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

Nur.jpg

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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
