The 380,000km R34 Gt-r Sold!

[mxfly]

We were all talking about the R34 GT-R that had 380,000kms on auction last week (or was that 2 weeks ago). Well it was sold today for 1,560,000 yen which equates to about $18,500 in aussie dollars. Then add the usual FOB, freight, taxes, compliance, and other misc fees and you will have yourself a GT-R for under 30 grand.

I can't wait until she lands on our shores, so everyone stay tuned for this baby.

Other pearlers worth mentioning as well.

2001 M Spec (well it's claimed to be but I doubt it's the real deal), 165,000kms, grade 3.5/B --- sold for 2 mil yen

so you bought it ??

[Owgasm]

Haha.. which poor soul will pay $40K for it when it lands?

[JoelyMoley]

*waits for it to pop up at a dealership, conveniently with ~300,000km missing*

I actually had a buyer with more on it than that but my agent had someone else in his company with a higher bid than mine, I presume they bought it, not sure who for though.

[Beer Baron]

be very interesting to see how it's faired in terms of NVH etc. probably about the same as a commodore with 50,000kms... actually probably much better.

Its actually not a bad buy if the buyer plans to do a full overhaul similar to the sort that a lot of R32's receive

I agree with this. I can't help but feel that I should have bought this.

[Iron Chef]

I had a buyer keen to gut it and replace everything, so it would've served that purpose very well.

I was very keen to do that

That raises a point; how often do r34's come up with mechanical issues?

Eg a blown motor (bearings or similar), surely they would be priced close to this 380,000k one?

I saw a rolled NUR Spec in Millenium Jade at Nagoya a few months ago. There was not an undamaged panel on the car and it sold for 1.1mill. Prices lately are just bizarre, absolutely all over the place.

Rolled? Bloody hell, what a waste.

I mean one thats structurally fine, clean enough inside etc but a blown motor, or a blown gearbox (or just no motor and box altogether)?

Motors over here are easy enough to buy, or just build

As you can tell by the prices they pull at auction, if a 34 has a blown engine or box it will simply be replaced or repaired.

It's not like they're at a value whereby if the engine is blown they're worth nothing. So, if you were to find one with a blown donk, it would likely only be cheaper by the value of a rebuild engine.

Even if you were to find one like this, the extra shipping costs due to it not being drivable with outweigh any real benefit.

I remember that one, I think I put 500,000 or something on it just for the engine/drivertrain...

THese generally don't make it to auction, they get bought by dealers or fixed by the owners. Plenty of rattly 32/33s go through but generally the type of person who owns a 34 has the money to fix the car before selling it.

Thanks guys
