i'd say you are bang on.... it will still be hard to get...

i let mine go for less than that in the end as i just didn't want to spend the first few weeks/months of my sons life out trying to sell cars :rant:

sup playa.... what you driving this week man?

sup man

this week im driving a jzx90 with a side of traum kit, some lovely and epic suspension goodies and a hint of 1jz symphony emitting from a lovely fujitsubo exhaust.

lol

what are you in now?

a defect on wheels, you'll have to hold out until someone will pony up the money.

Should just part it out and sell it stock.

That's definetly on the cards, but was hoping that would be a "last resort" sorta thing as I'm forever busy with work and family so hoping an interstate buyer snaps it up as I would have to de-rego it and they'd have to get their own RWC anyway.

I was actually going to PM you, seeing as you're the only person I know of that has sold their modded '33 recently.

Judging by the number of genuine enquiries, I was thinking I was in the ball park in terms of figure but wasn't 100% sure so thought I'd ask you fellas.

How much did you end up selling your car for and did you supply a RWC for them too? Feel free to PM if you don't wanna discuss it in the forum :)

Clearly you love your Chasers!

LOL!

Yeah you might get lucky like that - but more often than not people strip and sell stock. Generally end up with more money that way.

I was almost at the point of doing that with my 33 to be honest, would've certainly got more in parts no question.

Hey,

Didn't wanna start a new thread for it but what do you guys reckon would be a good starting price would be for me to sell my car? I've had about a 7-8 enquires so far but no-one has been able to come up with the money (unable to get finanace, don't have enough money etc.).

I listed a starting price of $16,500 but was hoping for $15,000 or so once all is said and done. What do you guys reckon? Too high in the price range or should I be firm with the $15k price and just wait it out until someone does have the money?

I'd say anything over 12k take and run.

I maybe out of touch with the market though

R33 aren't worth shit these days. Too many of them around and too many of them making unreliable power with cheap shit parts, which is more appealing to the market of tight asses buying them...dragging down the quality cars with it.

Good bargains for people who've never owned one and aren't sick of them, or want a starter track car.

    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.
