I wasnt planning on selling my r34, but iv got a guy on my back to buy it.

He has offered me $25k as is, which i think is a good price?

Im also thinking, if i sell it, i have to buy something else...and i have no idea what!!

Iv always been a skyline driver/owner and cant really imagine seeing myself behind the wheel of another car...but im open to all options now..maybe its time for a change lol

...thats if i can bring myself to let go

do u guys think 25k is a decent price? If it was your R34, would u sell it or keep it? and if u sold it, what would you get..?

i no ur all prob thinking, its ur car so do what u want, but im jst asking for ideas

Help

Dunno how much you have done to it and it does look very nice, but I say move on and update!

If it is relatively stock, $25k is a great price.

You could get a v35 GT-8 for $25k. Much nicer car.

unless you are running a big turbo and a bunch of other gear then I reckon its a good price... 25K will get you into a lot of other cars at the moment...

but the standard question is what do you need a new car for (getting to work, only on the weekends, as a track car etc)? What do you plan on doing with it (keeping it standard, taking it to shows, modding it for max power, being individual etc)

if your car does all the things you need/want it to why change?

see how desperate this person is... ask for $30K and see what response you get

$25K sounds good.

But I quite like your car, you haven't had it for very long, its very clean, got all the nice add on parts and are you only wanting to sell it only cuz you got offered a decent price?

If you do, get a R32 or R33 GTR. Hehe!!

are you finished with the car? or do you still have things planned for it?

if you get another car how far will you go with it?

would you use that 25k to buy a car that someone else has already done up or are you a do it from scratch type?

i wouldn't wanna start all over again on my car... maybe one day i'll get an R and start over but not for a while.... i plan on enjoying the gtst for a while first.

my point being if your not desperate to sell and they are on your back to buy it... see how far they will go to get it... maybe they have more money than sense ;)

yes but many a silly man before you has done that and lost a lot more than 5k ;)

I know a number of people that could be 20k+ better off selling @ the right time and offer

I was gonna ask the same thing.. you have only had this car for a short amount of time. Why do you want to sell it already?.. have you got your license back?. Anyhoo, If I were to Sell my R34 now. Id Buy a black Nissan Navara ST-X and turn it into a beast.

If you have lost the urge to drive it or you feel like the car is just there to get you around, then sell it.

But if you love driving it still and enjoy having it in your driveway then you'll be mad to sell it.

It has caused you a fair bit of grief and hardship, when you imported it, but now it's an awesome car and has only just recently seen the road.

Are YOU ready to let it go so soon?

i reckon sell ferah as that is a pretty good price...but if you still want a coupe i reckon keep it as it is one of the nicest gtt's around..otherwise buy an evo!!! they are hot, practical, have heaps of space, plenty of mods available and are fast stock.

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
