$18,000. not a fan of the kit, or interior, or the uber cool t-wing (!)
lmaoooo

but hey thanks for the honesty

Don't worry about him daniel. He is one of those fellas that thinks R33 looks the most sick out of all the skylines.

I'd reckon you can get mid 20s for your car as most of the buyers don't 'value' the mods done to the car but considering it's a 2000 model, you might get a bit more.

Good luck ;)

So much to write about my car, but comes down to the fact that i think it might be time to go, looking into some sort of convertible, either porsche boxster or beema.

anyway hoepfully people can give me some rough prices on what theyd be willing to pay if they were looking for a r34 gtt.

specs (most likely missed a shitload of stuff but people will get the hint) also apologies if everything is jumbled up im just typing as i think of specs.

<snip>

also these pics are from when i just bought it in japan ( not to long ago as i havent been driving it for no more than 6 months)

thanks heaps guys

Everyone is different, by personally I think you'd be better off trying to get it visibly back to stock as much as possible.

If I was a potential buyer (and I was, only 6 weeks ago), those aftermarket gauges, seats, steering wheel and rear wing would put me off immediately. Better to return it as close to stock as possible and sell off the aftermarket stuff seperately.

Value? Probably 25K tops - I paid $22K for a just complianced 2000 model GTT 6 weeks ago in VG cond - and that's from a dealer.

Dont forget the market over here in the WEST :D

People tend to buy skylines at higher prices as less of them around.

Economic stuff less competition etc....

So advertise online.. carsales etc, and let them know that you dont mind send interstate at buyers expense...

30 000km mileage with proof of KMS is pretty good for a skyline.. knowing most of them have been changed!

also you can never expect to get a return on mods of a car

they are simply just not worth much/anything to a buyer

in any case, a stock car would probably fetch more than a highly modded one

so if anything i would sell as many mods as you can

or maybe even think about writing less in the add at least

"R34, with few mods, zaust, cooler, gauges"

Sorry to say mate but i would't buy the car because for me the Pro wings they just don't look right... But thats just me... Good luck with the sale if u sell but i would say it is hard to make a price just have to look in ur area and price to suit and condition of car.....

Frankly, you can get a fairly clean stock manual R34 GT-T 2 doors imported directly from Japan now for under 17.5k landed and complied.

Your car seems to be above average, so probably add 1-2k on top of it in stock condition. Sell the aftermarket parts separately.

Put it up on Carsales at a higher price and then reduce it a little every 1-2 weeks, and after a few weeks you'll get a realistic idea of how much it's actually worth on the market. You'll never know when you're gonna get lucky.

Just my 2c

yeh thanks for the input guys, havent had a chance to advertise it as yet, but once i give it a good clean il chuck it up on carsales, probably advertise it with all the mods now, and maybe a higher price, but if that dosent work out il have to consider getting rid of the a/m parts seperately and flog the car of in stock for hopefully for low 20's

and if i get a few grand back in mods than il be happy

If you're looking to sell the power fc let me know :(

And what kind of boxster are you looking at??? DO NOT get an older one and make sure its an 'S'..... or you will regret it big time.

haha yeh ive heard a few bad things about them of late which has kind of turned me of, but if im going to get one it'l have to be something fairly newer, but also went to see a r34gtr the other day along with a 350z convertible, so still in the market for anything really, but maybe more heading towards something convertible..

  • 2 weeks later...
  • 2 weeks later...

im going to c a black 99 r34 gtt next week. its a freshly imported car and if i purchase i will be the first owner in australia.

pretty much the same mods even the same recaro lol but with out the power fc and that is asking 23,000 landed and complied (obviously not incl reg etc)

but black is a nicer color to me and i will always pay a lil more for black lol

i reckon on carsales u could probz get 25k for this puppy. its clean as and the k's are indicative of a well looked after car.

ive personally sold 3 cars in the last 12 months and i usually got 3-4 grand less than what i advertised for

my 32gtr - i got 15,500

my lexus ls400 - 12,000 (it had like 300k on the clock lol)

my 200sx 10,000

if ur happy to let them go a lil cheaper then generally u will move them quick

    • I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever that anything was wrong.... I'm very happy it was all spotto'd and re-bled and re-torqued and aligned though. Will be picking it up tomorrow and undoubtedly be like "Oh, that clunk is gone" "Oh, the car really wants to drive straight" "Oh, that pedal feels better" "Oh, it feels like I've gained 25hp" "Oh, the handbrake works now" It should have been a sign that the new Project Mu shoes had 3mm of pad depth on them out of the box, and the OEM ones from 25 years ago that we took out also had 3mm of pad depth, implying the issue was not, and never was the shoes, but we put that down to it not being adjusted correctly. It wasn't, but it wasn't even adjustable at all given one side was boned and the T Junction of the cables was on a 45 degree angle, the non-working side being the one on the massive angle. Obviously when I had adjusted it and reset it and re-tensioned it I had either got it stuck or something along those lines. Oh well. Live and learn and absolutely could have been catastrophically worse so I'm rationalizing it as a win, kinda. I also got the chance to measure the distance between rear rim and the suspension arm/shocks and found a 30mm rubber block only just doesn't fit there. Which is great to know before ordering wheels, when I assumed 30mm was easy. The man with the Porsche adapters has rims that use 23.9mm of that space, so it's safe to assume I have between 23.9 and 29.9mm of space there to play with on the inside. The wheels looked pretty stupidly pokey with the 20mm spacers on the rear, only for me to find that the studs come out another 12mm and the wheel doesn't actually sit flush with the hub because you're supposed to cut your original studs. The wheels do have cutouts that kinda accomodate it, but not fully. So my 20mm spacer was anywhere between 25mm and 35mm. ~25mm and send it will determine on where the wheels sit with the spacers on. When I put the pads in for the track day I will mess around with spacers (with wheels that do not clear studs properly when mounted to spacers) and do more math, for the last time, for the 7th time.
    • Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life
    • One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that one side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D
    • Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.
    • I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
