Hi guy's, I'm in a pickle of a situation, lost ma job a month and a bit ago which meant the company car had to be given back. Not so bad because I've got a new job and its going well, problem is my wife needs her car. The skyline even if I finish it isn't the type of car you want to escort clients around in.

So I want to know how much I could get for the skyline and see if I can get something else, doubt I'll sell it because I've put way too many hours into it to part with it for just a normal car. Still I need to know what my options are.

Fair simple build up,

R32 Gts-t 1989 type-M

RB30det engine

Rb26 head

Aries pistons

H beam rods

T04z turbo

PFC djetro

800cc injectors

cam gears

R33 manual gearbox

exceedy 4 puk clutch

2 way kaaz diff

R33 GTR v-spec front disc's and caliper bracket

18x10 +20 rear's VSKF's

18x 9 +20 fronts VSKF's

Couple gauges, AVC-R boost ctrl

HSD coilovers

caster arms

shortened frnt upper control arms

FMIC, oil cooled, alloy rad, twin pod intake

Rear has had guards stretched professionally

25mm front gaurds

Cobra-daytona 2 reclining buckets (both seats)

hydrolic handbrake

driver side harness.

Paint is crap, half stock half matte from where body has been repaired. Fair straight no major dents. Has been drifted but this engine has only been on the dyno and due to an electrical problem hasn't had the tune finished. At the moment it cant be driven but I'm sure I could fix it I just don't have the time as its locked away elsewhere due to the lack of car parking at my place. Not registered but it can be.

Thanks guy's.

(If you don't know, don't make up crap)

the markets shagged at the moment, so unless u wanna sell it for way less than what u should i'd keep it.

I can't even get 18k for my 251kw @ 12psi RB30DET powered R32 and she's running, registered and in excellent condition.

$18k, Whats the running gear on the RB30? I remember seeing your car at Aldgate a long time ago and it looked brand new.

I'm probably looking around 300kw's+ from this setup once re-tuned but your car has way more class and with the market being so crap $15-16k would be about right I suppose. Not worth selling it in my eye's. I don't want to sell it in the first place, especially seeing I haven't even played with any of the new bits yet but I cant see a way out of it. Could try to swap it but I doubt anyone would have something that suits what I need and is value enough for me to give up my pride and joy.

I'm getting a headache, this really sucks.

to cut it short mate, keep it and finish it off over time. you'll never be happy with what you can get. id say between 15-18 once its running and rego'd.

you can pick up commo's or ex government cars at the auctions for stuff all. i recommend doing to that to have a nice 'cheaper' daily that would be good for moving clients around in if your wanting to keep the skyline.

What about selling just the engine?

I'd think the Trust manifold, waste gate, twin pod intake and T04z would fetch at least $3000 on it's own.

The head has been ported and everything machined at Lewis Engines...

if you throw in the gearbox set up and the complete engine and turbo setup id say around 8-9k and that's if you can find someone willing to buy it.

everyone's a bunch of tight asses these days!

I think you'll have a lot of trouble selling it not finished at a good price

have a look at Carl's 4 door http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=325747 his car is mint as and has been for sale for ages.

Edited by DSTROY

Fk me Carl's four door is neat as. Think I've seen it down near the truck lineup at the docks before. I really want to keep it but the more I talk it over with the wife the more I realize it needs to go. I'm going insane trying to figure out a way to keep ma car.

Yeah, nobody is buying anything. I've had my toys up for a while now.

Considering your isn't registered, engineered, finished, or even with a suitable finish, you won't get much. :(

Tell me about it. Had some the sphincter of the universe reckon he could get a stag like mine for under $10K ... good luck with that dreamer!

Salesman told me some months ago when this financial crisis hit that it's getting harder to get car loans from a bank but they were still able to organize finance for buyers through the yard. The yard which shall remain anon. looked to sell POS only however....

Sent PM about stagea's

stripping it for parts is the ONLY way to get any decent coin back.

i have recently stripped the muppet bus "r33sedan" and sold off all the goodies.

had a build 25, high mount etc, so far i have recouped $12.5k from parts and i still have nismo injectors etc left.

i can then bolt a standard engine in the car and sell that for 8-10k.

which in the current climate is easily achievable, but it does require you stripping your pride and joy.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
    • How does this compare to the internally gated g25-550 in terms of power production at same psi and spool
    • Did you find that your voltage of the battery wasn't where it's normally supposed to be? for example on my r34, it's at 14.5v when running after a few seconds, but I noticed when I had a rough start and it initially wasn't idling correctly, the voltage on my triple gauge cluster was showing lower than usual. Seems like the alternator is starting to crap itself
    • And, given that you're in NC, go buy an LS7 or something equally sweet and piss that crappy old RB off. Or call up Wesley Kagan and get his help putting a Merc V12 into it.
    • Do a compression test, and a bore scope on the cylinder that lost parts of the plug. Chances are, that cylinder isn't so happy anymore...
