Hi everyone,

Looking at getting a 34 GTR and want to ensure I can sell it easier in the future. So between white, black and blue, which do you think has a better resale value and most of interest in Aus? Also why do you think so?

Please vote if you can and discuss. Thanks a lot for your input.

Here are 3 of the colours with similar setups.

Well I voted for 1 of them which is the only option; but it's a close call between Pearl Black & Bayside Blue imho.

Both are less common than white.

Midnight Purple III is less common still but very popular.

Yellow is not so popular except to Shell.

Red seems to be love or hate.

Verdict:- White is slightly less in resale value; by hey, if it's kept in great cond. you'd be fool to knock it back (if there's short supply at the time).

Advantage of Black:- You can paint the front splitter Pearl Black to colour-code.

Disadvantage of Black:- Swirl marks will show up more than any other colour, so one needs to procedurally polish them out.

Pretty much all the GT-R's colour options are great (llok at the entire list its purely awesome).

I'm a little biased because I have a black R34 myself but Bayside Blue is an awesome colour and when people picture an R34 GT-R they usually picture it in blue, a pretty cult colour.

At the end of the day an R34 GT-R is going to be awesome anyway!

I personally am leaning towards the blue too but the black looks badass if done well. My wifes uncle has a Nur Spec II in the green and its ok. He used to have an older bayside blue and that was nicer.

Here is another question for you guys;

Standard late model 34 in original spec with low kms (say 20,000kms)

or

99/2000 with a bunch of mods like the one above with mid to high kms around 70,000kms to 80,000kms.

Which would you rather buy??

The question my friend is, are you prepared to pay a lot more for a very low km late model car than a higher km earlier model unit. Because the difference will be huge.

    • This isn't for lotsa powers, and time and effort isn't even a thing I'm concerned about The whole reason is "Just because fun", and "Just because fun" is what I do And whilst there are other kits, with better and more modern turbos (Rev9 use the same Kraken manifold I believe), where in Sydney can I do a drive in drive out with the after sales support that MX5 Mania give My Turbo 86 made around 200kwatw on a AVO turbo kit, and was over 100kg heavier than the MX5, but it was a blast to drive around the streets, until I crashed it.....DOOH, so somewhere around 200 ish level and some whooshy noises and I'll be happy driving to work, the shops, or heading into the country with Jackie for Devonshire tea So, thanks Dose for your info, it sounds like a 0.64 will be fine for what I'm after👍 The only real racing I do nowadays is to the toilet  
    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
