Hello all,

I'm currently trying to sell a mint condition R32 GTST and I was wondering what methods some of you have used to find that ellusive buyer!!

So far its on this forum,

the nissan silvia forum

and the trading post last week.

IS there anyone that has sold a car in some unusual but successful marketing stratergy??

Carsales..?

my car is on carsales and car guide...both great value

carsales is $10, and the ad stays on until the car is sold, or when you say that its sold etc..

carsguide was free, takes more pics (6 v 5) and all you have to do is update it within a certain period, and it stays listed

The price you post will determine how quickly it sells. Most buyers are tight and if your car is genuinely mint they're gonna want it for a bomb price.

Also be prepared for morons who know nothing. I had a guy try and tell me Nissan sold R33s here in Australia.

/\/\ Agreeed, alot of tightwads and knobs, if your car is cheap it will help sell.

Ive also had someting similiar happen, a guy wanted to buy my 180sx and was dead keen but then he found out it had an SR he said he didnt want it cos it didnt have the factory 6cyl in it ;)

did you end up selling yours Paul?

forums can sometimes work but ive found that most people off forums who come to have a look at the car, dont have any money and also just want to come and have a closer look and drive the car so they can then comment on them on the forums. That and they dont know actual facts about the cars and go on here say on what they have read on the forums. As i had the other day. from an ns.com member.

i have found carsales and carpoint to be the most effective for genuinly interested buyers, with the money to spend.

As of yesterday, my car is sold....

mark 1 point down for car sales

Mark down an extra 1 point for carsales. As of tonight my Exa is sold.

P.S sold my last car on carsales within 1 week too.. Wasn't price too cheap either.

I just had some dude try to offer me a rediculous price for my skyline. I actually got quite offended and laughed at him and he ends up calling me a "dik".

I just can't stand people like that. I was going to do him a favour by selling him a good car but instead he turns round and calls me names when he does not get what he wants. Its actually not easy to sell a car especially a R33.

carsales clear in the lead on 2 points now lol

how long till ur 32 is here and ready to go

10 days :D

r32 with Rb25, td06, etc. etc. etc. etc. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

P plater friendly? probably not...

Chan - These things happen. I was thinking of all the time wasters I had come look at my car and I couldn't believe it. I feel sorry for all you guys selling boosted cars that are 15k+.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
