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 - 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.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
