R34 Gt-t

[trel]

G'day people,

I've searched (obviously not hard enough) as to what an R34 GT-T would be worth these days.

From what I've seen in person these days, I've seen heaps of rubbish. I'm very picky.

Not sure what I need to spend to find a clean, non-accident vehicle.

Can anybody help me or steer me in the right direction? Is there anybody that I can go and see to try finding one for me?

Any help would be appreciated. (Don't slam me if this is a question that has been asked 10000 times ) This will be my first import and I don't really feel like blowing 20k or so on something thats going to give me major headaches from word go.

Thanks!

Well IMHO most of the tempting priced one are normally the early 98 models which means they're now 10 years old, done close to 100,000km or even more and very much modified or abused by previous owner in Japan.

If you're really picky you either need to look at late R34 model, perhaps 2001 or 2002, which are still a 6 yrs old vehicle when you think of it, but these should have better conditions than average. Remember that GT-T is not GT-R, so they are cheap in Japan and therefore the Japanese owners may not respect them as much as we do here because we have to pay more to get them.

I've now seen early R34 GT-T dips below $20k although as I wasn't looking for one I wouldn't know what they would look like in flesh. But if they're cheap, more likely they're in worse condition.

Hmm. Decisions decisions... I might hunt around carsales and what not and get a feel for what's out there. At the end of the day it will always be cheaper to import as opposed to buying local yes?

Arghh. Don't worry I'll get there hopefully! Thanks for the info bud.

My brother just found a 2001 GTT stock with under 90,000k's. Pretty clean, and it will be about 23K on road.

Golden week is coming up, so bargains are there to be had.

I got my R34 GTT Sedan on the road for $15K. It's a 1998 model. Reasonable km's, a small amount of tasteful mods, immaculate bar a couple of paint macthing issues on the rear end (it's been de-winged) and the most spotless interior of any 10 year old car ever. It's just freakin' immaculate. It was well worth the wait.

I got mine for a simular price, they are around you just have to look around and be patient and you will find one they are getting cheap now and it is just a matter of time before you find one, I personly would not spend more than 18 to 19 grand on a series 1 unless it had some tastful mods and be smick as and dont beleave the 98 models that say they have 45 000 kms on them unless they have a full service record from Japan.

All the best

Cheers Andrew.

Mine has 117,000 and the timing belt changed, so the km's are entirely believable
