Buying R34


Recommended Posts

Guest kenshin

thz for ur info

a frend of mine sellin R34 TURBO 99, km almost 10k(not GTR)

condition still good and im plannin to get 1 from him but he was askin whats my offer for that

whats the minimum and max offer u guyz think i should offer him?

im thinking abt the resale of this car as well actually.

are they gonna be dropped significantly and slightly?

cuz this car is just for a short time use only, abt 1/2 year i'll be using it, so i assume the condition will be almost the same and km wont be much diff after i drive it around.

will that do $1k,2k,3k,4k,... droppin price for using it another 1/2 year?

thz guyz cuz im really concern of the resale value. If the price drop much then i wont get thr R34. im thinking abt how much $ i'll lose if i use the R34 for 6mths only. $5k=6 mths or..........

kenshin, through importers, you could get an R34 GTT (99ish) for about $30k unrego'd.... even dealers have them now for $38k in yellow with low k's. it sucks i know. :D

sorry franks, please dont hurt me.

It is manual franks

is that ur sky franks? cuz i seen yellow sky around chinatown couples of times since im stayin there. And ur loc is in the city as well, could be urs =)

iv been lookin for r34 in newspaper but hard to find 1

u guyz know any good dealer specialise on this imported cars in sydney? cuz i wanna visit few of them

prolly it'll be cheaper if i can find private car rather than dealer

i wish i could!!!!!!!!!

10-15km, manual, 99-00 for 34 gt-t max $40k and what the min value i can get if i purchase from dealer?

and how much the rego? cuz thats the only cost we gotta pay if we buy from dealer and i know nothin abt it, since this is my first time buyin a car =( very sad case i know

another question, how much i gotta pay for the insurance anyway for this gt-t, cuz i heard its very expensive for turbo car

whats the best way to get the lowest cost for this shitty insurance(legally) LoL.

kenshin,

on victoria road just out of the city and past birkenhead point there is a dealer (old big boys toyz shop) that have 2 yellow gtt's.

there is also a dealer on parramatta rd, nth strathfield area (i think its called eddy lee's or something) that had a yellow gtt...the ones that i did see were rather stock.

there are also 2 x BNR34's forsale i know of - WARIO and SWOOP. bayside blue and black respectively, asking price is around 120k. a couple of the most known BNR34's in sydney atm.

nah, thats not my car :P i hardly goto that area...i think im gonna hold onto mine for a little longer cause they're getting hard to find with mods.

kenshin, prepare for some battles with insurance. If you have never had a car before and i presume you are 20ish? or early 20s? i would say prepare to spend well over $3/4k per year. To put it into perspective, when i had my R33 Gtst, i was 21 with a 60% no claim bonus (6 years of driving with no claims), no speeding tickets and my insurance was 2700.. you have no no claim bonus and the car is worth more than my gtst was worth, so expect to pay close to double mine.

i also pay $3k for my GTR now.

whoa can i just pay the insurance for the 3rd party only? a case like when i crash into some1's car, the insurance would only be payin for that person, not including my car so i gotta fix it by myself. Another way is to pay the satelite tracking system or somethin like that, so u dun have to pay that expensive.

a frend told me that way but hes not sure.

so many yellow colors available on the market

i found few ppl sellin r34 but the price isnt much diff with the dealers

BTW could the dealer or jp side reset the kilo for r34?

VOTING whats the 1st and 2nd best color u guyz think? taking it as consideration =), seems like yellow color diff to resell back Y/N?

    • @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.
