Im really confused how skyline prices seem to be all over the place.

Ive seen an R34 GTR in stock trim with 64k sell for $48k and R32's with the works advertised for $65 k. I know all about condition of vehicle and extras etc but like WOW.. What a difference.

Id love to see the prices of skylines remain stable or even increase so write down what you paid or sold your skyline for in 2003. So some suckers arent selling theres too cheap or worse advertising them at such a high price that people think Skylines are unsaleable. (thats what scared me off a skyline for a few years, I thought "if I buy one, Id never be able to resell it" as some guys advertised theres for 4-6 months every fortnight in the Trading Post)

Ill start,

93 R33 GTS25T - stock except for 18" rims, additional BOV and 3 and half inch exhaust - $20000 - Canberra

-only probs so far have been battery (understandable - car hadn't been driven much for last 3 - 4 months, and air-con compressor doesn't work so have to find replacement....

:headspin: :headspin:

I have been doing a little research lately to land a 96/97 R33 GTR V-spec, Gr 4-5, interior grade A or B, complied, all taxes/duties, rego, tyres blah blah, seems to be around $45-50k give or take a few.

EDIT: price Damn RAWS!

there is lots of good deals out there , like i see people buying r33 gtst's for lets say 26 grand, and you see another one getting it for lets say 12-15 and there laughing hhehe. but there would be a "reason" claimed by the other person saying theres is better bla bla bla . but really its the same thing.

im planning to get a cheap 32 gtst for a thrasher . anyone know where to get one . about 10 - 13 grand is what ill spend. RB20DET i prefer.

94 R33 GTST, pod and 17" Advanti racing wheels, Sep 03

$17500, 65000km (I think) 2nd aussie owner. When I was looking average R33 price seemed to be about $21-22000. There were a couple around 15500 and 13800, but I didn't even go look at them - just thought they must have been crap. Who knows if they actually were.

MINES_DATSUN i do not agree with what you are saying, yes there are many good deals out there. A value of a car may be the SAME to you, but may be different to another person. Yes there are many skylines out there for 12-15k and then there are those people that have bought it for that price may believe that they have got a bargain, and some others like me who may have paid 25k for my car. When i bought my S2 96 skylines, i had many different types of skylines to choice from. Buyin from dealer, private and importing one myself. But the only reason i bought mine for $25k from a dealer was solely because i wanted to be the first australia driver and because of the kms it had on the clock. Ok you may think the clock could be rigged and yes i agree with that too, because there is that possibility, but the condition of my car and because it had a warranty with it was wat made up my mind. At the time when i bought it i found an exact model, colour skyline as mine but had 50k more kms on the clock and it was a private sale, it was selling for 20,500. I considered that with my parents but we opted to go for the 25k because of the reasons above + many more. So although many of you may think i paid too much for my S2 skyline, i bought it for that price for my own personal reasons, but when you buy a car, the price is not the only think that is considered, there are many other factors included.

So dont go saying its the same thing coz its not. Yes it may be the same model of car, but a car is like a person and that it is all different. Each has its own pros and cons. What is a bargain t you may not be for me and wats a bargain to me will not be to someone else. Oh of coz this only applies to 2nd hand cars not brand new cars where we all pay the same amount of money.

Sorry for the long post but i felt i needed to get my point across.

Cheers

    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
    • I was surprised to see all the quick Jack models at the same prices on there. But yeah, grabbing one at 20% off would be great.
