Hi guys,

I am debating selling me S1.5 R33. I've lost my licence for awhile and I'm going to Japan in November, so I'm pretty strapped for cash at the moment. Problem is, I don't want to let it go cheap just to get rid of it, but not following the car market I need some help with what I could realisticly get for it, the car has the following mods:

Engine:

Natetune Front Mount Intercooler kit

K & N podfilter

Splitfire Coil Packs

Boost controller

Blitz 'Style' blowoff valve

Dump pipe

Super High-Flow Cat

3" Inch exhaust

Cold Air Induction

HKS fcon piggyback computer

Button Clutch

Suspension/Handling:

Tanabe coilovers

Natetune caster rods

HICAS lock bar

Tein tie rods

Natetune tie rod spacers

Body:

Full car respray

Trust front bar (Cracked)

400R side skirts

Explosive rear bar

GTR rear wing

Really dark tints

17" Work Equip Rims, running 235/45s at front, and 255/40s at rear.

In Car:

Moulded Gauge Holder above centre console - housing Boost, Oil Pressure, Oil Temp

Kenwood head unit (CD / MP3 / Radio)

Nismo Gear Knob, standard supplied too.

Aftermarket steering wheel, standard supplied too

Drivers side bucket seat fitted, standard supplied too

Passenger side standard seat fitted, matching bucket seat supplied

Car is done up for Touge, not cruising so no sub / amp / chromies etc.

All modifications done by myself. Approx 125 xxx on the clock. Rego until late October.

Engine is in great condition, slight injector noise (need to be cleaned), runs 9 psi.

Thanks for the help guys, I will do some research on car sales later.

I don't have any pictures to upload at the moment, but paintwork is about 6 months old, only scratched on the front bar. And the interior has been fixed up within the last 2 months as well (to look almost brand new again).

id say 14 in current market

Well this depends on a few things though Paint colour and how well the work was carried out on this.

The interior and how this is represented. I think 14k would be a price which is the min but realistic I would see 16k+ especially with the amount of work carried out on this

true....

but Ive got similar mods and such, less kms - just dont have a kit or the rims and Id be lucky to get 12k - the market has really taken a massive blow :D I see it every day :)

s1 12k-14k

s2 12k-16k

Think about it, you have to compete with the wound back odo "fresh import" thing.... the fact they are second hand cars seems to be washed away somehow ? I dont understand this logic ? Most will know they are wound back, most will want to retain some resale value, and after seeing over $100 on the clock = less 6k-8k (when compared to wanker dealerships asking 18-20k), it makes for an interesting market. 33's getting into the i can get a loan for it bracket make it popular as its pretty much the best car for the money around aus (taste depending).

ps I own a series 2 33, I bought mine bit under 2years ago now for 17k. I got mine stock with active diff and every optional extra except the sunroof. still love her and only wish I didnt have to spend my money in so many places so I could get her to where I am happy with it.... so yea... I understand the reality as well as still love her eh?

skyline market is FU*Ked now, i have a 250rwkw ser1 with around 15k spent on it, has almost every mod apart from bottom end stuff, rare and hott blitz bodykit, 90,000k'ms even a sunroof and is as clean as they come, only brand names used, and im finding it hard to get even 16k :kiss::( x10000

Edited by scarface

they have restrictions on skylines , any raw can only ever import 100 per year

market dictates prices , people want skylines , people buy skylines , companies import skylines .

mods never ever add much value to your car and never had its not, unless they are extremely expensive like 20k engines or body work

this car in question is work 16-18k private depending on how quick you need the sale and what condition it is really in

and believe it or not you can still get genuine sub 100k r33s in japan , just lots of people will not pay the prices needed to get them

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
