Selling the skyline, where have YOU had good results?


Recommended Posts

Thanks for the replies,

I am selling because I have bought a SIL80 and cant afford to keep both. I am after around 22k, and will be loosing a fair bit on it, as is usual when selling a car, especially when you buy a stocky and start modding :P

sunday times sux big time, not one phone call, autotrader all the way, it came out on a friday and mine was sold on the saturday, so no compaints there, its a little pricey but worth it if u want it sold.... and i think as long as you price it right it should go :(;)

i found the sunday times was good, and the quokka and autotrader were ok.I think every situation is different.

Be prepared for many time wasters on the forums, the majority of them already own cars and want to ask you 100 questions even though they have no intention to purchase...or want to say "if only you were selling this in a couple of months.." or "if only you lived in Vic/NSW/AnywherebutPerth

i found the autotrader jerked me around when it came to selling 300ZX ..... they double charged me for the ad then refused to refund me :rant: wouldnt use them if last person on earth.

Carpoint i found was one of the best for stirring up interest.

Im in the same position. I'm trying to offload an R32 GTR, advertised in the Sunday Times, Autotrader etc and not one phone call. Going to lower the price now because its rather urgent that the car goes SOON!

New car is on the way!!!

Avram - car is now off the market so I can come and take you for a spin some time if you like :)

I had no luck what so ever with the Sunday Times or Autotrader. Lots of dipshits calling but that was about it. In the end I've decided to keep it and buy a second car as a run about.

GTRs are magnets for WuckFits!

Yeah basically to cut a long story short, it fell through. Car was never "on the way" as such, a little bit of money was put down just to reserve a spot. Contract was subject to me selling my car as well as finance etc. Salary packaging bunch sorted it all out for me :rofl:

Instead I've decided to keep it, and buy another car.

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
