I have a manual black R34GT with an original Cwest Body kit as well.

When I put it up for sale next month I will probably ask between 23-25K as well I dont think I could realistically get more for it.

I'd say 22K is a good deal.

It all depends.

All I know is that sedans are much cheaper

Silver ones are cheaper

Autos are cheaper

Probably the rarest and most exp would be a black manual couple, ~35k

Prices are still relatively high for a 5-7 year old car.

You may be able to find a good one for low 30k mark.

Some are at high 20's also.

Why is it that silver ones are cheaper? Not a popular colour, or just a very common colour?

silver was the colour of preference when R34's were made (and to a certain extent, still is). So there's a lot of silver R34's to choose from at various prices. The ones people choose to get are the cheaper ones. Hence Silver R34's are cheaper.

Everyone loves stan's metrosexually pink (or was it thalmon... sorry salmon) R34 :P

Those who were interested in this bargain priced R34 GT-T coupe will be pleased to know that our first customer couldn't raise the money yet so the car is still available.

We have already had the car inspected by an independent mechanic so we have a detailed report of condition and more than 120 extra photos ... overall the car was reported to be in very good condition and well worth the price.

The additional photos can be viewed online at http://www.j-spec.com.au/clients/index.php?ID=4957 and details of the report can be emailed to anyone interested.

from what i've seen it's the people in japan who wind back the kms prior to auction. you cant blame it on aussie dealers, or even jap exporters. I see heaps of cars up for auction at the various houses that have questioned kms. from what i understand it's like this. you have a grade 3C skyline with 160 000kms, take that exact same car, now wind the kms back from 160K to just 60K and all of a sudden your grade 3C car is now a grade 3.5C which may encourage more aggressive bidding, particularly by people who dont bother inspecting cars in person, just relying on sheets and grades.

More often than not cars in Japan with questioned kms are due to having aftermarket speedo fitted .. also most auctions houses cut the grade down when they suspect it has altered or incorrect kms.

On the other side of the coin we catch export agents, other Australian importers and car dealers winding back km's on cars all the time .. I strongly believe that most winding back is done by exporters and/or local dealers once the cars arrive in Australia.

I've noticed that dealers are asking anywhere from 32 - 38k for stock manual 34s with mabey a set of rims.

What they ask and what they get are 2 different things .

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
