Hey guys,

I'm looking to sell my v35.

But just confused about how much it is actually worth.

Is the data on redbook.com.au accurate?

How is the market for our cars? Should ours be more expensive or cheaper than the 350z when compared to them by the same year model...

I've advertised it on Carsales, it's been 4 days now but no calls... :( been averaging 30-40 detailed views per day though...

Errrrrr dude, seriiously, you are concerned about 3-4 days and no calls? It will take you 6 months AT LEAST to sell your car - you may not have a single phone call in that time, unless you advertise it at a bargain basement price (and even then you will struggle) ..... the car market is the worst ever. It took me 8 months to sell my old R34 for $18,500 and it had $20k of mods on it .... different car, but you get the idea.

Our cars are a double edged curse ... they are awesome and seem unique cos no-one knows what they are and the average Joe thinks they are worth MUCH more than $20k-$30k (people are SHOCKED when I tell them mine is 8 years old and only worth $30kish). But, by the same token, because no-one knows what they are, people aren't out there looking for V35s. And those that are have a LOT to choose from (check around on Ebay, Carsales, car yards etc). Sad but true.

^^ Good advice. The majority of the population don't even know they exist, so if you are really keen to sell it, you should be trying to get it out there in everyone's face.. park it in a prominent position with sales signs on it (if you local council will let you do this!).

I have to agree that no-one seems to know how much they are worth. Just a quick look on carsales will usually reveal several cars of a similar age/condition/features, with as much as a $15k price variation. As a reference, I brought my 2005 6MT 350GT sedan with 75,000km for $19k about 3 months ago on carsales, and it has been sitting on there for several months.

Mine is on carsales for nearly 6 months now and got 3 phone calls, 5 SMS's and about 4 scams.

My advice is just be patience. My car price will stay at $23k as it is until I really need to sell it. Good luck.

hey victor, how did that deal go for the car....

Hey Shiva, the potential buyer is waiting to get this loan approved. I should know something next week. As far as I am concerned, it's not a scam as I've done research on his local bank and have talked to few people.

Well that's a relief I thought something was wrong with my ad...

Maybe I will consider a dealer trade in...

But thanks guys!

Hey mate, trade-in price will most likely be very low. I showed my V35 to a Nissan dearler where I bought my other Nissan just to know what they think in August. They only offered me $15k! :(

Hi mate, do you mean our V35 only worth $15k if you trade in for other cars? That is unbelievable...why all the V35 become so cheap recently? I still remember I bought mine 28k from dealer last year.ohmy.gif

That's just by itself, not a trade-in. You can get more with private sale.

I think it's just all about being patient and waiting for a right person. When that right person comes along who knows the real value of your car that's not cheap compare to others because it's been taken of, you won't be disappointed.

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
