This is for the benefit of those still sending me pm's for a swap.

I advertised the car when I lost my licence and the yen was favourable. The plan was to sell for $50,000 and buy back at $40,000. Thankfully it didnt sell, the yen changed, the cars are coming in for $65,000-$70,000.

I now have my licence back and will not be letting the car go for less than its worth. The price for cash is $50,000 or $55,000 for a trade. The $5,000 buffer is what I expect to lose when I sell your car.

If you dont like it, pay cash. I have since aquired a brand new genuine C West bodykit, front and rear bars, skirts, eye lids and vented bonnet. The kit will be going on soon, and the price will adjust accordingly.

By all means inquire about the car, just remember the trade rule and dont get offended. Aside from Twoogle and King 180, I havent really been tempted by any other R32's. I cant register Twoogle in Vic and King 180 and I come couldnt come to arrangements. Unless your 32 is up to the standard of these 2 cars, I wont pay more than $20,000, you always have the option of selling first.

The C West kit is also available till I fit it. The cost is $5,000.

Thankyou to all that have inquired

All pm's replied. There is no point putting the value of your car up by $10,000 then reducing mine by $5000 and hoping I'll swap, I'm not desperate, I have my licence back, all reasonable offers considered in terms of trade in. Sorry to those I've knocked back, but swap places, would you swap if you had the 34 ?

Well I just looked at an R32 GTR with a skull climbing out of the dash, so I will look at anything.

Send pics to [email protected] if you like.

Cheers

I can confirm this car is a perfect example of a stock R34 GTR, super neat and clean. It never gets driven as the owner states which is a real shame.

i can confirm the above statement, but i am assuming it now gets driven haha

There is nothing wrong with your price whilst it's in perfect cond.

JapLink Motors in Sydney has been having trouble selling a R34 GT-R for months until last week because...

i) market went deadish over Christmas

ii) the Y went north c.f. AU$

iii) ppl are holding off on cars exceeding $40K thinking that they'll come down

Now that you've got your licence back, drive your R34 more and even come up to the R34 GT-R 10th ANNIV Event!

Already have interest from TAS as well as ACT.

I have been driving the car more often, but alas, I work from home. I am always looking for a chance to get out there, but its alot of money sitting there not being used.

I have had some enquiries today about trade ins. I understand that very few people have that kind of money to throw away on toys, and the fact is I'm going to replace the car if it sells, that is why I am so easy going in regards to trades.

Some see this as there is something wrong with my car lol, just come see. By taking a trade in, I solve 2 problems for me and 2 for the new buyer. As long as the car is clean and interesting, I will have a look, the worst I can say is no thankyou.

I'm waiting for pics now.

As far as going to a car show, no time sorry, I am flat out with my gym business, no time off, 7 days a week.

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
