Hey guys,

What is a reasonable price to sell a R33 series 2 1996 model at? Non-turbo, Automatic.

Its currently turbo converted with a few mods, but I'm thinking of converting it back to NA if I can get a better price.

Had a quick browse on carsales and realised there is a shitload of R33s, all between 8-12k that are factory turbo and manual.

Lol yeah I also made a thread about whether to convert it from NA to turbo, which I did and it was a good decision considering the car runs well and is very fun to drive.

After a good browse on car sales, there aren't many NA's for sale, and even less series 2's or in black.

I am thinking a price of 10-11k in NA condition with some mods remaining would be a good price. What are people's thoughts?

Oh and i'l also have a complete turbo conversion for sale if i do go ahead.

Hmmm.

I think you'll stuggle for more than 8k to be honest. Given that every P-plater wants a manual, you're at a big disadvantage trying to get that much for an auto. Can get clean R34 autos for that much and manual R34's are going to as little as 13-14k these days and I know you said it's modded, but kids are stupid these days. They'll sooner spend a heap of money modding their stock car rather than save money from the beginning and buying a modified one.

Lol yeah I made that mistake once, not again. Seing as there are so many turbo R33's on the market, I think going back to the NA route I'l get more money with the car and parts that I sell.

Thanks truffles.

All I can say is good luck.

I've had two people interested in my car and one tyre kicker... I paid for the premium ad on carsales too.

I've got mine up for 11.5k which isn't too bad. Last guy had it up for 14 which was over priced.

I got a non-turbo R33 (automatic) as well, and it's a series 2, I had my full license when I was purchasing it just because it's cheap and in good condition. But now I am really disapointed with the power, and considering on selling or swapping it, I would be really happy if someone likes to swap with a manual GTS-T, I'm even willing to pay more dollars to him if his vehicle is about the same condition as mine.....:(

Btw, my car has ran about 120,000km, 96 model in silver, how much do u guys think I can sell it reasonably...?

Sell it for 10-12k to some p plater and buy a gtst for 7-8? Pocket the difference or start on mods?

I don't have money to modify it... and I know it's much harder to sell a modified vehicle with a higher price

Still I can't believe anyone can sell a non-turbo R33 for 10-12k, coz even some non-turbo R34s are around the same price...

Sorry that was slightly exaggerated, the autos are a bit less but with decent kms and being a series 2 you should make some cash buying a series 1-2 gtst. I was saying spend the made money on mods, modding before selling is a waste.

Thanx! I'll consider about it. btw, how much would the insurance be for Justcar if I bought a gts-t (almost a stock one)? and I'm 22 right now with full license.

I was 22 when I bought my gtt, it was $1900 for the first year, the second was $1600.

That's horrible price..... just comparing to the vehicle itself......

I only spent 400+ on my non turbo, now I think to pocket its slowness is a good advice from u :closedeyes:

That was for full comprehensive of course. You only spent 400 on an NA?! I spent more than that on a 90s camry when I was 20!

I see, urs was full comprehensive, that's why. I only bought the third party + steal and fire

So what about third party for a gts-t, how much u think it would cost?

Interesting, just did it for me on a 96 gts and gtst and 3rd party were both 292, and the comprehensive for gtst was $400 more at $1670 than the gts.

I guess it's just a basic number they use, the big costs only come up when you hit a ferrari anyways.

I personally wouldn't go 3rd party on a car worth more than 3 or 4k, it's just too much of a gamble. And if someone hits you it's far easier having your insurance company pay you quickly than chasing some douche through the courts trying to get payment (it's easy for the insurance companies who have lawyers on hand).

      And also there were for sale scams and the like. For sale posts need piccies, and not having piccies makes it harder to do a driveby scam.

      And I forgot to add my *** footnote to the above post, which was that the pipework mods would be even more significant than what had to be done for the highflow. So just add that onto the list. Pipework mods are no killer, just made the tasklist longer at a time when extra tasks were not welcome.

      Ah ok, reason I asked was for the sake of not having to upgrade everything if the turbo couldn't be capped.

      pffft! My alignments are starting to take 3-4 weeks each. Bugger overnight - that would be a dream! Overnight is when I leave it on stands with the rear suspension in pieces, hoping I can remember where I was at when I come back to it. I have to set the car up on a level surface so I can get decent camber measurements, then try to set the RUCAs to the right length to get that right. Then I have to put the car somewhere else where I have enough room to set up the bumpsteer gauge (laser, paper, mirror), so I can dial out that. Then I need to go measure camber again because changing the tension arm length affects that also. Then I need to measure toe, and I can't do that to my own satisfaction at home, so I have to put it on an actual aligner. Then I have to go back and fix the camber again, and if that took more than a half a turn, decide if I want to set up the bumpsteer measurements again. I previously had the bumpsteer almost completely banished and then I started changing things again! And that's only the rear end. Not even gotten to talking about the front yet. And this has been going on in the context of me discovering a seized bolt in the LHR FUCA bush at the upright, hence needing total disassembly to replace that bush and the others that were not far away from the same outcome, replacing sphericals in the front end and making a mistake that resulted in needing to do it again, which is only half done right now. It's a selfmade nightmare. Only have self to blame, etc etc. But regardless, I am so complelely unable to utilise the services of a normal wheel aligner that I have no choice. I haven't found a shop in my city that does "race" alignments - and by that I don't mean I want my car to be set up for racing, but the set of adjustments that I have available and that need to be used to do the alignment are the same as you'd find on a race car. I haven't looked everywhere, but there doesn't appear to be the equivalent of the motorsport focused shops that are present in Sydney and Melbourne. And such an alignment would cost $300, and you only want to do it once in a while, and you don't want to find out that you have to replace bushes and bearings and such while you are spending that $300 so you have to come back and spend it again a week later. So I stay living in my self made nightmare for the moment.
