Easily still get $60,000+ on a V-Spec II with low Km's and keeping it stock.

V-Spec can go for about $50,000.

Base model GTR would be about $40,000.

If it's modified, it will lower the sale price.

The more mods, the lower it will become.

How so..?

It's not a super-rare model/collectors item.

So if someone puts a built motor/brakes onto it - i tell you now it wont sell for LESS than it would if it was stock.

That's just madness.

I see,

So you can get back money on mods..?

How much can you put back on top of the stock price if modded to what you said?

yeah, Ash is right, for our cars, mods done properly will definitely add value, but obviously not at a 1:1 ratio of what you paid :D

you could probably work out a very rough idea of $ spent on mods vs value added to car, like say 30% or something like that. I sold my GT-T last year for low 30's, compared with say high teen's for a basic manual GT-T - so done properly with quality mods, should definitely add value

A nice V-Spec II, low kms - fairly stock, low $60K's sounds about right - nicely basic modded one for around mid-high $60K's i'd say.

didnt realise this was a discussion about 1:1 ratio of $$ spend vs $$ recouped.

Was a simple question of would a modded one sell for more, the answer is most certainly - YES! :D

That's what I wanted to know.

Thanks.

no cos the price of mods V what extra you get on the price will be lucky to be 50% so you still lose.. except you get the enjoyment of said mods.

its probably worth 60k but its what someone is prepared to pay for it that matters

if it was me id by a stocker for 40k and spend 20k on mods if i had a budget of 60k

unless yours is some ultra super mega rare midnight purple III or something obscure i see (and probably most) zero value in vspec II over normal vspec

Guesstimate $59K Plus or Minus - Depending on...

* Proof of low Kms

* Servicing

* Mods done here with quality hardware & reputable tuner Vs sight unseen Vs stock

* Colour

* Condition of car and upholstery

* Tiredness of engine/running gear Re: street Vs track

* Absence of rust

* Absence of damage or that it has been fixed properly

* Demand Vs supply

* Time of year and state of economy

Enough variables?

depends on which mods.

a bastardised car with a mess of mods would be cheaper. something well built etc will be more. like Daniels midori R34 :thumbsup:

Depends what's done lol

All true :)

I'm with you on that one.

Besides, to make a base model R34 GTR to level up to the V-Spec / V-Spec II, won't take much.

A few cosmetic changes + the MFD, suspension mods and you're pretty much done.

No point debating it, Paul's right here...it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Not half cost of mods multiplied by x divided by v-spec to the power of MFD. Until someone hands over the cash that's all just speculation, particularly on a car with such variation in sale price.

Start at the top of the market and work your way down in price until you get low enough that a serious buyer comes along and can't resist purchasing it. That's what everyone else does. And be prepared to wait - it's a specialist car. However long you spent looking for your car and waiting for the right one to come along, that's how long you could be waiting to sell it for what you think it's worth.

Or price it reasonably and sell it in a week.

Stuffing around for 4-5 months trying to sell an import for that extra '3-4k' just isn't worth the hassle in many instances. 100's of questions, tyre kickers and time wasters.

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
