NISR32.5 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hey guys im looking to buy a r34 gtr. I dont really want to spend 50k so im looking at more of the lower end of the scale. Theres one in Prairiewood NSW that has caught my eye but the price seems low im wondering whats wrong with it. Does anyone know this car? http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/nissan-skyline-2000-11849290?base=1216&vertical=Car&cr=4&eapi=2&__N=4294739858%204294856205%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294963846%204294963593%201216&silo=Stock&Range=Price:Min,Max~1&sort=default Any info on the car would be great.

adamskill Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 i dont know the car.. i dont know the owner.. but im finding it very hard to see what your problem is?? you dont want to spend $50k.. but one for $40k must have something wrong with it?? is this your logic? its a FOR SALE addvert, call the guy selling it and ask about the car!!!

gotRICE? Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 It does seem a little cheap considering the mods and KM. But then again, sometimes it just takes one person to sell it cheap and others follow. Could be a good buy. Best bet, go see it! Impossible to really tell from photos that to me look like have been instagrammed to death.

scarf Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I've seen this car driving through St Leonards. I think it was for sale in the mid 40s not long ago.

GTR-34A Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I inspected this car late last year when i was searching for mine... it was advertised for 55k at the time.

nomnomv8 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 For the price it looks like an absolute bargain. Worst case motor blows, big deal put a 2.8 stroker in it and have a beast for under $50,000. To put things in perspective there is no way on earth you could build a reliable (use this term loosely) 400kw+ 34 GTR and get any change from $60,000 including purchase of the vehicle.

hamiltonau Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I inspected this car late last year when i was searching for mine... it was advertised for 55k at the time. So was it good?

GTR-34A Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 So was it good? Dont really want to bad mouth the car and stuff up his sale, but i will say this. looked like it had a rear end accident (not 100% on this, only looked at it briefly as very early in the inspection i knew it wasnt the car for me), looked like a pretty average respray job on most of the car, and the front bar looked like it had been sprayed in a backyard (could still see large sections of white where they didnt paint in the vents etc).. the engine work looked ok though.

OVA 300 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Fingers crossed on how long a standard motor will hold together with 400+KW. Kilometres mean nothing without detailed log book proof from day one.

hamiltonau Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 pffft i hear 400 is about right for GTR's and have seen a few with at least that at tracks perform with no problems.. even factoring in a respray it still sounds like a bargain!

BakemonoRicer Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I wouldn't be surpised if he accepted 30k given its been on the market for a long time. Just beware of structural damage as you will get a lot of problems if it hasnt been repaired properly. Id buy a car with a perfect body and a blown engine (can be replaced easily), over a car with a messed up body and a good engine anyday.

Cheers for the input guys. This was the kind of info I was looking for, someone that has actually looked at the car before. Even better a actual GTR owner (Rather nice one aswell ). I would love to go look at the car in person but seeing as im in a different state I would rather try and find out some info on the car first before I was a flight over. I even seached through the forums to try and find the owner.
