Yo,

Just wondering if anyone has sold or bought a car (not necessarily a Skyline) recently in Vic. I would like to know where you advertised/looked, and from sellers, what sort of response you got, and how long it took to sell.

Unfortunately my car will be on the market as of next week (going OS) so I'm looking for the quickest way to sell it.

:rofl:

Well my Lexus is up for sale up the moment (free plug!). It is advertised on Carsales.com.au and Carpoint.com.au. Also went in the Age for 2 weeks and is in Unique cars.

The amount of ridiculous emails I have had from people from those ads is not funny. Emails with no introduction or sign off and read:

"does it have alloy wheels"

"does the sun roof slide"

"would you take 20K when it was up for 30K"

I now have a couple of people seriously interested in it but even on here I got offers for a straight trade from people when I clearly put that I wanted to down grade to release some equity for a house deposit.

Be prepared is all I can say!

All up advertising was about $350 from memory as whilst the websites are free or under $10, the mag and Age cost a bit.

Having said all that, I have had several genuine enquiries from here including Swordfish so it is not all bad.

Oh and can you let me know details of your car as I am looking for a Skyline.

www.carsales.com.au, but if you want to sale it fast, your car has to be cheap enough.

For example, I sold my skyline in 2 days after I advertised it in carsales, but it's around $2000 under market value, and now I want to sell my lancer, nobody asked in 2 months because I only want to sell it at reasonalbe price.

Cheers saff. I'll post up the details of the car on the weekend after I take a few photos. Condition can only be described as immaculate :)

sars, did you get the price you posted or did you get offers (for the line)? The lancer might be taking longer coz there are millions out there?

Sold my Car on here last week. Was only advertised for a week

I also advertised it on Carsales.com and in the trading post.

Exspect some idiots calling, i had ppl offering half what i had it advertised, and i had heaps of idiots asking if i had run boost in the past when i slearly stated it was a GTS non turbo.

And i just brought my new car from a private seller on carsales.com

riggap - sounds good mate.

sars - I tried that after initially pricing it high, I then dropped it right to the bottom of the bracket so the only couple in the state that are cheaper are galaxy kilometres and even they are only 1K or so below. It started at $34K a couple of months ago and and is now up for 28K and I still get annoying emails.

I think it also depends on the actual price of the car in $.

hey Rigga,

when i was looking for a Skyline I was looking at carsales.com.au, and occasionally in Unique Cars magazine. Ended up buying from a guy that advertised on carsales.

I had my series 4 rx-7 about two months ago on carsales and carpoint. No interest what so ever. Put it in the trading post, that night when it came out i sold it and got a few people interested in it afterwards. Its fairly expensive, but it worked for me.

Yeah I asking for 16k(already 2k less than what I after because I need cash very urgently), but somebody still offer me lower price such as 14k.....but anyway, I sold it at 16k to the first person to see the car. A little bit regret, I should advertised it for 17k :jump:

Watch out for the scammers when you advertise your car on carpoint or carsales wanting to pay you double what you advertised it for and then want to ship it to america or europe.

I have my dads old 1989 magna for sale on carpoint and some guy in America want to pay $15,000 for it and then wants to transport it to America!! :)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
