hai guise, has anyone traded in an r33 skyline to a dealer to get a new car before? what did they give you for the r33?

im thinking of trading in the skyline to get something, and just wondering roughly what they give you for them

its got 170,000 on the clock.

I was offered $3k for my NA R33 on trade in. I then sold it for 7.5k (without RWC) within 24hrs of it going on carsales. I could have probably milked another grand out of it but I wanted a quick sale.

This, they'd put it up for sale for 8k a week later and some chump would snap it up (thinking they got a good deal because it's a skyline from a dealer) and the dealer would be laughing all the way to the bank

well considering they are in the business of selling cars for profit, what do you expect?

I know it might not be relevant today but i traded my 97 s2 NA r33 for my s15 back in 2005 for 12k - today? who knows but NA skylines are still in demand for p platers so u might get lucky.

like the others say, go private; check current skylines for sale in similar nick and put that price. If no bites, reduce price by 500bux a week until it sells

Thank-you, for pointing out the obvious. But I was referring PARTICULARLY to dealers getting N/A R32-34's traded. Because they're garanteed to make a quick profit, when some idiot P-Plater runs in and buys it, as opposed to a less desirable car that would have the tendancy to sit in the yard.

    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
