Hi I am thinking of buying another Skyline. I did have a nice R34GTT however it caught alight and burnt to the ground. Thank God for Shannons. The question is what should I expect to spend. I have seen a nice 370 GT asking price ,private,$270000.Is this a fair price given it is 5 years old.

Cheers

Steven

Why would you not post pics, km and specs, so we can give you a real opinion? If it has 200,000km, then it is a crap deal. If it has 10,000km it is amazing deal, but has probably been wound back.

Welcome to the forums, but please use your brain when you put up a new thread.

I would try to negotiate down to $240K AUD, that would be a massive saving. With the $30K you'd save, you could even buy a second one - lol.

I notice you did not have a R34 GT base spec....so why go base spec V36?

Buy mine, I will take about $235K off what you are expecting to pay....

Ok OK I put one O too many in my excitement

Just go to the carsales/whatever ad, select and right click all the text in the address bar at the top of your screen (the www....... bit), then in the reply window of SAU hit the 'link' button just above where you are typing (it looks like the link of a chain) and press 'control+v' keys to paste the address, hit 'ok', then hit 'Post'

For $27,000 it is going to be either deal of the century or an absolute piece of crap.

At that price i would imagine that it wouldn't be an SP, would have higher kms and/or have a pretty low auction grade.

Post up more detail though, who knows.

This must be the one that you mean.

Listed as Type S but based on the small wheels and lack or MT or paddle shift, as mentioned above I think that you will find that it is actually just a base model 370GT. For $27,000 its still not necessarily a bad buy but it is the lowest range 370GT that you can get.

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
