Thinking Of Selling Your N/a R34?

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I just wondering if anybody is getting off their P's and/or thinking of selling their R34, there hasn't been to many on the market recently and i have been contemplating on importing one from overseas. A few things I'm chasing in a R34 are; 2-door, factory aero, preferably manual but not fussed. I suppose i don't want to take the time importing one if there are good examples being had locally soon. A few good examples at Top Secret in Blacktown and M & T Ausport in Revsby but just wanna see if anyone is planning on letting their's go anytime in the next few months.

Located in Sydney but interstate isn't too much of a drama, will discuss prices with the owner in person or later down the track to avoid being rude so yeah, simply PM or reply to this thread, hope to hear from you guys soon! =)

Cheers, thanks for reading

Danny

Hey there matey, thanks for the reply, we'll have to see then hey. If you can add a few more details about the car either on here or through PM, pictures if you can aswell if you already have some. If you put it on the thread, other P-platers will be able to see the car aswell which is good so yeah. Keep them coming!

Cheers,

Danny

PM replied,

We can get something like a "N/A's For Sale Soon" thread. Hopefully it will help some peoples. Since people will always be getting of their P's it can help both parties

I saw that car from Carizma for sale ages ago, i know you got it for quite a good price as the list price was only 15,000 or so, they're a reputable dealer down there.

Been looking for almost a year now, seems like taking the extra time to find one i really like in japan is the better way to go, alot of people in Aus trying to capitalize on the P-plate laws, i know of one seller here trying to get 20k for his R34 when he only bought it for 15K lol, so we'll see how things pan out.

This isnt just for me im sure plenty of P-platers are looking for a N/A R34 aswell so keep em' coming!

Cheers everyone,

Danny

thing is mate the shit economy has driven the price of imports up now, so people can sell them for more, so as you say, it will be even more difficult to find a good example for the money you want to spend. I travelled to vic. for mine,a s you know (somethin i never thought i'd do) but i was lucky to have gotten a car they imported before the economic downturn, These days its costing up to $15000 to get a good example into the country let alone complied. Ah well if ur ever interested in a silver one, let me know. Like i said, its not on the market, but if someone offers the right amount i'd sell it no worries. So until that day its just gonna have more money put into it :sick: lol

^ sounds like MR_XTC, he aint going to get $20k for a NA. even a p plater won't be that desperate to pay that much for a GT.

i might consider selling mine at the right price (pm me an offer, i can take stuff off to make it cheaper)

98 model, 86,000km

serviced every 5500km with elf fully synthetic oil

just changed gbox oil to castrol vmx80

tein HE coilovers

new brake pads

k&n hi flow panel filter

genuine gtr front bar, lip & bonnet

de-spoilered and holes properly filled & sprayed

sony xplode amp + clarion 12" 800W sub with custom sub box to sit in corner of the boot

6000K HID kit

you wont be getting one in from japan for under $15k landed & complied with this current exchange rate unless its a dodgey one thats been half cutted & slipped through inspections.

i was going to get mine before through iron chef imports and that was going to be around $15k for a 99model, with sunroof in black or white.

I'm confused. I heard it was a good time to import cause Japan is in the economic shitter, and that the exchange rate was better than ever.

Hmm it works both ways at the moment, by no means am i an expert, but although the exchange rates have hit the fan, the Japanese economy is also down the drain, and on top of that people that own old cars in Japan must pay a higher tax yearly for their cars so the price of cars have dropped in Japan.

So with the exchange rates going one way and the economy going another, good deals still exist, perhaps more so in the next few months than ever before.

Anyone who has a more informed opinion feel free to correct and modify

Thanks for the amount of interest in this thread, its great!

Cheers,

Danny

Thanks for the PM's and replies guys, i'm just a little wary with 100,000km+ cars as they are very hard to sell as is, i'm planning to try find one under 70-80,XXX ks as i will be using it quite a bit so ones with already high mileage are a little out of the equation for me. I'm in no way judging anybody's car, its juts a preference. Auto's are also very hard to sell unless they have unique aesthetic options (bayside blue, factory aero) etc.. So thanks for the interest, but my search continues..

I disagree with the auto part.

I've just started a new course and I swear 90% of my class mates didn't get their manual P's. They just don't want them anymore.

There is some truth to that statement, but just see how the autos fare on the for sale section is quite poor, you'd know this already but when you get your greens, you can drive any. The last NA R34 auto went for $11k when his original list price was $16500 which is some indication of the demand for autos. Each to their own however, i dont discount your opinion, i simply have a different view.

Cheers for the input,

Danny

    • So I've been working on the car a fair bit, doing a lot of little things. Preparing some projects for this winter, as I'm taking 13 weeks off very soon for parental leave. Have my second kid on the way and he's due any week now. I'll need something to do while he's sleeping. I also usually take the car off the road in about a month and a half, until sometime around the end of March.  Still making slight adjustments to my tune, as the cold weather settles in. I've also had to start dropping boost and tire pressure as the weather gets cooler. It's getting very swirly at highway speeds. I drop to 20psi at 20C and 18psi spring pressure at 10C IAT's. I'm currently on 255 Falcon RT660's, but may look into running 275's next summer. They will fit, but barely. Might have to raise the rear a tad.  I'll start redoing my exhaust Monday, as I have the week off. I currently have an oval center muffler and cannon rear muffler. I've been told more then once from people behind me that my rear bumper is going to catch on fire one day. Seems I blow 5-10 second flames after doing a pull. No clue if that's the WMI, as I've never been able to do that before with other cars. I wanted to angle my tip down a tad so flames are pointed down and away from bumper. I also wanted to take the opportunity to reconfigure my exhaust line. I'm going to move my oval muffler to the rear with a pie cut angled tip and put in a new smaller round muffler in the center. I've rocked cannon mufflers on this car for the last few years and want to transition back the oval muffler look. I've also been looking for a stainless project to try out the new solar flux I bought. I'll post pictures on Monday, should be able to wrap that up in a day.  I'm also picking up another rear subframe this week. I wanted a second so that I could modify one with a gk tech anti squat reduction kit during the winter, and still be able to keep the car a roller so I can back it out of the garage if needed. I will also be caging it this winter. More on that later. Lastly, Speedtek still hasn't given me diddly squat. Every week for the last 4 weeks, they have been saying next week. They told me Friday to expect a shipping label that day to ship my two bad sets of ring and pinions back and nothing. There's definitely been more contact since I started destroying their company any chance I get on Facebook, but it's still just words without action.   
    • Have you done a pressure test on your intake/piping? Cleaned your IACV and Cold start valve?
    • Bit of a dump of ones I saw on my trip. I also have a heap from daikoko but that’s technically not  on the street 
    • i was thinking that the 2 wires that go to the sub from factory has some sort of preamp like you mentioned and also a lo Pass filter to get just bass. now that will only use 1 channel and that really should be all i need for a sub? if i was trying to put a set of speakers in the back i can understand cutting into the left and right speaker wires. i will try how im talking about doing it and if that is crap i will do it the way of all wires. thanks for the input guys.  
    • Challenging mig welding thin Aluminium pipe and trying to fit it in, having to bend and twist, but got there in the end. Fits really well and can easily get a socket wrench in there now to put it on/off. I'm in the middle of another project, so haven't installed the suction pipe yet. I'll post some pictures and results when i do.
