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!

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 - 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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
