My R33 gtst series 2 sold today. Only 6 days after put it on carsales. The demand for good conditioned r33's is still there. First person who looked at the car literally freaked out of how good it's condition was and rushed to the bank to get the money out.

I hope the new owner treats her well. I miss the old girl already :(

If I do get another Nissan it'll be a 370z, G37 or a 2009 or newer R35 but I haven't looked yet, I didn't expect the car to sell so quick, from what the buyer told me there are so many shit conditioned ones on the market at the moment, I should have asked more for mine then lol.

Yeah I'll post pics when I get to a pc. But it is on carsales at $12999 with 102 000km Milage from castle hill nsw if you are curious.

so your still getting lots of interest to fend off now you have sold it?

did you sell it close to the advertised price?

curious as have one myself in what i consider ok nick. If i could afford to upgrade yet i would..

Awesome looking car mate. If you sold it for near the asking price you'd be cheering! Did you have it detailed or anything beforehand? Was it your daily?

Given the cars in your garage (well from reading the supercar thread) I guess you're not short on adrenaline!!

:rofl: lol I must have forgotten to post the link in my post lol. Yes that is the correct link.

Nope not short on adrenaline, also means I have the means to maintain all of my cars in exceptional condition. Obviously the guy who bought my car could see it was in great condition.

I got super close to asking price, I have been out of the skyline scene for a while so I was unaware of how many shotty crappy ones are out there running around at the moment. If I knew that the standard of these cars has generally dropped this far I would have asked more for mine to begin with. Nope didn't have it detailed at all, just gave it a wash with megures car was soap (the yellow one), vaccumed the inside, wiped down the plastic/dash with a wet chamois and tyre shine. The bare minimum for preparation.

It used to be my daily but for the last 12 months it had only been getting less than 100km/week, it became the shopping car and general carpark car

With some due credit to you Tom, your wording of the advert was very good, explaining all the info that a prospective buyer would want and to push him to at least have a look.

Could have done it much better, took me 15 minutes from go to woah. Basically Just went through everything I want to know myself when looking for a used Skyline. Wasn't proof read or anything, I would have revised it if I didn't have any nibbles.

sold the fezza too ?

Yeah they are too slow and too common these days with all the imports Comming in because of our strong $$$ ATM.

Finally I see you are back in Aus Albert. Now your Facebook check ins won't come from places I don't know lol.

Ooh what's the new car?

I was going to get a 370z, 370gt skyline, or a 2010 R35. But in the last week I am needed for business in Europe so I take off next week, no return date set yet. So my proposed next daily driver is on hold at least until I come back to Aus.

Depending how long I stay over there will determine if I just buy a daily driver there instead or just keep flogging euro rental cars. Never driven on the left side of the road before except for on the Greek islands on a quad bike a few years ago... Fingers crossed aye...

    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great. 
    • Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.
    • Yes, important point. Watch the Motive videos with Herman thickness testing the bores and deck. You do not want to push the unlucky (thin) block as hard as you can push the average block.
