This is for the benefit of those still sending me pm's for a swap.

I advertised the car when I lost my licence and the yen was favourable. The plan was to sell for $50,000 and buy back at $40,000. Thankfully it didnt sell, the yen changed, the cars are coming in for $65,000-$70,000.

I now have my licence back and will not be letting the car go for less than its worth. The price for cash is $50,000 or $55,000 for a trade. The $5,000 buffer is what I expect to lose when I sell your car.

If you dont like it, pay cash. I have since aquired a brand new genuine C West bodykit, front and rear bars, skirts, eye lids and vented bonnet. The kit will be going on soon, and the price will adjust accordingly.

By all means inquire about the car, just remember the trade rule and dont get offended. Aside from Twoogle and King 180, I havent really been tempted by any other R32's. I cant register Twoogle in Vic and King 180 and I come couldnt come to arrangements. Unless your 32 is up to the standard of these 2 cars, I wont pay more than $20,000, you always have the option of selling first.

The C West kit is also available till I fit it. The cost is $5,000.

Thankyou to all that have inquired

All pm's replied. There is no point putting the value of your car up by $10,000 then reducing mine by $5000 and hoping I'll swap, I'm not desperate, I have my licence back, all reasonable offers considered in terms of trade in. Sorry to those I've knocked back, but swap places, would you swap if you had the 34 ?

Well I just looked at an R32 GTR with a skull climbing out of the dash, so I will look at anything.

Send pics to [email protected] if you like.

Cheers

I can confirm this car is a perfect example of a stock R34 GTR, super neat and clean. It never gets driven as the owner states which is a real shame.

i can confirm the above statement, but i am assuming it now gets driven haha

There is nothing wrong with your price whilst it's in perfect cond.

JapLink Motors in Sydney has been having trouble selling a R34 GT-R for months until last week because...

i) market went deadish over Christmas

ii) the Y went north c.f. AU$

iii) ppl are holding off on cars exceeding $40K thinking that they'll come down

Now that you've got your licence back, drive your R34 more and even come up to the R34 GT-R 10th ANNIV Event!

Already have interest from TAS as well as ACT.

I have been driving the car more often, but alas, I work from home. I am always looking for a chance to get out there, but its alot of money sitting there not being used.

I have had some enquiries today about trade ins. I understand that very few people have that kind of money to throw away on toys, and the fact is I'm going to replace the car if it sells, that is why I am so easy going in regards to trades.

Some see this as there is something wrong with my car lol, just come see. By taking a trade in, I solve 2 problems for me and 2 for the new buyer. As long as the car is clean and interesting, I will have a look, the worst I can say is no thankyou.

I'm waiting for pics now.

As far as going to a car show, no time sorry, I am flat out with my gym business, no time off, 7 days a week.

    • 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.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
