Like with anything, you get what you pay for.

In saying that the general price of these has definately dropped down and they are slowly becoming more affordable.

I think a large reason for this is the huge amount of flock of absolute beat up buckets of crap that come in and get complied from Japan and are palmed off here for 38 - 42k and as a result devaluing the general market.

Your best bet is to be patient and wait for bargains and trust me they do come up as there are alot of sellers atm in desperate situations.

i was looking for about a year and a half.....really wanted one. But in being patient i got myself a really nice stock standard one in a great condition from a guy who just loves them aswel. He had 2 of them and wants a 35 GTR. i knew when i spoke to him about it that he knows the car and loves them as much as i do. which i think is important. once i went for the test drive i was hooked. I'm very happy with it. engine wise it runs very well. body wise its very good. a few scratches on the boot and thats about it. So it pays to be patient.

Just read through this thread and it's interesting to note the increase in price on R34 GTR's at the moment. Looking at carsales they all range between 60k-80k generally. The cleaner, lower KM's are pushing 70k-80k.

But what they are advertised for, and what they sell for are two different stories.

firstly people asking top dollar for nur specs dont seem to be getting anything near what they are asking and therefore the same car is sitting for sale month by month. They are not old classic cars, and will not hold their value what so ever.

Had a chuckle at this comment from a while ago.

* All Imports - gone

* Master Cars - gone

* Xtreme Motorsport - gone

* M & R - gone

* Nagoya - gone

* Dream Cars - gone

* Sports AutoGroup - name change again

* Ginza - going

* Edward Lees - going

...and this is just in Sydney.

Worst examples are thus, being weeded out.

Best examples are in very short supply, because simply, not that many BNR34s were made (due to Nissan's financial problems at the time and R&D in high performance cars in Japan had stalled)!

So what can we glean from this?

Very happy that I picked mine up when I did. I can't see the price dropping anytime soon. Once America get their hands on them they are going to increase even more.

If you check out the auctions in Japan most of the vehicle going for sale are grade R's. Very hard to find ones which are grade 4 or above.

Prices in NZ for a good clean example

R34GTR $50K

R33 GTR $35k

R32GTR $25k

Price doesn't seem to vary much between highly modified and near stock.

But there are lots of exceptions - someone is listing an an R34 in an allegedly rare colour (midnight purple) for $80k and people will list their highly specced pride and joy for huge dollars but I don't think they sell.:

I've been monitoring the price like a dog for 3yrs nonstop from what I've learnt now and 3yrs ago

R32 GT-R now + $5k local

Japan 300,000 Yen average extra due to american import 25 years coming into 2nd gear

R33 GT-R now +$7k local

R34 GT-R now +$15k local across the condition.

But on the auction dramatic reduction in GT-Rs for sale i use too login go window shopping and choose from about 100-250 skylines over a 3 month gap now i go i see up too 40 skyline n now i think only 3 r34 GT-R up for grabs.

Unfortunately when ill be ready to buy 3yrs from now i will have to have deep pockets for a nice r34 vspec 2 with nice extras

Bit more then £45k for a mines built 2.8ltr currently on offer [emoji26] [emoji27] :(

Happy to see my predictions were correct ;)

Just seen on Iron Chef's FB page that a grade 4.5A M-Spec Nur just sold for 11 million yen at auction. Car had around 5,000km on the clock.

Crazy prices.

Start saving!

Just out of interest and to give you an idea if you are in the market for a R34 GTR Nur, whether it be a V-Spec II Nur or M-Spec Nur

This car would have been around $80K - $90K landed in AUS the most.

A V-Spec II Nur was once purchased off Powerplay Imports Gladesville at the end of 2002 for $170,000.

The ups and downs of the market need to be treated with caution.

Does this make #9 Z-Tune cheap at $510,000?

Or is the #1 Z-Tune at $700,000+ too expensive?

Looking back to 6 months ago, that R34 GTR V-Spec N1 was a good buy.

A year ago, that R32 GTR V-Spec II N1 at $150,000 was ridiculously expensive. But now? The trend line I agree, is on heat.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
