hey guys and girls,

yesterday i was waiting in the car park while my my girlfriend was doing the shopping and i was approached by a gentleman probably in his mid 40's named john patterson. (if your on here mate - "g'day to you young fella!" haha).

anyway, john advised he couldnt help but notice my car and advised "it is the cleanest, all original, unmolestered GTR i have ever seen". john then continued to speak and offered me $33,000 for my car that afternoon. an offer which i refused. his offer than turned to $34,000 and then to $35,500. these offers which were also refused. :) john left on good terms in his black 7 series beamer leaving me his number if i was to change my mind.

my car is not for sale, it took me too long to find her. and i only know of one other duplicate which is sitting in the nissan gallery. but it got me thinking - if your cars not for sale, what sort of money would it take for YOU to give in and sell?

cheers! :)

A car is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for. If he's willing to pay $35,500, then that's how much it's worth to him. If he offers more, then it's good for you and not good for him. I dont know how much your car is really worth if he didnt make you that offer, but if it's 100% original with low kms, no accidents, and is as good as you say, then it's worth more than your average R33 which are in the $20k's.

Some guy came up to me 2 months ago and said he was looking for a GT-R in exactly the same colour as mine. With only 185 being made in MP III, I told him yes it's not easy to find in that colour and you would have to import one yourself as mine was not for sale. But if someone offered me, say 20k above the price I paid for it, I would seriously consider selling to get a later model R34.

I dont really think the difference is all that great. If you're a series 1 or 2 with the series 3 lights, you'll still be looking at the series 3 price (maybe 1k cheaper which is insignificant). Condition and mileage are again the deciding factor in terms of pricing IMO). around 24-30k will get you something decent doesnt matter series 1/2/3.

I got a random PM asking me if my car was for sale,

I said no, To that he replied "Everythings for sale at the right price" Which is fair enough, But i honestly have no interest in selling her at this point in time.. Even if i was offered good money.. :)

I'd have to say if it was the right price i'd let mine go thats actually how i sold my 33 someone offered me 15K for it and i thought time to upgrade and got myself a 34 but in saying that i really love my 34 so would be a lot harder to let go i'd reckon.

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      George's R33 GTST build

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
