OK guys I just want some opinions on what my car is worth i.e what I will realistically get for it IF i decide to sell it.

It will be a regretful sale but I have all my money tied up in it (I own it outright) and need some cash.

Anyway I have listed the details below (excuse any mistakes - I am a bit of a novice):

1993 S1 R33 GTST (Midnight Blue)

261rwhp @ 9psi (Hyperdrive Dyno)

Moderate mods and a safe tune

Not driven too hard as it is my daily driver

Regularly serviced and maintained by Hyperdrive

110,000km

Body kit (GTR look-a-like kit from Autoworx)

Tinted windows

17” Advan RG’s (silver)

Lowered King springs

Whiteline front sway bar

Turbo back exhaust

Pod filter

FMIC

Power FC (+hand controller)

Blitz EBC (dual solenoid)

Turbo Timer

Extreme heavy duty clutch

Pioneer Stereo system (worth about $1500)

Blue interior neons for that extra BLING factor.

Well that's all I can think of at the moment.

Your comments will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Tay

The onli thing that could possibly hold you back on your sale would be the car year. other buyers might be more inclined to lean towards a series 2. I would value your car at about 16-19k with 17k bein the lowest offer i would accept if i was sellin the car. If you were to sell it i would definatley pull the sound system out as you lose a huge value on it when reselling. Unless ur keen to ditch it.

17k for those mods you got to be joking?

seriously if you going to sell your import dont sell it on fourm cuz you will never get the best amount you can for your car, i say throw it in the autotrader if you where thinking of selling it for atlest 20k, i would be inclinde to say u could get 22k if you dont mind waiting

p.s dude ive seen ur car once at hyperdrive, and it looks sweet as very clean, :stupid: top skyline ;)

who would want a 93 for 20... mods or not?

you are dreaming :D

I sold my last car a 97 series 2 with full exhaust manual and 70k/km on the clock for 20k.

Depends on condition.

For example , we have a client who just purchased a 33GTR from the East for 26K.

After inspecting the car I would have rather bought a 32 GTR for the same money.

It is a dog..

To get back on track , Tay's car is a very nice example that looks mint with the RG wheels on it.

Has been regularly serviced by us and no expense has been spared to maintain it.

261rwhp is very good for a near stock one and shows the condition of the engine.

Cheers

Check autotrader and the like - see what people are paying. Better still, pm chowetime, she has just bought a skyline after looking at many cars, most of which she was dissapointed with - perhaps she can give you a feel for what is on the market and how much it goes for.

Remember, its pretty hard to say what a car is worth, until you have seen it yourself - there is alot of difference between a well modded, well maintained car in excellent condition (when I bought my 94, everyone who saw it and didnt know a thing about skyines thought it was a new car - it was that neat) and a car that hasnt been looked after. As Ken said, there are dogs out there :D

tdawg, my 94 with mild mods, in near immaculate condition and 80k/km sold for more than your 97 series 2 - either

you underpriced your car,

some people put more value on mods than you do, or

your car was in average condition even with the low kms

Thanks for the feed back guys.

I consider my car pretty clean all round - the bodywork is good, interior is fine. Anyway I will do some more research (autotrader etc) and then make a decision on the sale.

I was hoping for about 19K, but it would seem I am probably 1-2k of the mark. And at that price I'd probably keep hold of it, we'll see.

Tay, if worse comes to worse, remove some of the nicer fruit, sell the car and the bits seperate. Things like a power fc, fmic, ebc, will sell pretty quickly.

Oh, and fit a BOV if you want to sell it, or have one ready to throw on to seal a deal - alot of guys seem to think this is THE performance mod to have.

The car looked an felt brand new, I just didnt feel like waiting 3 months to sell it. I priced it less then a car yard would and sold it quickly.

      R34 power steering

      49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
