Thoughts On This R34 Gt-r?

[No Crust Racing]

Car is completely stock, has Nismo exhaust and front pipes but standard dumps

So that's what... another 10k in mods to get it to 300+rwkw?

Maybe not that bad given I can do the labour myself - not the tuning.

EDIT: Looks like prices have changed a bit and it's not that expensive to get 300-330 on 98.

-7 or -5s
Injectors, Fuel pump, Cam gears
Cams not necessary but would help (and sound lovely)

PFC and tune
Full exhaust, some conjecture on 3 or 4"
AFMs

Standard intercooler and airbox fine.

Speaking to the salesman, not good.

"With the vehicle itself the price is fixed we are not discounting the vehicle so it’s probably not the vehicle for you in that case.

To buy this vehicle at today’s exchange rate it would be even more expensive."

"Irreplaceable for that money."

I'm trying to get parts thrown in, anything.

I've just sent one final email to say is there absolutely no room for negotiation in this?

As much as I love the car, when you seen fairly nice examples around for 55k (white) with a built motor, 59k more or less for a stocker (even a nice VS2) seems a bit expensive for my budget.

This SAUWA R34 for $55K ~ was always my Benchmark for pricing, to date i still think it was the best value R34 to sell in recent years

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/446039-r34-gtr-v-spec-5a-import/

Other solid buys to memory are (forgive me if the values are off, these are listed prices;

Matt's KING87's GTR $55k ~ with genuine Z-Tune guards/bonnet, 6-pot Brembos, Mines piping - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/146573-r34splease/page-149

and Tangomatt's GTR - $90K ~ ~ with Everything, basically a 1/3 price Z-Tune with more - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/287693-racepace-built-r34-gtr-nur-rb28-v-cam/page-1

Another soild one was this Black V-Spec with HKS V-Cam pushing 340awkw for $65K ~ - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/401854-fs-r34-gtr-v-spec-with-hks-v-cam-ex-tpg34r/

The first one - I'm mates with the prev owner.. He sold it far too cheap, as evidenced by the sale time... Oh well.

[No Crust Racing]

Any chance you know where it went and if the new owner wants to sell...

[Hadouken]

Lol new owner will sell at a profit

The missus was not pleased about the prospect of a 55k car that still needs another 5-7k spent and won't see much track time lol

She was more OK with the idea of 55k finished and I would actually use it a few times a year on track.

With that VS2 I'd be reluctant to go harder than 7/10s I think...

What Hadouken said..

Ahh you're worrying too much lol. Its not going to blow up going once or twice a year if you take the necessary precautions.

[No Crust Racing]

I'm not worried about it blowing up I'm just saying that I wouldn't be driving it anywhere near as hard as my Silvia.

[Hadouken]

Oh you jinxed it

[No Crust Racing]

Ohh and devaluing it.

[Hadouken]

I'm starting to get the feeling that a 34 is just not for you.

[No Crust Racing]

I partially feel that way too... Then something like the silver one pops up and I get a car boner...

[Hadouken]

But your wallet gets flaccid

[No Crust Racing]

I want it all for 55 lol

Vspec2 all the bolt ons etc.

The reality is that doesn't seem to exist.

The other issue I have is being jaded by the QLD car.

Now having a harder time justifying that kind of coin for a 15yr old car.

[Hadouken]

33 it is then

[No Crust Racing]

And then I see something like the silver 34 lol

Seller came back and said 58990 delivered is the price. Passed.
