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+.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
