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+.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
