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).

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
