The price of 34's have dropped so much in the past 6 months.. my rego has almost expired and i'm considering trading my auto 34 gt-t for a manual. My car is completely stock, except for a kenwood LCD head-unit, clean car. 90k klms.

I've seen some good manual 34's with exhaust, FMIC plus other mods for around 26 - 27k. How much do you reckon i cud get for my car in a trade-in? How hard is it to get a dealer to reduce their advertised price? or do they usually not budge?

thanks.

yeah its a sad state when u see the prices drop to what they are today compared to a year ago. I tried asking an import dealer what mine was worth as a trade a couple months back and they offered me 15K max..(99 GTT Auto with around 70ks).

They would obviously try and flog it for 25k if they got it and make a tidy profit. Try selling privately if you're not desperate, you won't lose as much.

Say have you enquired about a conversion to manual?

I'm not worried about losing my car. When i first got my car it was a real bargain.. that's why i got the auto but i think now it's not worth converting. Rego for me will cost close to $1000 (my CTP is like 560) and i was planning an exhaust for another 1000. I've always wanted a manual so if i had to trade i wouldn't mind paying up to 5k on top. There are some real bargains with some basic mods already done.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
