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.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
