So much to write about my car, but comes down to the fact that i think it might be time to go, looking into some sort of convertible, either porsche boxster or beema.

anyway hoepfully people can give me some rough prices on what theyd be willing to pay if they were looking for a r34 gtt.

specs (most likely missed a shitload of stuff but people will get the hint) also apologies if everything is jumbled up im just typing as i think of specs.

2000 r34 gtt

original bomex body kit (not sure about the rear bar, might be from a gtr or similar)

work 17" rims (not sure which ones exactly)

kei office coilover suspension

lsd diff ( id say 1.5 way but not entirely sure)

pod

power fc

ebc (greddy)

greddy fmic

4 defi gauges

recaro bucket seat

injectors

fuel pump

oil catch can

hks bov

trust oil cooler

nismo led taillights

twin plate clutch

kenwood dvd/mp3 player

hks turbo timer

im sure theres way way more, but il add as i go when i remember other stuff.

and probably the best feature of the car is only roughly 30,000kms with service books to prove.

Actually went to japan to find myself a car so all the mods where done there etc. The car was prob ready for some drift work if it hasnt done any already but then again with 30,000 kms you wouldnt think its done to much if any.

I for one am definetely no drift king so never ever attempted to but i assume with a decent aftermarket turbo this thing will be great on the track or as a daily.

some pics here: (bear in mind i did take the large drift wing of and put a nismo spoiler on it, ive changed the steering wheel back to stock and when taking the pics i was changing the oil catch can hence why the neo cover is of)

also these pics are from when i just bought it in japan ( not to long ago as i havent been driving it for no more than 6 months)

No way you'll get much more nowadays mate.

It may be worth more, but it's a buyers market and people are selling very cheap nowadays.

Plus that wing is worth about -$5000

haha yeh its been changed, could be worth some quid though its c-west.. a more recent pic at my house

I'd suggest (like some others on here) getting your car as close to stock as possible....especially exterior / looks-wise.

It looks like you've spent a good deal of time and money customizing your ride to fit your preferences, but realize that your specific taste is just that, YOUR specific taste. Other people might have different tastes, so you're limiting your potential customers by selling a modified vehicle. Even if you drove this car like a grandma for the past year, I'd see something like this and think it's led a tough life. Still, I've heard of private sellers selling 33 GTS-T's for $25,000....so I'd say $27,000 might be within your reach, just depends on how long you want to hold on to it.

anyways, good luck on the sale, I imagine we'd sell something like this for around $23,000 (stock standard version, not your specific vehicle, since we only sell stock cars) so that's something to think about.

cheers,

david @ carizma

yeh thanks for the help guys, im not in no big rush to sell it. And cos its only done 30,000 i guess it would be pretty attractive if it was in stock form. And some of the parts would be worth some decent cash (defi gagues and power fc)

we'l see how things go cos i really dont have time/cant be bothered sourcing out stock parts as replacements and advertising all the a/m goods but if it comes down to gettin the right price overall then il consider it.

cheers

Thats the problem with many pple, they buy the car, do it up, spend shit loads on it then decide to sell it for number of reasons (cant afford it, want another car etc). I say keep it or place an ad with your desired price and dont budge, eventually you may get the right buyer.

  • 1 month later...

Anywhere from 22k-28k, its a buyers market and you'll find out if the price is too much.

On a side note, if its too cheap many people think there is something wrong with it and dont want to have a look. The only reason i say this is i have a spare r33 gtst manual which i originally wanted to flog off for 12k, thinking that the price was reasonable, i barely got 2 calls in a month. A mate just sold his for 17k, so i up my price to 16k and i've been getting shitloads of calls and its sold pending the finance going through, weird huh?

anyway goodluck with the sale, and those rims are work meisters s2r's :laugh:

Its only worth as much as someone wants to pay for it.

Not trying to be harsh but normally when we price cars we try to give it a fair price based on condition, age, mods etc. and most of the time we rate our cars on the higher end of the scale.

But the reality is that buyers dont want to pay what its worth, they want a bargain. And it depends how long you want to wait as to what price to sell it at. Personally I'd prefer to lose a bit of money in order to sell it and move on, but its up to the seller.

You gain money (sometimes a lot) if you wait, and you gain time if you price it low.

Remember when using the online listings as an indicator of price, that the cars are online because they HAVEN'T sold yet...so you cant always take the listed prices as a good indication of the market.

Good luck with it though...I'm actually selling my car at the moment too.. (shameless plug)....so I know how fun it is...

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
