Average [40k] is about right with dealers & resellers, direct imports can be had for as little as 33-35k, though 30k is definately a stretch - that is if you want a 1/2 decent car...

there was also another one that went thru about 3 weeks ago... black... no wing... TURBO... was a 99 model... nice rims and a POD filter and aftermarket front bar and that went for 31k.

Yes, that car had over 90,000 kms on the clock - or perhaps even more? And from memory it was an auto...[cheaper in japan in auto as this is standard manual is optional cost].

no it was a manual and had about 75k on the clock... point is u can get them cheaper by importing...

the 27k R34 GTT was stock... yellow and had about 89 on the clock... it was accident repaired but repaired very well. for 27k i'd get it.

EDIT***

if i had the money at the time that is

no actually it was yellow... got a pic but its too big and i have no editing software here at work.

use windows "Paint!" lol, unless iprimus don't allow it! :(

So you guys reckon there might be something wrong with that GTT R34 for High $30? it has only done 22,000km's and the paint seems pretty intact.. no scratches.. think it is a 99 model..

Nope.

Just make sure you give it a thorough checking, like looking for uneven lines in the panels / bonnet etc, look for welds under the bonnet where the quarter panels meet the engine bay. Also look for resprayed panels - usually lighter or darker than the rest of the car...maybe get an racv report on it. Drive it! And then bargain for it - if you want to that is. Price is quite good, but you can probably knock it down a bit - I bought mine from Ballarat too!

Oh yeah, and ask the seller if its been in an accident!

I am under the impression the car in question [pushead's thread] is in the town of Ballarat.

Cruize down to ballarat today as one of my friend wanted a r34.

$36.5 does seem a touch high. I'm budgeting around $37K for an R34 GT-T which i'm going to import later this year. Just saving at the moment. The only info i've been goin on is the J-Spec auction lists, and average seems to be around 35K, cheaper ones low 30's, more expensives ones around 37-38. I'm trying to find one like the one in my avatar which is going to make things a little more expensive again. Tempted about black at the moment too, coming to join ya nismo!! :D

the silver one looks very nice, really like those wheels. Suit the car real well. There was a private GT-T for sale in Ballarat. Saw it at carpoint.com.au. It was the GTR Purple, looked very, very l337! :) I'll try and find it...

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
