OK guys I just want some opinions on what my car is worth i.e what I will realistically get for it IF i decide to sell it.

It will be a regretful sale but I have all my money tied up in it (I own it outright) and need some cash.

Anyway I have listed the details below (excuse any mistakes - I am a bit of a novice):

1993 S1 R33 GTST (Midnight Blue)

261rwhp @ 9psi (Hyperdrive Dyno)

Moderate mods and a safe tune

Not driven too hard as it is my daily driver

Regularly serviced and maintained by Hyperdrive

110,000km

Body kit (GTR look-a-like kit from Autoworx)

Tinted windows

17” Advan RG’s (silver)

Lowered King springs

Whiteline front sway bar

Turbo back exhaust

Pod filter

FMIC

Power FC (+hand controller)

Blitz EBC (dual solenoid)

Turbo Timer

Extreme heavy duty clutch

Pioneer Stereo system (worth about $1500)

Blue interior neons for that extra BLING factor.

Well that's all I can think of at the moment.

Your comments will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Tay

The onli thing that could possibly hold you back on your sale would be the car year. other buyers might be more inclined to lean towards a series 2. I would value your car at about 16-19k with 17k bein the lowest offer i would accept if i was sellin the car. If you were to sell it i would definatley pull the sound system out as you lose a huge value on it when reselling. Unless ur keen to ditch it.

17k for those mods you got to be joking?

seriously if you going to sell your import dont sell it on fourm cuz you will never get the best amount you can for your car, i say throw it in the autotrader if you where thinking of selling it for atlest 20k, i would be inclinde to say u could get 22k if you dont mind waiting

p.s dude ive seen ur car once at hyperdrive, and it looks sweet as very clean, :stupid: top skyline ;)

you are dreaming :D

I sold my last car a 97 series 2 with full exhaust manual and 70k/km on the clock for 20k.

Depends on condition.

For example , we have a client who just purchased a 33GTR from the East for 26K.

After inspecting the car I would have rather bought a 32 GTR for the same money.

It is a dog..

To get back on track , Tay's car is a very nice example that looks mint with the RG wheels on it.

Has been regularly serviced by us and no expense has been spared to maintain it.

261rwhp is very good for a near stock one and shows the condition of the engine.

Cheers

Check autotrader and the like - see what people are paying. Better still, pm chowetime, she has just bought a skyline after looking at many cars, most of which she was dissapointed with - perhaps she can give you a feel for what is on the market and how much it goes for.

Remember, its pretty hard to say what a car is worth, until you have seen it yourself - there is alot of difference between a well modded, well maintained car in excellent condition (when I bought my 94, everyone who saw it and didnt know a thing about skyines thought it was a new car - it was that neat) and a car that hasnt been looked after. As Ken said, there are dogs out there :D

tdawg, my 94 with mild mods, in near immaculate condition and 80k/km sold for more than your 97 series 2 - either

you underpriced your car,

some people put more value on mods than you do, or

your car was in average condition even with the low kms

Thanks for the feed back guys.

I consider my car pretty clean all round - the bodywork is good, interior is fine. Anyway I will do some more research (autotrader etc) and then make a decision on the sale.

I was hoping for about 19K, but it would seem I am probably 1-2k of the mark. And at that price I'd probably keep hold of it, we'll see.

Tay, if worse comes to worse, remove some of the nicer fruit, sell the car and the bits seperate. Things like a power fc, fmic, ebc, will sell pretty quickly.

Oh, and fit a BOV if you want to sell it, or have one ready to throw on to seal a deal - alot of guys seem to think this is THE performance mod to have.

The car looked an felt brand new, I just didnt feel like waiting 3 months to sell it. I priced it less then a car yard would and sold it quickly.

      Crank/No Start - R32 GTR Chassis with R34 RB26

      By 89GTR_VA · Posted

      Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
