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.

exactly

this is pretty typical of this forum ..confusing resale price for whats available "off the plan"

of course j spec prices are "approximate" and of course no one goes thru the bullshit of importing/compliance etc and then sells the car for what it cost :)

and try not to forget that only a few people have the nuts to spend 25k on a unseen car ..couple of pics and importer assurances ,the majority of buyers want to kick the tyres and have the car inspected by the "mate thats a mechanic "

so 30k for a good manual coupe that is allready here.. rego etc is a real price IMO

You have to remember some of the cheaper R34 are coming up on 8 years old now, so the price seems to be coming down a little in Japan. For a later one (i.e. a good 01 or 02 car) the prices are quite a few $k higher from what I have investigated.

But then again, what does that say for the age of R33's or gasp, R32's :) We're dealing with pretty old cars these days.

If I was in the market for that sort of car I'd pay high 20's for sure, or probably up to around $32k as it has a few nice mods. You also have to look across to the current value of the S15 to get a bit of an idea. Which is a better car for the money, that's another debate :blink:

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
