I'm toying with the idea of selling my 96 R33 GTR LM Vspec. As much as I love the car and have thoroughly enjoyed upgrading and improving it, I barely ever drive it these days and I keep seeing other toys that I would like to have.

Just looking at what is going on in the market at the moment, there seems to be a lot of imports available and prices appear to be fairly low. I don't want to have to give the thing away just for the sake of getting rid of it, i'd rather keep it if that's the case.

Thoughts???

Cheers,

JD

I'm amazed (and disappointed!) at how cheap a standard 33 GTR can be bought for at the moment.

Unfortunately money spent on them is all down the drain.

Lucky it's good fun playing with them and driving them cause it's gunna bite you in the arse come resale time!

I'm in the automotive sales industry and it's not just Skylines that are suffering. Things are so competetive from a new car perspective that used car values are driven down as a result.

Hopefully once consumer confidence comes back in the future things correct themselves a bit and go back up a bit.

In answer to your question I would hold onto it until you find something else you REALLY want cause it's gunna hurt!

JD, all of the above posts are spot on.

In addition to those, I can only suggest that particular care be paid to how you market the car. This will make your car attractive enough to enquire about.

Your manner on the phone and your frankness about even the slightest flaw may then convince the prospective buyer to pay a visit.

When the prospective buyer knocks on your front door, it should be in pristine condition.

I have more comments to make about all 3 points ^^^ if you wish to PM me.

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
