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 ;)

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.

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.

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+.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
