I think I've seen those prices before, are they accurate? I always thought GTR's were over the 100k mark (especially considering the 300ZX was 93K?)

If they are accurate, the R34 depreciation rate is amazing. 13 years on and still approx 50K today for a clean, unmolested vspec example in a popular colour.

The ADM R32 GT-R sold for about $110,000.00 plus on road costs. The price I quoted was the Japanese price in Yen then converted at todays exchange rate, purely as a guide. I don't know what the exchange rate was 20 years ago. The 300ZX Automatic in 1996 was $87K so I guess with ORC the $93K figure is accurate however it was 5 years later vs the 1991 ADM GT-R. From memory the Australian dollars was at the bottom of the birdcage in 2000/2001. It was at about $0.47c to the USA Dollar so on the cross rates against the Yen it may well be 50% more than the price I quoted.

You also need to remember that they made about 44,000 R32 GT-R's, 16,422 R33 GT-R's and only 11,300 R34 GT-R's. That has a bit to do with it too....

Cheers,

Bob.

Not sure on the accuracy of those prices. I remember seeing a receipt of purchase from a Sydney yard dated back to 2003 from memory on a 99' R34 Vspec that the owner payed 100 - 110,000 on.

In terms of depreciation all cars do eventually hit the downward spiral (unless its a rare model ofc) but 50k for a japanese car thats now 12-13 years old is certainly good resell value !

Thats what I noticed when shopping, with GTR - most likely because there arent many unmodified ones left.

Here are some examples that support that.........

I know that these are dealer prices but one would expect it be realistic based on the mileage.

Some very low kms cars there so the price is understandable. The first two I think reflect something in line with what I own.

Cheers,

Bob.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
