Average [40k] is about right with dealers & resellers, direct imports can be had for as little as 33-35k, though 30k is definately a stretch - that is if you want a 1/2 decent car...

there was also another one that went thru about 3 weeks ago... black... no wing... TURBO... was a 99 model... nice rims and a POD filter and aftermarket front bar and that went for 31k.

Yes, that car had over 90,000 kms on the clock - or perhaps even more? And from memory it was an auto...[cheaper in japan in auto as this is standard manual is optional cost].

no it was a manual and had about 75k on the clock... point is u can get them cheaper by importing...

the 27k R34 GTT was stock... yellow and had about 89 on the clock... it was accident repaired but repaired very well. for 27k i'd get it.

EDIT***

if i had the money at the time that is

no actually it was yellow... got a pic but its too big and i have no editing software here at work.

use windows "Paint!" lol, unless iprimus don't allow it! :(

So you guys reckon there might be something wrong with that GTT R34 for High $30? it has only done 22,000km's and the paint seems pretty intact.. no scratches.. think it is a 99 model..

Nope.

Just make sure you give it a thorough checking, like looking for uneven lines in the panels / bonnet etc, look for welds under the bonnet where the quarter panels meet the engine bay. Also look for resprayed panels - usually lighter or darker than the rest of the car...maybe get an racv report on it. Drive it! And then bargain for it - if you want to that is. Price is quite good, but you can probably knock it down a bit - I bought mine from Ballarat too!

Oh yeah, and ask the seller if its been in an accident!

I am under the impression the car in question [pushead's thread] is in the town of Ballarat.

Cruize down to ballarat today as one of my friend wanted a r34.

$36.5 does seem a touch high. I'm budgeting around $37K for an R34 GT-T which i'm going to import later this year. Just saving at the moment. The only info i've been goin on is the J-Spec auction lists, and average seems to be around 35K, cheaper ones low 30's, more expensives ones around 37-38. I'm trying to find one like the one in my avatar which is going to make things a little more expensive again. Tempted about black at the moment too, coming to join ya nismo!! :D

the silver one looks very nice, really like those wheels. Suit the car real well. There was a private GT-T for sale in Ballarat. Saw it at carpoint.com.au. It was the GTR Purple, looked very, very l337! :) I'll try and find it...

    • OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat
    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
