1997 GTST for sale, located in brisbane

Well it looks like I may be selling my white R33 GTST. It currently has 116k on the clock. I was the first owner in Australia and have had it since 2007, it had 40k on the clock when I bought it. The car is in really good condition with a fair few mods. Im looking to get $16 000. I will be taking it today for a nice wash and have a few things from my list to finish off that are half done before taking any pictures but am hoping to find someone who is interested in it now. The car has a flex fuel and gets just under 310kw on e85 and 290kw on 98 with a pretty safe tune. I spoke with my mechanic and he doesnt see any reason why it wouldnt pass a RWC and I'll be getting that done as soon as I can. I honestly wouldnt be selling it except for the fact I need a 4 door. Possibly interested in trades + cash either to or from me depending on the car.

Mods:

New tires this year

18" wheels, wider wheels on the back with 275 tires

Full turbo back exhaust

Jim barry clutch

FMIC

Vipec ecu

td06 turbo 2 years ago

1100cc id injectors with fuel rail

highflow fuel pump

upgraded fuel reg

coilovers - set to legal height

reconditioned radiator 2 years ago

reconditioned exhaust manifold 2 years ago

all suspension bushings changed last year

gps locating alarm

Clarion fold out head unit with polk speakers all around (I have 2 12s in the boot in custom fibreglass enclosures, the enclosures need some love as I didnt get the carpeted and havent sorted them out to paint but may keep the subs/amp and include the enclosures only)

Meerkat boost gauge pod with HKS boost gauge

Nismo speedo (came with the car new but when the tack started bouncing I changed the rest of it to a GTR and swapped the nismo speedo in)

I have a spare rear ganish that lights up and is all ready to be put in, just havent got around to it

The bad:

Wheels need a spray as the shadow chrome is peeling and there is a little gutter rash (that was there when I bought the wheels)

Clearcoat is coming off

small chip in the front indicator surround (someone backed into me with a towball and took off)

Needs a tune (it stall from time to time when the RPMs drop, coming to a red light for example)

Drivers seat is showing a little wear

If interested please give me a call or text 0416 627 645 and I'll get some photos up as soon as I can. Hard when you got 2 under 2 lol

Anyone interested before i put it up on carsales? Would take 14.5k as it is. Spoke with my mechanic and he reckons it wont need anything for rwc but you may need to borrow a stock airbox

Is no one looking for a r33 or am i asking too much? Its getting a good wash today and up on carsales tonight. Would consider offers, really need to move it. Put 2k into it this week with service and tune

Thanks for that and I realise that Im in the 34 area but considering Ive done the majority of the upgrades in the last couple years I'd think that it would be worth 15k. I would've let it go for a fair bit less if someone had grabbed it off me before the work done this week... probably going to get the wheels reconditioned as well then up on carsales for 15.5k, maybe a little less for one of you guys though

Put it this way, i just bought a s1 with same mods for 6k in qld for a friend. I also couldnt sell my old gtst for more than 10k with 300kw, haltech etc etc. Max these go for is 8 - 10k and they need to be immaculate. end of the day they are a 20 year old mass produced coupe. Nothing to warrant a high price. GLWS just my 2 cents.

Thanks for your opinion. If i saw one like this for sale at 6k id but it for spare parts. I put almost 2k in last week with a service and tune. I'll let it go for 13.5k firm

Thanks for your opinion mate. I just cant understand where you think 9.5k is the price. If you search car sales now for the same model/year you will find 8, one auto. Lets take the auto out... that leaves 7 with 3 lower priced and 3 higher priced. Now if i look at kms there are 2 with lower. Im open to offers but if you have a look at whats around now mine is good value at 12.5k, id probably negotiate a bit 

What you will also see from those car sales ads, is that that is their asking price, it isn't what these cars are actually selling for. There's a reason they sit for so long on car sales.

    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it  
    • Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!
    • Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
