I'm selling my 98 R34GT-t Manual and I'm absolutely puzzled as to what to ask for it after being offered $7000.00 on a trade for a 99 BMW 318iS with $14990.OO.

I'm begining to think I'm in for a bath or two , then I look at CARSALES and see most R34GT-t manuals at around $18000.00 and up so I feel a bit better.

I'm asking $15990.00 for mine with stock wheels on here and $16250.00 with stock wheels on Carsales but I realy haven't got a clue whether I'm asking to much or shortchanging myself.

Any thoughts anyone ?

:blink:

sounds about right, just because people are asking for $18k+ doesn't mean that's what it's worth nor does it mean they will get that price. 7K trade in is rediculous $16-18 sounds like a good private figure in my opinion. But then again i'm assuming yours is in reasonably good condition with less than 100k on the odometre, ok service history. Drives well.

good luck and post some pics of the car up

Not long ago I was offered more than your sale price as a trade-in on my car, strange how some people have a lend with price when they consider it "too hard basket" they hope you'll do a cartwheel and hand over the keys, meanwhile they've just doubled their money....pfft

The selling market is pretty much dead, no pulse.

I have trouble selling my R33 GT-R which is reasonably priced and I'm open to negotations.

Expect some dreamers, which is pretty much normal.

It's the way it is.

Shameless realy.

You forgot to add an important element in your advertising Al.

ie. why you are selling it !!!!

Advert should contain words like,

"Owned and loved by elderly gent, who now has to revert to an automatic due to reasons pertaining to my spine"

In the Prelude Australia forums, the guys regard Preludes F/S & owned by older dudes like us as being holy grails!

We tend to take care of our wives better than the younger guys too cough... cough...

Didn't realy want to play the crook card even though it's true as I thought it smacks of "the dog ate my homework " or "I'm here from the Depertment of Taxation--I'm here to help you" sort of thing , probably worth it though--although truth and advertising are often starange bedfellows.

As for the wife thing--' Takes all night to do what I used to do all night ' comes to mind :)

As a sidenote the add has just been thrown of Ausrotary--IFIIK why :(

The market is pretty much dead atmo, I've been trying to sell my GTT for awhile now and in my opinion mine is a ripper of a GTT but have had little to no interest at all.

The price your asking in my opinion is low, no to long ago 20k up was the norm for a decent gtt.

How about, "Owned and cherished by mature gent" then?

That's how I've sold my cars before + the fact that I needed to use my mother's address closer to the city.

I just resumed meeting up with a Salvos friend @ his stall, on the main street of our town.

He goes into hospital for back surgery in 3 weeks.

He's just sold his Clubman - couldn't get into or out of it anymore.

He's about to buy a '76 Corvette for $34K, but hasn't driven it yet.

He's been in my car and was very impressed as we went through some twisties here in the Mtns.

I told him about your car > so Rick is mulling it over. He's after RWD anyway.

I agree with you there on the low price but you know how it is when you finaly make the decision to move on you like to just get on with it if I'm going to take a hit on this I'd rather take the hit and go forward than push for 2 or 3K more and end up taking a hit anyway--just IMO though. :D

I also need to sell before I change my mind and spend stupid amounts putting new seats in cause of my stupid back--then 'll come the sway bars and links, then the nistune and frontmount and boost controler and soon enough Ill decide that I just have to have a set of Tiens or Drummonds cause I wont be able to work out how I've lived without them , then out will go the Enkeis and in with Rays cause we know hoe essential that extra 650 grams gain PW is an the streeter and by then Ill be looking for wife No 4 cause I'll have worn No three out---and thats how it goes.

So I realy actualy do need to sell. :P

Took your advice there and bumped it with the extra info , bit of a jump Corvette---Skyline R34GT-t but thanks for the prop , much appreciated , it'd be a good saving though, and a more practical car , Corvettes are great for a belt but a bit squashy for room. Cheers, :P

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever that anything was wrong.... I'm very happy it was all spotto'd and re-bled and re-torqued and aligned though. Will be picking it up tomorrow and undoubtedly be like "Oh, that clunk is gone" "Oh, the car really wants to drive straight" "Oh, that pedal feels better" "Oh, it feels like I've gained 25hp" "Oh, the handbrake works now" It should have been a sign that the new Project Mu shoes had 3mm of pad depth on them out of the box, and the OEM ones from 25 years ago that we took out also had 3mm of pad depth, implying the issue was not, and never was the shoes, but we put that down to it not being adjusted correctly. It wasn't, but it wasn't even adjustable at all given one side was boned and the T Junction of the cables was on a 45 degree angle, the non-working side being the one on the massive angle. Obviously when I had adjusted it and reset it and re-tensioned it I had either got it stuck or something along those lines. Oh well. Live and learn and absolutely could have been catastrophically worse so I'm rationalizing it as a win, kinda. I also got the chance to measure the distance between rear rim and the suspension arm/shocks and found a 30mm rubber block only just doesn't fit there. Which is great to know before ordering wheels, when I assumed 30mm was easy. The man with the Porsche adapters has rims that use 23.9mm of that space, so it's safe to assume I have between 23.9 and 29.9mm of space there to play with on the inside. The wheels looked pretty stupidly pokey with the 20mm spacers on the rear, only for me to find that the studs come out another 12mm and the wheel doesn't actually sit flush with the hub because you're supposed to cut your original studs. The wheels do have cutouts that kinda accomodate it, but not fully. So my 20mm spacer was anywhere between 25mm and 35mm. ~25mm and send it will determine on where the wheels sit with the spacers on. When I put the pads in for the track day I will mess around with spacers (with wheels that do not clear studs properly when mounted to spacers) and do more math, for the last time, for the 7th time.

      Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life

      One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that one side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
