G'day people,

I've searched (obviously not hard enough) as to what an R34 GT-T would be worth these days.

From what I've seen in person these days, I've seen heaps of rubbish. I'm very picky.

Not sure what I need to spend to find a clean, non-accident vehicle.

Can anybody help me or steer me in the right direction? Is there anybody that I can go and see to try finding one for me?

Any help would be appreciated. (Don't slam me if this is a question that has been asked 10000 times :P ) This will be my first import and I don't really feel like blowing 20k or so on something thats going to give me major headaches from word go.

Thanks!

Well IMHO most of the tempting priced one are normally the early 98 models which means they're now 10 years old, done close to 100,000km or even more and very much modified or abused by previous owner in Japan.

If you're really picky you either need to look at late R34 model, perhaps 2001 or 2002, which are still a 6 yrs old vehicle when you think of it, but these should have better conditions than average. Remember that GT-T is not GT-R, so they are cheap in Japan and therefore the Japanese owners may not respect them as much as we do here because we have to pay more to get them.

I've now seen early R34 GT-T dips below $20k although as I wasn't looking for one I wouldn't know what they would look like in flesh. But if they're cheap, more likely they're in worse condition.

Hmm. Decisions decisions... I might hunt around carsales and what not and get a feel for what's out there. At the end of the day it will always be cheaper to import as opposed to buying local yes?

Arghh. Don't worry I'll get there hopefully! Thanks for the info bud.

I got my R34 GTT Sedan on the road for $15K. It's a 1998 model. Reasonable km's, a small amount of tasteful mods, immaculate bar a couple of paint macthing issues on the rear end (it's been de-winged) and the most spotless interior of any 10 year old car ever. It's just freakin' immaculate. It was well worth the wait.

I got mine for a simular price, they are around you just have to look around and be patient and you will find one they are getting cheap now and it is just a matter of time before you find one, I personly would not spend more than 18 to 19 grand on a series 1 unless it had some tastful mods and be smick as and dont beleave the 98 models that say they have 45 000 kms on them unless they have a full service record from Japan.

All the best

Cheers Andrew.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
