Hey guys,

Just reaching out for some help as I'm trying to sell my 98 R34 GTT Turbo manual coupe but not having any luck.

The k's are on the higher side @ 172,000kms.

But the car is in good condition with only a couple of minor scratches.

Tried to sell it for $14,990 but have now dropped it to $13,990.

Please check my car out by clicking on my sig to see the for sale ad,

Let me know what price you think people are willing to pay.

I need it gone this week!

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Jaylon

I bought a 34 recently with 145k on the clock for $10,500 and it had a fair bit of work done to it, Tein Suspension with an EDFC, 3" turbo back exhaust with a split dump pipe and a few other bits and bobs. It's in GREAT shape as well, just needed a little TLC in the engine bay.

It's a buyers market right now unfortunately mate.

Wow thats insanely cheap!

Was it manual and 2 door?

Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to sell mine that cheap.

Might have to wait it out a bit and cut back some stuff on the wedding :(

$10,500 is cheap! I paid $8800 for my r33 s1 manual coupe with low km's and in good condition just over a year ago so I think the price your asking is decent. I'd pay $13990 if I was in the market for an r34 in good condition. Maybe take it off the market for a few months as there seems to be an abundance of skylines for sale at the moment and it's so hard to compete when some are selling for next to nothing.

$14k is cheap for an r34 compared to others advertised...

yours is high km's but they all are in reality yours just has not had a haircut...

my point is advertised averages does not tell you what its worth, its worth what someone is willing to pay...

maybe take it off the market and bring it back onto the market via carsales after tax time at $14k ono...

Yeah fair enough,

I went into it thinking $15k would be sweet,

but now I realise what people are willing to pay for it.

I have one guy keen,

he's willing to pay $13k so I think I might have to bite the bullet and settle for 13.

Thanks for all your advice!

Since buying my 34 I keep an eye on the market eg. carsales and threads on here, and 34 sales (and perhaps most turbo's?) seem to be quite stagnant. Clean examples with low k's that would have been advertised for $20k + at the start of the year are now opening at 17-18k. I know a few 34's that are STILL on carsales that were floating around when I started looking for cars 6mths ago. Assuming they are as good as the owners and pictures say, they simply have not dropped in price and hence do not sell.

From a buyers point of view the k's on your car would be a turn off, although it looks really clean and has a few nice mods. Love the front lip, have the same on my car :thumbsup:

Just remember its not a vs/vt/vx commodore or a 4cyl runaround, just gotta hang out for the right buyer. gl

good luck mate, puts a downer on me as one day i will have to sell mine too, and I know how hard its guna be..I bought mine for 14k a year ago with 86000kms and it had a few tasty mods to boot.

Hmm good point.

It's just that I needed it gone a couple of weeks ago to pay for wedding stuff so I'm in a bit of trouble with money.

Was thinking this would sell quicker if I drop the price.

Hope people haven't been turned off!

This is gonna sound like a really stupid question,

but what can you use to write on the windows of your car?

Carsales never sent me the for sale sticker and I've emailed them countless times for it.

Thanks.

If it's still for sale in a couple of months, I'll take it off your hands for the money you're asking mate.

I'm starting a new job within the month and I'll be making a lot, so it all depends on how long I have to be working to get a loan, but if your car is still there, I'm keen as mustard.

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
