IMO the modifications do not really add much "value" to the car... if anything they will just help "retain" the initial value.

So say you've paid $30k for the purchase price, added another $5k in mods, then you should get $30k for the car after 1-2 years of driving.

I know a guy on here who purchased a immaculate R34GTT with no mods whatsoever (99 model with 20,000kms) for $23k

That's just my opinion.

n15m0 seems to be on the money here!

$23K?!!??...that's a steal! Manual or Auto? But with 20,000kms; sounds a little sus?

the klms are completely bullsh8t a 20k manual still sells for 23k in japan !

8 SKYLINE - Manual 5 Speed 23,000km black 4 1,595,000YEN

1998 SKYLINE 2D GT TURBO Manual 5 Speed 23,000km black 45AA 1,685,000YEN

1998 SKYLINE 4D 25GT X Auto Transmisson 24,000km pearl 5 1,206,000YEN

1998 SKYLINE 2D GT TURBO Manual 5 Speed 26,000km black 4A 1,835,000YEN

1998 SKYLINE - Manual 5 Speed 27,000km black 4 1,615,000YEN

some recent auction prices above ...the 4d 25gtx was a non turbo

Agreed - there's no way a genuine 20,000km manual R34 would sell for less than 1.5 million FOB in Japan at current prices.

My first piece of advice is that forums are notoriously hard on prices. If I took advice in here, I would've sold my S2 R33 for $15K - instead I went with what I thought it was worth retail, and got $19K for it...

I'd be advertising at $30K in Unique Cars.

you would be better off removing some of the mods and selling the car stock...if u had a look at some of the prices Jspec are bringing them in for nowadays...makes u wanna cry for some one who has purchased their 34 in the past year or 2...

But guys, you're not answering his question.

He's not asking what we can buy them for, he's asking what he can sell his for.

There's a big difference, and there are plenty of people out there who buy R34s that aren't on J-Spec's mailing list.

The answers are pretty much all in there. And there's no right or wrong answer. He can sell his for 30k by all means but whether or not people will BUY it at that price is another story.

Yes, not everyone buys from Jspec but thats just an example of what is available out there. I purchased mine for 32k a year and a half ago, auto, turbo, 36ks on the clock...

Since then I have learnt a lot more about these cars and what they go for now. If I were to buy another one today, I would definately not pay 30k for it again, knowing whats out there.

otherwise termed "suckers"

anyone who doesnt research a car before buying is just stupid

p.s.

i was going to say, sub 25k

importers for 22-25k

havent looked around much lately but basically they were on the 5k+ more than s2 33's

There are very few people who don't do research these days.

But particularly in the case of older owners, they don't know about import websites and mailing lists. They check the Unique Cars information which says that R34s are just coming down under $30K in recent times.

Like I said, he's not asking what YOU would spend on one - he's asking what they sell for, and I know for a fact that there are still plenty of R34s like the one he has selling closer to $30K. It doesn't matter whether other people are buying them at $23K - what matters is that someone will buy HIS for $30K.

Don't let prices from importers do your head in - there are still people prepared to pay good money for R34s.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
