Hey all,

What does everyone think would be a fair price for a good condition , late model vspec2, low km (under 50,000), stock - light modded R34 GTR?

Prices vary so much on carsales 40k-70k?

How can the prices vary so much?

is under 50,000km going to be legit for a 6-8 year old car? how can I tell.

can anyone give me tips/signs what to look for, or what goes first in r34's

I would greatly appreciate any help.

mate of mine is looking into a v-spec 2 at the moment. has been keeping his eyes open for bout 6 weeks. He is expecting to spend $65-70K. Best way to tell with k's is the general condition of the car, wear on gearknob n steer wheel, paint obviestly. A well looked after 34gtr with 50,000k's should pretty much look like new mate. As for what goes first, they are nearly every enthusiasts ultimate ride. Not much goes wrong with em

All your questions have been answered before many times on this forum, use the search button.

Its difficult to sell, this may make the price lower, it may be a bad car (test it).

50K for 6-8 years, 6.5-8K / year. Do you think that's realistic?

Ive grown up around alot of r33 gtr's , r34gtr's. from my experiences i have found that a good price for a under 50000km r34 gtr is about 58,000. and a r34 v spec about 63,990. but dude your question is so hard to answer because like.. a good price for a gtr r34 v spec with under 50000km..well in short dont pay less then 40g for a r34 gtr.. or theres probably sompthin wrong with it.. especially if its a v spec ( ive grown up with about 8 gtr's )

champ

real low km GTR34 V2 around 5 million yen~6 million yen in japan

i guess you need pay around 75g~85g for it

average GTR34 V2 with 100000km+ around 60g~70g

champ... you pay for what you get.

don't get cheap GTR34

not worth to get average car.

:D

My vspec 2 was 65k in perfect condition; thats a good price for one possibly up to 70k.

basically if its cheap, theres something wrong.

low km gtr's in japan go for 4.5-5.5 million yen in japan.

plenty of 99 models are much cheaper but the interior is terrible colour.

cheers mate appreciate the offer, however I'm in qld.

Everyone is saying don't get a cheapie, how can you be sure an expensive one isn't sh*T?

Is it best to buy 2nd hand from someone in aust, or buy directly from japan?

I imported mine with genuine kms and full service history for less than 45 grand and it's a 99 V-Spec. It's a clean, zero accident, 1 owner car. Although she had a few scratches, most of it could be polished out. Only detriment of buying from Japan is that you dont get to see before you buy. I had to rely on a guy who looked over the car before I bidded on it.

In the end it worked out pretty well i think.

But there's so many ppl trying to sell their BNR's here that you'd be silly to import one these days, especially when the yen has hit a 3 year low of about 83. If i bought my car today, it wouldve costed about 6-7 grand more. So dont ignore the local market as there's certainly good buys.

I am also looking for an R34 GTR. A few I like are interstate and are modified which I prefer.

I would take the car you selelct to a mechanic that services/ modifies a lot of GTRs. i would ask them to go over everything anally. Ask them to give you a qoute on what they say needs changing.

Leading Question:- Do you know someone who can read Japanese???

Wise SAUers tell us that a Grade 4 or even 4.5 is not such a reliable indicator anymore, on that Auction sheet.

But whilst you're 'Literate in Japanese' friend can match up the last service entry (in the log book) with the odo reading on the auction paper, you'll have a better chance of accuracy.

Regardless of whether or not you buy from Japan or here, it's still 'Caveat Emptor' = buy at your own risk.

When I inspected my current R34, my wife (fluent in Chinese and Japanese) did background checks whilst 2 mechanics looked over the hardware. I couldn't believe that the car had done only 16700Km. There was tell-tale damage to the LHS, but it was repaired to perfection and no rust. In 2 years, I've only had to replace an oil pump and front rotors/pads.

Hope this helps as well as other good SAU posts I see...

Tez :P

Yeh; especially if it has an egg in it. Feel short-changed otherwise... lol

Back to you Sean. Sorry for digressing...

Yes it is possible to get a bargain. But you have to go over it with a 'fine tooth comb'. And what better place to do that than in Oz.

My car?

Purchased in '06. Grade 4 with 16,700Km and cross-checked with Japanese service-entry in the log book + state of seats, carpet etc

all like new - still is with 28,000Km on the clock now.

Yr 2000 Model (black pearl) - Costed $55K and it came with...

i) HKS F-Con Pro-V ECU

ii) HKS Cams

iii) HKS Induction pipes, pods

iv) Blitz DSBC

v) APEXi RMS

vi) Blitz TT

vii) Sharp TV

viii) GTR plush carpet rugs

ix) HKS exhaust piping

x) Trust rear muffler/tip

I've added lots of other things but they aren't relevant.

Yes it's possible to get a bargain. It has given me not one ounce of trouble except the oil pump.

REMEMBER THE FINE TOOTH COMB Sean. All the best mate.

champ

i will import one direct from japan.

mate of mine bought R34GTR v-spec with 35000km from vic.

car been checked by work shop in vic.

he went pick the car up. 3 months later. engine got problem.

cost him 9g to repair.

but i guess.it's your choice

good luck champ

tha

look at beer baron's GTR if you're worried about a dud.. you can't go wrong with buying his one

lol, :rofl: yes buy mine! it really is a nice genuine car with service history etc and no secrets! and considering the AUD has just wiped about 20% of it's value off against the yen the cost of importing a car has just gone up by a big amount. I'm keen to sell too, and you get to see, touch and maybe even drive it before expending a single cent. :)

hows ur schedule just go to japan and have a look, if u got that much money to spend why not invest a drop in the ocean to find the perfect car u should be able to find 1 in a day if u plan where to go first, well thats wat id do-f*k i wanna live in japan

Considering the current strength of the Aussie dollar against the yen (quite bad at the moment), looking locally makes sense, just make sure you get the car mechanically checked otherwise it may have mechanical problems you will find out about later.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
