For a low km, grade 4.5 R33 GTR Vspec....

I predict 100-120k by 2021.

I respectfully disagree.

 

R34 GTR prices (with the exception of rare models) have reached the top of the bell curve now. They might be a flat 100K by 2021 across the board, shit ones included, so i doubt the 33 will be at the same price point.

Reviving this thread.

Still contemplating a full detail, tune and advertising mine properly, however hesitant of timewasters - Seems there are a number around.

Anyone advertised and managed to successfully sell a Series 3 BCNR33 of late?

Mines either going to a new home at the start of the new year, or its copping another big round of mods because I can't help myself :/

So what does the mod list look like? ?

Some R34 prices from NZ (these are asking prices - don't know what people are actually paying) $110k, $105, $119,  $135, $136 and $140 (yes there are a lot for sale ...good luck with those prices!) R33 GTRs are $45k and $59K. A low mileage 2008 GTR is $60!

R33 is a LOT more popular in USA than the 32. And 32's are hitting 80k+ already. 

An MPII 34 grade 4 with 80,000kms? in OK condition sold for 160k. Remember, collectors want the cream so have to pay for the cream.

Wow I'll have to start exporting them from NZ to USA! Presumably you can register LHD cars (steering wheel on right)?

Just a quick update for you. Since purchasing my car, i've up the insurance value from 80 to 95k. So R33s breaking 100k might just happen. :)

I've spoken to a few people in the US and they are of the opinion that R33s will eventually outprice 32s or at least carry a similar price tag over there. He spoke about the 32s breaking the ice for imports and parts, and how some people he was speaking to were hanging on for the R33s. They were deemed to be more desirable than the 32s while being more attainable than the 34s for most of his potential clients.

If you're talking about the one that sold at auction in Tokyo recently, that had 47,000km and was well above average condition. Sold for 9.2mil yen

I've been thinking about this topic a lot of late. Does anyone have any hard data for the appreciation curves of GTR (any models).
I'm thinking of creating a spreadsheet to track volunteers who are willing to disclose their purchase prices.

Bumping up. I too would love to know where I can get the data from... Is there a way of obtaining past data from Redbook, do you know?

I actually started to look into this, then got distracted.

Closest thing i can find are the Auction results online for Japanese Auctions (GTR registry has started to record some) and an American website for classic cars called Hagerty. They do valuations for the American market.

I have no info on the UK market (except facebook posts and that's all anecdotal).

Basically the best way to keep on top of prices is to be watching the market that you are in and compare it to the others around the world.Screenshot_20190720-144532_Chrome.jpg

A quick look at TradeMe shows NZ asking prices for an R33 GTR ranging from $50k to $65K (five cars).

R34 GTRs are one at $132k, 2 @ $150k and one at $181K!!

Just to complete the picture R32 GTRs :

One at $57k, 2 @ $64k,  2 @ $68k, and one at $84k

What they will actually sell for, who knows?!

If it means anything, I paid about $38k USD for my virgin 85km V-spec series 1. I think the 1995 is in high demand due to them becoming legal in the US next year. 1995 GTRs are the last year of the Skylines that can get a CA license plate too, without getting through the expensive OBDII emissions issue. I see the 1995 going for a premium in CA.

A couple series 1's hit the auction this past week but not sure what they sold for. Last series 1 grade 4 v-spec I bid on and lost sold for 4,500,000 yen two weeks ago.

Low mileage full original no repair history r32's go for 5-6,000,000 Yen here in Japan now.

Evan we are lucky to have bought GTRs now as it will be virtually impossible in the near future. The prices will be even more insane than what they are.

There is no other car that makes the power the way a GTR does, nor is there a turbo engine that sounds nearly as haunting as the RB26. Not even the 2JZ sounds as good as the RB!!!

The skyline GTR was the hero car for the end of an era.

Man you're making me want to buy another one! I can't wait to spend some more time with my gtr. I really didn't get to spend much time with my r34 once I found out it'll never be legal in CA. We're all lucky!

    • I'd say the easiest way is, pick up a extended and baffled sump with fittings already welded on. Here is an example, it has 3 x -10 fittings  https://shop.maatouksracing.com.au/products/rb-extended-and-baffled-sump
    • hey OP can you remind me what the actual question was, I got sidetracked at V12. Do you have an turbo oil return leak and an unidentified coolant leak? The factory oil returns are terrible design; short, rubber and expensive to replace. They are very common to fail and a pain to replace because they are so short. Still, they are available new if you want to replace both last time I checked. For the coolant leak, any competent mechanic should be able to do a pressure test; that should show up where the leak is. It is almost certainly one of the billion 30 year old rubber lines which are now brittle as hell, you engine will be fine.
    • From the OP's description, sounds to me like the TCU is in 'limp home' mode --- that is, no actuation power to shift solenoids, and the EPC valve is shut (full line pressure). This effectively sticks the box in 3rd gear, with as much line pressure as possible, to try hold the high clutch clamped shut....and so you get woeful acceleration and don't feel any shifts (because they're not happening). If you don't have Consult or some other scanner to interrogate the TCU itself, you can test with a multimeter to see if it's in limp home mode....ie; stick it in D with engine at idle (hold vehicle with hand/foot brake), and measure the voltage at the TCU feeding shift solenoids A & B -- both should be ON (battery voltage). If they are energized at the TCU, you can unplug the harness from the TCU, and check resistance down through the wiring to the solenoids themselves -- you should see about 20ohms on each coil --- if you do, you can presume the wiring to shift solenoids is OK -- if both measure open circuit, you have to check intermediate connectors in the loom down to the gearbox (and the gearbox connector itself), and check the shift solenoid resistance at the gearbox connector itself --- if the shift solenoids test open circuit here, problem is in the box (ether the solenoids or wiring to them is bad). If you get no voltage at TCU connector for the shift solenoids (and the solenoids/wiring test OK), check powers/grounds to the TCU itself --- if they're ok, it suggests the TCU is the culprit (and you'd need to interrogate it if possible, to find out why it's behaving badly)... 
    • Hey mate give Autotechnica a go, I recently got some Comfort PUs and rails from them, they're comfy and look great highly recommended! https://www.autotecnica.com.au/part-finder/nissan/skyline/r32/
    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
