What Would Be A Fair Asking Price For My Ride?


Recommended Posts

I know the market is flooded with 33 gts-t's at the moment...some as low as $7000 ive seen. So what would be a decent price tag to put on mine? Considering stripping parts off it and selling them seperatly if it'd make the car easier to sell? if I did that....what sort of price then? how far do I bother stripping it back? Till I can sell it for 10k on ebay??....lol

please dont bombard me with posts & messages asking how much for this an that off my car....you wont get a reply, if i decide to got that way i'll put the parts up for sale in due time. thanks.

just after opinions on best way to go about selling my ride an what people think it'd be worth (sell for)

Cheers everyone

You have a very nice 33 there. A point to keep in mind however is that whatever you ask for - you will not get. People will try and hobnob with you for a better price.

I think you should sell as is for now, and if you are not happy with the responses/interest - sell the parts and see how you go.

Good Luck anyhow.

Without wanting to offend, I'd have to say you've got pretty much no chance of selling it for anywhere near $26k.

As much as we all know mods aren't cheap, you never get back what you've spent on modifying a car....It's always a loss, not an investment.

Being a 94 Series 1 that makes it almost 14 years old.

You might come out better off if you were to sell parts off it and sell the car itself a lot cheaper, but that would be a lot of work, and you might not even make that much extra anyway when selling a near stock series 1 33 GTS-T which people seem to be paying $12-$15k for....

It might hurt, but thats just my opinion

hey berin

I have had some ppl make offers for my car in the past few weeks of up to 22k. Which I thought was ok.

Then I started looking at what car I would get...I wanted an R also. Then decided to keep it as I couldn't be farked at this stage. I'II just upgrade the RB25 or go an RB26 and be done with it.

yeah I know what you mean Dezz.....this is why im not wanting to burn anymore money on it. Being a mechanic, stripping the parts off is easy for me, so thats no problem. Cars had well over $32K spent on it including the cost of the car.....

maybe i'll strip it down a bit....stock bonnet, mirrors, diff, wing, seats, computer & injectors.....bringing it back to being a neat 33 with about 200kw for around 17-18K mark?

Chris: if i could get 22 for it minus a few things id be happy

thats the easiest option for selling but its a real pain in the arse.

I think Dezz is right. However I got a few takes at 20+k as I said above. Depends on the person. Just put it up and leave it for a while and see what happens, but I have seen a few with forged internals etc for about 26k on these forums...there is a nice blue one for aout 26/27 running like 360rwkw @24psi so something like that.

yeah i think you'd be asking way too much dude.

with an import/modifying etc you're never gonna get what you've spent on the car its just not gonna happen.

honestly with your car i'd be very happy with anything near 18-20grand.

not trying to offend ofcourse its just how it is nowadays, r33s can't seem to hold their value for shit (i think anyway...)

but hey best of luck i hope you get whatever you decide to sell it for. for serious

just to clear things up.....I never said "I'll be asking $26k"....i said IDEALLY id like $26k just because of what i've spent on it.

idea of this thread was to get poeple's opinions on what sort of price it'll actually sell for. Whether it'd be better to strip it back to a "closer to stock" form an sell it for round $15K?

thanks for the opinions though....generally what i was after

Dont forget, if you are going to be buying a GTR to factor in the cost of a good sex change opertation. Your typical "Shiela GTR driver" snip sets you back abvout 12k. Or you can just keep your balls and keep your sweet GTS25t :O

:P nice one...thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to factor that in....lol

Considering I've had no interest on my GTR at 27K, I would be suprised to see your's go at 26K, I agree with R31Nismoid, return it to stock, sell the mods. That's what I have decided to do. Either way, good luck with the sale.

20K max if you find the right buyer, I didnt get much more than that for mine after all the $$ that was spent on it.

I cbfed stripping it back to stockish and selling the parts, so lost alot of $$.

Best option is to strip as much as you can and sell seperate as most people aint aware of the cost of the extras.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
