Even GTSt and GT-t models are starting to creep up, trying to jump on the GT-R price rise bandwagon

Carsales have a few R34 non-turbo 25GT for 14-20k, auto R33 GTSt for 15k, and turbo R34 Gt-t are in the low to mid 20's all of a sudden (one dealer wants 30 for a "low" km car)

and then theres this... http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1994/SSE-AD-2765592/?Cr=393

and this one, ready to ship to usa

it will spike up and flatten out but they will continue up. but i simpy dont think in 10 years when the us market opens up we will be seeing many under 100k

Will these current prices hold/rise until the US can import them? Or is it a case of riding the wave for a few years until it drops?

I seriously don't believe they will drop, ever. Maybe in 100 years+ when we're all dead lol. They are going to continue rising and eventually flatten out at a price above 100 grand easily.

I'm with Gymkhana on this one. Don't think they (specifically R34) prices are dropping for a long time, if ever, especially since the US market is only just beginning. 

Maybe in 15-20 years when the US owners actually realise what goes into owning these types of cars, but even then, I doubt it.

My two cents on this topic; Good quality 33s are on the rise. I started looking around this time last year. Prices were mid to low 20s for a 33 (decent ones) in the time it's taken me to pull my finger out clean stock 33s are around 30-35k. Of course i bought way outside of stock so my car doesnt count as normal pricing. But i can say a R33 LM Limited, cannot be had for less than 45k in Australia right now. They are crazy money from Japan!!!

Found this article. Dam good read would say its spot on atm but what if the maintenance, parts available and reducing quality of vehicle are reduced, wouldn't you think showroom standard sky rocket but substandard just settle down.

This car has just received an offer from Bologna 3 days ago.

That offer has been passed on, to another SAU Member with a BNR34 N1.
Negotiations are continuing between the pair (and even myself to reflect upon), but there's not much change of 300,000AUD
Congratulations to them both, if there's an 'end-game'.

    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
    • yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
    • Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?
    • Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
