Hey guys,

For those in the know what price can I expect, and how long can I expect to wait to find a mint condition stock R34 GTT coupe manual in black. I know its very specific which will make it hard, but I'm coming off my P's in the next year or so, and have to sell the Supra first so I'm just trying to get an estimate on what point I should sell the Supra and start looking.

I'd be willing to pay a bit more to get a clean example if required. Also, what chance of damage is there when shipping across? Does shipping it in a container reduce the risk, and how much does it cost?

Thanks for any info guys.

I haven't been watching 34 GTT auction prices in japan for a while now so can't help there but I certainly wouldn't both container shipping. Roll on Roll off is plenty safe. I would be surprised if one in 5,000 cars is damaged. they are loaded carefully, strapped down tight and deep inside the ships belly. for a car like the 34 GTT that is over 10 years old and worth less than $20K container shipping is way over capitalising. I have only bothered to container a car that was worth over $150K and was brand new. even then it was a line ball decision.

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
