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:

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
