Hi Guys,

Long time reader and almost first time poster,

I've been reading the site for quite a while now and been on a couple of the cruises but alas the time has come for me to sell my baby - As I plan to go to europe in 3 months.

What i'm after is just some help from you guys to determine what my car is worth. Since I bought it, i've never really looked around at pricing on other cars or even into selling it.

Its:

1997 Series 2 R33 M-Spec (Has the usual, full electrics, airbags, climat control, hicas etc)

Bog stock

128,000kms - Still drives like new. (127,300 at the moment and will have its next service before I sell it.)

5spd manual

Heavy duty clutch - replaced at 97,000

Car was imported by Autoworx at 89,000kms - I am the first owner since car registered in Aus

Standard R33 Rims - These are a bit scratched, Came like that when bought (Tires all still good)

Serviced every 10,000kms and Oil + filter changed every 5000

After market POD filter fitted

After market BOV bought but not fitted

Was dyno'd at 210RWHP

20% tint done by TKO tinting

Front bar needs a respray - stone chip below driving lights has flaked a bit + someone clipped the front bar with a shopping trolly (white mark) - Although I will be getting quotes to get this done before selling if possible

Interior is virtually immaculate - Drivers seat has small cut in it (Came like that - im guessing from getting in and out of the car) and there is 2 or 3 small holes under the passenger side dash from what i guess used to be a mobile phone cradle

Car always garaged

Prob more stuff I can write, but this isnt a for sale thread or anything, just more a way for me to get an idea what to advertise it for $$ wise. I've been "thinking" about selling it for a while but due to how much I love my car i've been putting it off, but now europe is only 3 months off i've gotto make sure I am ready to go..

Cheers

Adam

I was looking at a 96 S2 R33 with FMIC, Apexi AVC-R, ~ 140'000ks, 17" rims, suspesion, body kit, exhaust Turbo Timer and BOV.

Was an Auto and the owner was selling it for $14'500

So your one beeing a 5 speed and 97 model should go for around $16500

At the end of the day its worth what ever somebody is willing to pay you for it.

Start high that way you can drop the price if it doesnt sell, just keep in mind that these cars have dropped a heap.

You can import an R34 for alot less than you think these days!

Good luck with the sale mate!

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the replies so far.

Just wanted to add RE Kushil Abeysinghe

The car has a stereo in it at the moment, with an MP3 deck and sub, the stereo will be removed and replaced with the stereo it came with which isnt bad but doesn't do MP3's and i'll be leaving the wiring in for the amp's etc.

Its also had its timing belt changed at the 100k service

Cheers

Adam :laugh:

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
