Come to QLD :P depends what car it is, but all the R33 I've known of recently have sold within a month.. at what I would say a good price (around 20k or +)

I kind of had thoughts of whether to sell the R33 in melbourne, or wait until I moved up and sell here. The decision to sell here paid off and I got a great price for the old car in a fairly short amount of time.

Personally I'd say VIC is a bad market to sell an import, as the "fad" has dried up a bit down there, from what I can see.. whereas QLD and NSW it's still going strong.

NSW is apparently easier to get a roadworthy (pink slip?) for when you transfer ownership than Vic, so it may be more desirable to sell a modified car up there?

Because down here you either have to sell it unroadworthy or do a dodgy.

When i get my carbon bonnet on and new bar painted im going to try and sell my thing.

The only reason im not OS behaving badly is beacuse the car, and the only reason i need to work is so that i can sustain the spend on the car:( So after 5 years its now time ot move on:(

Back to the original plan of trying ot get some contract work in the UK:cheers:

Because in 2 months time i wast to be on a beach in Biarritz. If i cant find an owner that wants the car in its current guise then i may garage it. And if things go to plan wont be back in OZ for about 18-24 months:)

I dont want to strip it for parts, i want to see someone else enjoy the car as i have, especialy after all the money i have spent on it.

The original plan was to take the car with me, and track it around tracks in England, France, Belgium etc etc, but the huge coinage the car cost me last year means that i have to really sell the car if i have any hope of going OS and getting a job. I can afford a holiday, but cant afford the costs of relocating to look for work.

I had all but given up going OS and was going to spend the last of my money on the Dutton....but i need another tour OS:thumbsup:

Ill be the European correspodant for SAU, lol, ill even take the Hertz 3 Series BMW race cars to the tracks i was hoping on taking my car to:)

nooo...

at least strip it for parts so they can go to new homes that will appreciate the tasty bits, not some kid who could run it into the nearest pole at any opportunity :D

You shouldn't have too much trouble selling the R32, there is a bit of a shortage of them I reckon (hence the higher than expected pricings lately), even with the 15 year cars, and not everybody still wants an R33..

Hi Roy,

Don't sell in melbourne. My reasoning is, my friend is selling his 1994 R33 Skyline which is quite modified (performance wise) with 18s, very nice car... would probably run a HIGH 12 if it had some decent fuel in it and some more boost, and he cant sell it... and hes asking for a pretty cheap price... $16,000, hes going to lower it to $15,000 soon and it has been for sale for over a month.

Another friend sold his R32 finally, very clean and stock example but it took about 3-4months to sell it and it was priced at like $12,000-$13,000.

Depends on where u advertise it... but yeah... this aint the place compared to some other states.

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
