Thanks for the comments guys it is a really nice car... bar some cosmetic probs... if i could get around 8-9 i would be happy but yeah F***in hail killed that idea i think... Sony Stickers are now removed:)

heres the car after lowering and a clean

the problem is that when ppl are looking at buying a new car..they don't tend to go for the one that loks like shit.. they want it looking great and they'll be excited to drive it..

Unfortunately i think the only interest you will get on your car is those that can't afford price or looking for a cheap car to build up.. Which limits your buyer diversity and lowers the limit.. fix it up or sell it for a steal.. 6-7k would be my starting point..

i recently sold my 32 gtst, it was is perfect condition, and i mean that. it was absolutely MINT. i thought $10k was the minimum i would get for it, but after 2 months of trying to sell it, and i needed to desperately as i was moving over seas, i sold it for $7.5k. i guess what i learnt is that when selling a car thats as niche as a skyline, it doesnt matter what you THINK its worth, its worth what someone will pay for it. and like gimps said, if it doesnt LOOK the goods you will loose interest of alot of people in such a tiny market. in my opinion i think between $6-8k is what your looking at.

one big prob ..if the person who may be interested cannot tidy the car up themselves it would turn them away..if they had to spend big dollars at the beaters to straighten the bod ,,it would be far cheaper to buy a clean straight car ..paint work and beating is that much of a ripoff now..so be prepared for some really stupid offers ..if you can get a mate or friend that nows what they are doing get it done first before you advertise ..first impressions are the sellers ..good luck...shame it had to happen to such a gr8 car

lonleyland is spot on. people want to buy a car, hop in drive away and have nothing to worry about. its like in the for sale section on sau, where countless wankers will advertise their car and talk up how nice it is, and how good condition its in blah blah blah, and then state that it will be sold with NO RWC!? and the reason being is that they 'cant be bothered' or 'dont have the time'. people want peace of mind.

haha f**k that turned into a rant real quick...

have u tried dint doctor bro

just to get all the dints out and then and then a serious hand polish to make it look schmicky

thats what i would try

i think one thing u have to remember is that there are thousands of r33's for sale around the country in far better condition than ur own so u have to try to have a point of difference (which u dont) or be as cleas as f**king possible (which right now u r not) to get rid of it.

or just cut ur losses and sell it for peanuts and start again.

those dent doctors normally charge per dent, so it could add up pretty quickly. i wouldn't be suprised if it ran into the thousands (since there is 40 dents, so even at $20 a dent is going to be $800, but i think they usually charge a hell of a lot more than that).

yeah i was wondering the same thing, but from what i have heard they can charge as much as $200 per dent (and as little as $50) so i think that either way it would probably work out to be an expensive exercise.

plus the fact that there is other issues as well

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
