    What The R35 Is Doing To R34 Prices

    in VR Series - R35 GTR, Juke-R

    Posted

    Sent an email to Powerplay a few months ago as I'll be looking to purchase one around the end of this year.

    I asked them if they think R34 GT-R prices are going to drop any further and they replied with this:

    Hi Alan,

    It is impossible to predict what will happen with R34 GTR prices in the future, at this stage the prices for good condition, low kilometre cars are remaining firm.

    The release of the R35 GTR will definately have an impact on R34 GTR prices & I will be closely monitoring the market over the next 3 months. I think the prices could go either way, up or down. If the R35 GTR sells extremely well there will be a lot more R34 GTR's available as owners upgrade to the new model. But, this could push the prices of the R34 GTR up as overseas markets compete with each other. Also, there is the local Japanese market to consider, R32/33 GTR owners upgrading to the R34 GTR, this will also push prices up.

    As more GTR's come on the market you would expect the prices to drop but demand from overseas buyers competing with the local Japanese market could keep the prices at their current level or higher.

    Being the last of the RB Series, the R34 GTR could very well become an icon like the R32 GTR where a very good condition R32 GTR can still cost up to 4 million yen. Only time will tell I suppose.

    Kind regards

    Adjusting R34 Xenon Headlights

    in General Maintenance

    Posted

    Hey guys,

    I bought a pair of used R34 xenon headlights not too long ago and ive found that the right hand headlight is higher than the left. Does anyone know how i can adjust the headlights so they are at the same height? (I already tried electrically adjusting them via the switch inside the cabin).

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Alan.

    ps. Sorry if this has been covered already.

    Need Help With My Exhaust

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted

    Resonator/muffler or move to qld :D

    Is the noise more rattling or what? have tried to replicate the sound at idle with bonnet up to see where the noise might be coming from? Could be a number of things leaking gasket, loose nut/bolt, wastegate not firm up against the housing, contact between heat shield and dump pipe etc.

    Its more of a crackling sound than a rattle.. Lifted the bonnet up and gave it a rev and its coming from the right side of the engine where the turbo is but im not positive on what it could be. Im thinking it could be a leaking gasket or something.

    Need Help With My Exhaust

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted · Edited by LouLou

    Hey all,

    I really need some help regarding my exhaust.. I currently have a 3inch BOS importing dump pipe which did connect to the exhaust which i have posted in the pictures below (4.5inch tip). Due to EPA i took off the catback and just replaced it with the stock system without changing the dump pipe in order to clear.

    I was just wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction as to how and who could modify my exhaust to make it a reasonable dB without losing too much performance as it is way too loud at the moment.

    One more thing, ever since i got my new dump pipe installed this crackling sound has started.. it has been coming from underneath the car. Used to happen a little bit when i had the stock dump on but now it has gotten worse and i cant seem to get rid of it. It comes when im accelerating at low revs and when i take my foot off the accelerator.. Anyone have any idea what it could be?

    Thanks in advance guys.

    Alan.
