Hey there, I've just spent $100 on 3 products, 1. Meguiars NXT Carwash 2. Meguiars Quik Clay Kit 3. Meguiars NXT Tech Wax I have some existing products such as Meguiars paint cleaner and Soft wash and Quik Detailer I'm just a budding enthusiast, so what i wanna ask is, Can you look after your car decently for under $250? This would include; 1. Carwash 2. Clay 3. Paint cleaner (is this necessary?) 4. Polish 5. Sealant 6. Wax On this budget what brands/products are best? I know there are some insane routines out there, but essentially can you get away with a wash, clay, wash, paint cleaner, wax? I'm going to be sorry for asking, but what is the importance of a good polish? *runs and hides* So for the mediocre enthusiast, can you spend under $250 for good results? Thanks in advance, Danny

Hey there, a friend of mine bought a 94' Prelude from there and he highly recommends them, price was good and the best thing he said was the warranty, a few things went wrong a week after they bought it, and the warranty covered it in whole. Also with the test drive, i don't know if this goes for every car but my friend was able to drive the car on his own, he just gave his license to the staff to keep a hold off. Just be wary of buying interstate, as you cant make use of the advantaqe of buying from a good dealer, a 3 yr warranty for example. Hope that helps Danny

I read the HPI issue when the R34 GT-t was released, the RRP was $120,000 brand new in 1998, it was built to compete with the BMW M3

Hey matey, i have plenty to learn i know, no need to flame. I just wanted people to get a good idea of the car to give some feedback, and in the end, costs and a few other things all factored in so it wasn't worth traveling down. Yes there are good cars in NSW, however the prices tend to be a bit higher here than they are over in QLD and VIC as well as more R34's in VIC, so to get the best deal you have to look everywhere. Hope there's no love lost =) Danny

Thanks guys, just an update, im not buying the car after all, costs just started climbing before i could even see the car in person, a few other things as well, but other from that if anyone buys this car they will not regret it, its priced to sell and the seller is very honest and open with any inquiries, if anyone is interested, the car is on drive.com here: http://www.drive.com.au/used-cars/NISSAN/S...716594&pt=1 Thanks for the advice again guys will keep them in mind for next time, Danny

I agree that you get what you pay for, its just you have to remember who your potential buyers are, young p-plater kids (like myself) Its perfectly fine to list your car for what you think it rightly deserves, but i reckon the idea of selling an NA car is to tempt P-platers to not wait to get of their P's to be able to drive the car of their dreams. Just some figures, the last auto NA R34 coupe to sell went for 11,500 and the last manual NA R34 coupe to sell went for 15,500, in no way am i comparing the quality their cars to yours but just some food for thought. KV2R34GT - no hard feelings =P Just my 2 cents as i'm looking for a NA R34 myself, all the best with your sale i hope your car gets the price it deserves. Danny

Thanks for the tip, he was selling them as replicas anyways and the asking price was gud but yeh thanks alot for that i didnt notice it till you told me. Danny

Hey there, is the kit still for sale? If so how much for the lot? Thanks in advance, Danny

I was looking to buy that car for a while, congrats on the buy it looks great! Im buying a NA R34 aswell and the exaust on it is a 4.5" Powerpro so i got to ask the seller if its under 90db. Only thing that put me off that was the price, the last R34 NA Auto went for 11500 here but it was a silver one so hopefully yours will do a little better come time to sell. Hopefully you got a good price for it, i don't wna be rude but are you able to disclose how much you were able to get it down to? If not, i fully understand. All the best, I am buying a Black NA Manual R34 Next saturday aswell hopefully, check out my topic under General Automotive Discussion. Great car! All the best mate Danny

Thanks alot for the kind thoughts, i am getting it inspected comprehensively by STATEROADS first thing this monday so that will pretty much determine how things will go when and if i fly down next saturday, also i may get him to get the dent fixed before we go down to see/buy it. Also i have an uncle down there aswell so he will go down to take a good look at the car aswell. Thanks alot guys, keep the advice flowing! Danny

Hey everyone, So here's the story, I've been scouting faithfully for the better part of a year and i've finally found the car that i really want. It's a; - BLACK R34 25GT COUPE - Manual - 78XXX KM's Comes with a few cool parts, - GTR replica 8000HID lamps - NISMO eyelids - NISMO shortshifter - GTR replica front bar - UNFITTED - 4.5" POWERPRO muffler - DVD touchscreen - LED foglights - VOLK RAYS time attacks TE37's 17x7 - 114.3.5 - NEW UNFITTED WITHOUT RUBBER So as you can see the last pic is a dint near the door handle aswell, which is quoted $400 to fix The final price I've managed to get for the lot is $16,400, I feel the price is not bad since the cheapest NA Manual Coupe to sell on this site was a silver R34 which went for 15500 so all in all i think im getting not bad a deal. But i will have to fly down with my dad $220 from Sydney to Melbourne and drive up and to fix the dint will be around $400. REVs and STATEROADS inspections are also being done $300 together So i just wanted to seek some grey wisdom by running my plan by you guys in terms of covering the bases. Personally im a bit blinded by my love for the car and on a reasonable note i feel that its a fair price to pay for the car as i will have 2 projects (Rims and Front Bar) to do with it when i have funds. Feel free to voice any opinions you guys might have, the last time i did this i got some heaps good feedback so i know you guys wont let a meek, nub p-plater like myself down. I need some of your experience to rub off on me! Thanks a heap in advance, much respect for the members of this forum Danny

Thanks alot mate, really appreciate it, in such little time aswell

Hey there, my dad is helping me to get a loan, i've been looking for a car no for a better part of 12 months and ive finally found one =D its a Black NA R34 Manual - $16400, the interest for the loan will go down from 6% to 5% so it works to be about 80 a week. But yeh i'm 19, work a part time job at KFC (LOL don't diss) and do full time uni, and i just started my managerial training to try and concrete my job so yeah. I'd only recommend that you don't go by finance, go via a personal loan just incase u want to sell it prior to completing your loan. Hope that give you some insight if any, Danny

Hey, would somebody be able to help me out? ER34 - 009327 Thanks in advance, Danny

Hey mate, just wonderin, how long have you owned the car? do you have receipts for the 98 octane fuel? and any reason for selling mate? ps. clean car, i love it! Danny

Hey mate, wow great car, forgive me if i didnt pick it up in the description, what year was this 32 built in? Cheers mate, Danny

R34's seem to be going through an incredibly hard time selling atm, they're beautiful cars, it sometimes makes me think about buying one for the moment.. Great car Brooks, hot 19's, as soon as i get approved finance you'll be hearing from me chap Danny

Hey matt, yeh the warranty was the main pull for looking at dealerships but now it's hard to see who's on your side in terms of buying a car, a third party inspection would really help. Cheers bud the support is appreciated Danny

Hi mate, great looking car at an insane price, one thing though would you be able to post up a pic of the Blue Nissan Build Plate? Also, would just explain why you've decided to sell the car? Thanks mate just wanted to register some interest in this car =) Cheers Danny

Hey Tom cheers bud, nah sorry i don't work up at Nth Ryde, yeah thanks for the help, unfortunately i'm unable to drive turbo'd cars for a few years yet but thanks a heap, appreciate the responses as this is my first post =) Cheers

Cheers Sammeh, appreciate it thanks also for the link, its exactly what i'm after

G'day everyone just been on the look out for the last few months for a R34 Non-turbo Ill just put it out there, willing to spend 12,000 for a stock and 15,000 for one with a factory optioned ALTIA bodykit Cheers, Danny
