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.

Edited by CWest
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

  • 2 weeks later...

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 .

    • 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.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
