$18,000. not a fan of the kit, or interior, or the uber cool t-wing (!)
lmaoooo

but hey thanks for the honesty

Don't worry about him daniel. He is one of those fellas that thinks R33 looks the most sick out of all the skylines.

I'd reckon you can get mid 20s for your car as most of the buyers don't 'value' the mods done to the car but considering it's a 2000 model, you might get a bit more.

Good luck ;)

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.

<snip>

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)

thanks heaps guys

Everyone is different, by personally I think you'd be better off trying to get it visibly back to stock as much as possible.

If I was a potential buyer (and I was, only 6 weeks ago), those aftermarket gauges, seats, steering wheel and rear wing would put me off immediately. Better to return it as close to stock as possible and sell off the aftermarket stuff seperately.

Value? Probably 25K tops - I paid $22K for a just complianced 2000 model GTT 6 weeks ago in VG cond - and that's from a dealer.

Dont forget the market over here in the WEST :D

People tend to buy skylines at higher prices as less of them around.

Economic stuff less competition etc....

So advertise online.. carsales etc, and let them know that you dont mind send interstate at buyers expense...

30 000km mileage with proof of KMS is pretty good for a skyline.. knowing most of them have been changed!

also you can never expect to get a return on mods of a car

they are simply just not worth much/anything to a buyer

in any case, a stock car would probably fetch more than a highly modded one

so if anything i would sell as many mods as you can

or maybe even think about writing less in the add at least

"R34, with few mods, zaust, cooler, gauges"

Sorry to say mate but i would't buy the car because for me the Pro wings they just don't look right... But thats just me... Good luck with the sale if u sell but i would say it is hard to make a price just have to look in ur area and price to suit and condition of car.....

Frankly, you can get a fairly clean stock manual R34 GT-T 2 doors imported directly from Japan now for under 17.5k landed and complied.

Your car seems to be above average, so probably add 1-2k on top of it in stock condition. Sell the aftermarket parts separately.

Put it up on Carsales at a higher price and then reduce it a little every 1-2 weeks, and after a few weeks you'll get a realistic idea of how much it's actually worth on the market. You'll never know when you're gonna get lucky.

Just my 2c

yeh thanks for the input guys, havent had a chance to advertise it as yet, but once i give it a good clean il chuck it up on carsales, probably advertise it with all the mods now, and maybe a higher price, but if that dosent work out il have to consider getting rid of the a/m parts seperately and flog the car of in stock for hopefully for low 20's

and if i get a few grand back in mods than il be happy

If you're looking to sell the power fc let me know :(

And what kind of boxster are you looking at??? DO NOT get an older one and make sure its an 'S'..... or you will regret it big time.

haha yeh ive heard a few bad things about them of late which has kind of turned me of, but if im going to get one it'l have to be something fairly newer, but also went to see a r34gtr the other day along with a 350z convertible, so still in the market for anything really, but maybe more heading towards something convertible..

  • 2 weeks later...
  • 2 weeks later...

im going to c a black 99 r34 gtt next week. its a freshly imported car and if i purchase i will be the first owner in australia.

pretty much the same mods even the same recaro lol but with out the power fc and that is asking 23,000 landed and complied (obviously not incl reg etc)

but black is a nicer color to me and i will always pay a lil more for black lol

i reckon on carsales u could probz get 25k for this puppy. its clean as and the k's are indicative of a well looked after car.

ive personally sold 3 cars in the last 12 months and i usually got 3-4 grand less than what i advertised for

my 32gtr - i got 15,500

my lexus ls400 - 12,000 (it had like 300k on the clock lol)

my 200sx 10,000

if ur happy to let them go a lil cheaper then generally u will move them quick

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
