Hey all. 

It’s been a while since paying any interest to my old hobby. 

I am looking at selling my R32 but have no idea what it’s worth. 

can anyone offer genuine advice and of what my car is worth.

The car has been driven a no more than 50kms in the last 6 years, it has 93000kms on the clock  

 

1993 R32

Rb30 soc running 19psi 

Forged pistons

Hbeam rods 

gt35/40 turbo

50mm waste gate

Eboost2 

Custom plenm 

Big intercooler 

3” stainless exhaust turbo back 

wade stage 2 cam

Microtec lt10s ecu with dash

M&W pro10 cdi & fireball coil

Fuel lab regulator 

880cc injectors

All new high temp spark plugs and leads

Bosh 044 fuel pump with surge tank 

rb25 gearbox 

1000hp clutch 

one price tail shaft 

longer diff gears 

The car was painted 13 years ago and had lived in a garage the whole time I have owned it ( 17 years ) there are a few scratches and dints but nothing major. 
 

 

I am sure there is more but can’t remember. 

 

Thanks in advance fellas.

It's 2020. All Skylines are worth $100k.

- Non turbo R32 GTS that's been outside and hasn't been turned over in a decade? $30k
- 1994 R33 GTST Automatic with ebay parts and Nismo dash? $25k
- 1989 GTR 32 with 300k kms and 'Jasma' brand exhaust $50k
- 1995 R33 GTR, white with yellowed headlights $65k

The world's gone nuts. Ask what you want for it, there are plenty of dummies out there who'll pay $30k+ for it.

Not saying it's a bad car, it's actually very nice and I like it. But the market is dumb right now, take advantage of it.

Thanks for the replies fellas. 

  Well i didn't think they would be worth that much but i guess they are worth what people are willing to pay..... I would be happy to get $30k!!!!! 

  In regards to the power, i cant remember but it was around the 500hp mark last time i had it on the dyno a few years back. 

 Over the next few months i will be getting it tuned and cleaned up for sale so i will report back when i know. 

  I appreciate all the feed back. 

 

Marketed right, 30k minimum in this market

In 5 years time it won't be worth half that

A market can’t really be dumb...cars are simply worth what someone is willing to pay. But someone can definitely be upset at the market when they can’t afford what they want ;)

I'm upset with the market because I would prefer it if my car was still worth $10k instead of probably $30k. Given that I am never going to sell it, the "value" now does me no benefit now, never will, and only actually causes me problems (insurance will cost more, replacing it should it get damaged will be impossible, mongs will want to steal it more than they did 5 years ago, etc etc).

I’m in the same boat with an R33 GTR...so I know the financial burden gentrification of the classic vehicle creates...nonetheless, that’s an incredibly first world problem to have 😉

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
