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.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
