Swap N1 R34 Gtr For R35 + $$


Recommended Posts

ask Bobby how much he had his advertised on ebay for lol

($1M - im sure he didnt sell it for that much though)

Luckily, I believe eBay have a cap on the final value / listing fee for vehicles.

Otherwise, that would have been an expensive bill.

For a quarter of a mill thats still represents good value for money for a super car imo. Would still beat a lot of cars today. I wonder if the owners drive them much or if they have them as a collectors and keep them in storage.

well theres only 19 of them so i'd be pretty careful. Its rarer than a lot of higher-end hypercars that cost many times the cost of a Z-tune (AM One-77 springs to mind).

I know in Japan you sometimes see one at those Daikoku Futo meets so they do get driven, but imagine if you owned a car that was 1 of 19 in the existence. you certainly wouldn't drive it everyday. i might make an early morning breakfast run on the sunday though.

Just saying...

But let say if a Nismo Z-Tune did go for a 'Super Car' Price... I still couldn't justify it.

Sure, you'd own 1 out of the 20 that were built but if you take a look at the car, Nismo just made it special from a handful of 2nd hand V-Spec's.

I am aware that an extensive amount of work went into building the Nismo Z-Tunes which has Super Car performance.

My point is, if you had the cash, you'd buy a Base model R34 GTR and work / customise to how you'd want it and still have Super Car performance.

In having said all that, no doubt, I would still own a Z-Tune :)

But your super car performance base model R34 GTR would not hold the same value as a ztune, not even close.

Clear examples going through the for sale section here, cars with 100K+ work, sell for less than 100K.

I should add that a lot of these cars that are built, are faster than the ztune in at least one way or another.

Most of the people who can afford a ztune, aren't buying it to be able to drive it around the track.

Well thats what I believe.

Nismo Z-Tune only holds a higher value because of what Nismo did to it.

So would you pay for performance or for 'name' sake..?

Garage queen? :laugh:

Imaging owning a car thats only going to appreciate in value thats win win. You ever need to sell your worked up vspec you will never get your money back. At least with a z tune you can enjoy super car performance and at a minimum break even if your unlucky enough to sell it.

If I had one the most driving it would do is an occasional late night drive and a track day here and there to really enjoy the performance of it

Yeah, thats the truth. Only cause Nismo touched it thoroughly that it is worth so much.

A car with performance and has the ability to appreciate is a win for me. So in this case, the car does perform and has a name and the added bonus of appreciating value.

Garage queen, in a lot of ways yes.

But I reckon a ztune with 200000km would still be worth a lot haha.

Terry, how long ago was this? Just trying to scope a timeline for the 65% appreciation.

Forget the Z-tune - lets start talking about the KPGC10 coupes - how many of them are in Oz, and how much would they be going for?

I thought they were more expensive than this

Just needs the front diffuser

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
