I thought I would make a thread about how much people really pay for there skylines and performance cars as opposed to "My car is worth X amount".

There seem to be a huge number of people with hands firmly planted on there dicks about how much there car is worth.

I recently got back into a skyline after selling my VE V8 (at a realistic price) and it was a pain in the ass sifting through all the crap that is overpriced. A good example is a guy with an R33 S1 with bolt ons who wants 18K.

I'll start with mine.

1996 R33 GTS-T 4 Door.

Manual

172000kms

Full Xforce Exhaust, K and N filter

Nice but not perfect condition. Airbags.

$4900 with Rego

Had just under 30,000km when I bought it 2.5 years ago, 49,000km on it now

Dealer wanted $38,000 paid $33,500 with 5 year warranty. Is now in the For Sale section for $28,000 ono. Will let you know what it actually goes for sometime in the future.

"Nobody wants 4 door 33s".

That is why you got your car for the price you did. but yes the retarded prices for the Coupes and Sedans(Considering what i just wrote about them) as well(11K for a turbo 4 door 33 with rims and a few normal mods lol).

A mate of mine swapped a iron block V8 ford that was worth about 3.5K for a series 1 R33 GTST with bolt ons.

The skyline however needed a new clutch, coilpacks and its paint is rough as.

'95 R33 GTR vspec

Midnight purple

Freshly imported

86,000 genuine km's (log books to prove)

Completely standard bar EVC, Mines cat back and tinted windows

$20,500 on the road.

Where!?!?!?!?!

Bought my r31 for $2000, spent about 20k on parts for my heavily worked n/a 26/30, computer, suspension, wheels, brakes, body kit, etc.

with the every dollar you pay for parts, you will add 30 cents to the value

so my 31 would be valued at about 8k but would prob sell for around 6k if i was to ever sell it (never would, rather auction it off to charity first)

So what you're saying is that your car is illegal and not insured. :sleep:

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
