I know mines no where near f*ked, just a small market in WA :D

Just sold mine for $7.5k, was a bargain but I wanted it gone. (Sold within 24hrs of going on carsales).

Another thing to note is that with our current (and worsening) economic conditions, and rising fuel prices the value of all cars is going to plummet over the next year. I'd rather sell it cheap now than have it sit around till it naturally dropped to that price in hopes of gaining an extra $1000.

It's psychological more than anything. A 2.5litre engine may not chew through much petrol, but people will always view sports cars (as unsporty as a NA Skyline might be) as fuel guzzlers.

We're lucky though, Skylines (NA in particular) are some what resistant to economic conditions in the sense that most buyers are young with no debt, no mortgage, or dependents (kids, wife, etc) and lets face it, often irrational with their spending.

lol you guys are funny!

i always say it, and i will say it again

"something is only worth what someone else is prepaired to pay for it"

so when someone offers you less its because they arent prepaired to pay your asking price!

get over it, especially in this economic climate.. you might wanna get used to it!

i personally dont think an n/a will ever be worth more then a turbo one... i don't care what p plate restrictions say!

hello captain obvious... don't you think everyone knows that?

you don't think an N/A will ever be worth more than a turbo, but as an 'economy expert' you should know that the turbo models are equally being sold for the same price and quite often a lot less. however i am quite intrigued as to why you feel that an N/A will never be worth more than a turbo, is it due to its worth in equipment? i.e. turbo, brakes, etc. or due to it's demand? your argument isn't consistent and to me it is you that is funny.

simple facts are that the p-platers' are simply low-balling in hopes of getting a bargain, the problem is that it's not just one guy doing it they are all doing it. this is primarily sparked by people desperate to sell (regardless of condition) and taking the first offer of cash coming their way. it's not so much that they aren't prepared to pay the asking price because of worth, but because they know someone else who got it for that price.

i.e. Mr. A has a massive credit card debt from modding his skyline, plus the fact that the poor economy isn't helping with his fuel bills. So in desperate attempts he tries to sell his car for 12K, nothing, 10K, nothing, 8K nothing. Mr. P-Plate offers a genuine 5K and Mr. A takes it. Mr. P-Plate tells his mates, then his mates go around looking for other people like Mr. A who are desperate to offload and before you know it everyone who's looking to buy is offering no more than 5K because his cousin's brother's retarded boyfriend got a skyline for 5K. however we are not all that desperate to offload.

so it's not that the sellers are expecting too much, but more so the fact that the buyers are expecting far below due to another experience.

last note: if you're going to come in here and preach expertise, at least learn to spell a bit and i'll take you a little more seriously.

      Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
