Hey Guys,

I am about to sell my current car, my R32 GTS-T Skyline (car is discussed here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/381631-how-much-is-my-r32-worth/page__hl__playboi14)

I am looking to get an R34 GT-T as a replacement for my current R32, because as much as I have my R32, I would like a newer base to start work on if I am eventually going to put more money into it.

I am after a good standard R34. If you look at my R32 in the thread, you will see I am meticulous when it comes to fine details and appearances. I am after an R34 that has been cared for, as much, or more as I have cared for my current R32. That being said I am after one that is:

  • Later model, so 1999 would be preferred
  • One that has semi decent K's (nothing silly in the 170,000+ range), anywhere from 50,000 - 150,000 is more of what I am looking for. Considering the car is really only 11- 14 years old it shouldn't be that hard to find one with decent K's
  • Has a well maintained and cared for interior (no silly shit like air-con vents removed for gauges, stock gear-knob removed to shove a $30 repco gear-knob on it, driver & passenger seats ripped or worn out for some reason, etc)
  • Exterior has to be stock. Overall subtle upgrades like clear indicators are fine, but I am not after a big fully sick R34 with a massive full body kit, 22 Inch chrome rims, a two tone car with half of it black and the other half painted in lime green, or any other variation of strange and weird things I have seen rolling around.
  • Mechanically, I am after one that has seen limited modifications and alterations, I don't mind if the brakes, suspension, exhaust system have been upgraded or enhanced as most people do this anyway on old cars. I am just not really after a powerhouse of a R34. I don't need one that has had its turbo's upgraded, its coilpacks changed to spitfires and its computer changed. Again after a standard car that hopefully hasn't been modified or played with too much (to limit the amount of money, time and frustration in the future)
  • Not fussed about colours really. would like to have it in black but any of the stock standard colours are good. I don't mind if its been resprayed, but if its been resprayed in some strange non skyline colour (or worse a bodgy paint colour where the outside is one colour and the engine bay and the boot are another) I am not really after that.
  • While a sound system is good, I honestly couldn't care less about it. I don't care if it comes with its stock player and speakers as eventually I will put my own sound system in it
  • Would be great if it come with a sunroof, or any other factory extras

I understand that the R34 is getting old and that there has to be scratches, dings, and overall wear consider after all it IS just a car. However if anyone has a nice stock R34 I would be interested in seeing how much you want for them.

That all being said, in the next few weeks I will be getting my R32 registered again and changing the very last few small imperfections on it, so I can sell it on.

If anyone would consider swapping for my R32 GTS-T with additional cash your way, I would be interested in hearing from you. Or if anyone has an R34 and just after cash for it, I can see how much difference I will need to add on top of he sale of my car to buy it.

Im thinking anywhere around the $14,000 - $17,000 range I would be willing to spend, depending on the car itself.

Whoever wants to comment please do, I know im fussy as, but there are always the rare jems that somehow people seem to either luck into, or find through hard work, and I would like that type of R34 :P

- Regards

Probably asking a lot

Hey Mate,

Thanks for the reply, Yea I like my R32 but Im just after something thats a few years younger so I can use it more of a daily drive and weekend car.

I've spent thousands on my car, I actually kept a detailed folder full of all of my receipts and figures that I have spent on my car, hundreds of them (however for some of the places like wreckers I had to simply put down how much I spent in a spreadsheet).

I stopped a few months ago when even I was getting tired of spending money on it lol.

Seems to be lots of R34's rolling around, but I just want to find a good stock one :P

I have a decent one but its manual and from memory you were searching for an auto.

If you change your mind and want a manual here is the link - http://www.carsales....lo=Stock&eapi=2

Thanks for the message mate.

I am really looking for an Auto as my main preference, but I am open to manual still. Also looking for an R34 in as near as stock condition as possible, with the standard R34 rims, steering wheel, instruments, interior and mechanicals as possible.

However thanks for the interest mate, have a good sale :P

Thanks to all the people messaging me, I am still looking and am always interested to see what type of R34 your selling :P

ill be putting my car up on the market soon once I put some more rego on it and clean it up.

Hey mate.

i am really after a 2 door. but i am open to the 4 door version depending if it has a bodykit and if its manual or auto. not really after a non turbo r34.

Thanks.

Hey guys, still looking at buying an R34, or trading for my R32 + cash your way.

I have started a thread here where I outline my car: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/384754-selling-r32-gts-t-outstanding-condition/page__p__6137635#entry6137635

Haha, Yea it seems to be that way, everyone seems to be after an R34.

I think I am going to keep my R32 and make it even better, and either next year or 2013 buy an R34, as I dont want to go for the cheaper 12/13K ones and get rubbish.

Still interested if anyone is selling a decent R34, or looking for trade + cash for my R32 but I am not that concerned now :P

    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
    • Hope your all having a mean Xmas! If anyone happens to know any trick to using the insanely complex climate control system, I cannot get it to not be on dual zone no matter how many times I deselect it (will say it's not but both vents blow different temps). Also one side is always hot, one always cold 🤷
