R34 4-door sedans. In some ways i prefer the look of the r33 sedan but I'd probably still choose an r34 just because its newer and I prefer the front bar, taillights, extra power, and tiptronic auto of the r34.

You can get r34 4-door sedans for around the low $20k mark for a good one. A newer model thats around the same price will generally push the older model down in price a bit.

Just something to consider - from a buyer's perspective i suppose. (although I am not looking to buy one - i chose a s2 stagea instead - better interior/boot space, and very unique).

as a dealership, they are pretty cheap, its where i bought my car. Might give you an idea

Also have a look at

http://www.autowholesale.com.au for R34 and V35

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
