hi all,

i will buy an r35gtr as for me its only a matter of time - im in love with it (just like my r32gtr)

anyway - for any nostradamus out there how many yrs will it be when they sell in the 2nd hand market for less than 100k?

this is when i'll be ready to buy 1...looking back at the r34gtr's it probably took a good 5yrs when they hit the 90k mark

regards,

it really depends on how many are sold and what the demand is like on the second hand market. and seeing as there are only limited amounts being sold it means that its gonna be a while before they break the 100k mark.

probably similar results to when the r32gtr was sold back in 91 as an aust delivered car

my mate paid 65k for 1 back in 98 with 50000km very clean/stock (i.e. as a 7yr old car) then i bought it for 40k in 05

yeah it will take a while. but they are worth the wait. :P I think the fact that there wont be many more (any?) grey imports, and the fact that nissan aus will only be able to supply very limited numbers means the prices will stay up there. for my mind the bargain R35 GTR in the next 5 years will be a grey import JDM model with low kms. they will always be some $ below the aus delivered ones (unless the aus ones are watered down/restricted in some way, in which case the JDM ones will be worth about the same).

in 5 times time you would hope a JDM model with say 40,000kms will be around the $100-$120K mark. just have to wait and see really. but hey, if gives some time for you to use that $100K somewhere and make more money with it. :P

Another GT-R now for sale on carsales. A beautiful Gun Metallic. Looks likes there's going to be a healthy supply of the GT-R available, both JDM and ADM cars. If these guys are struggling to get 150K for these JDM cars new (assuming this price includes everything except transfer stamp duty) and the ADM cars are going for 175k (approx) on road, it will be interesting to see how the 2nd hand market pans out over the next 18 months to 2 years.

I watched the supercar doco on the 35GTR on national geographic and i think they are making 40,000 a year to be sold worldwide..... Thats a hell of a lot for a supercar. Total of 200,000 worldwide if they are manufactured for 5 years. Does anyone know if there were more or less earlier GTR's made per year. If it was a lot more then you would expect them to depreciate at a slower rate.. If its approx the same then depreciation "should" be approx the same as previous.

The only thing is these will be sold by Nissan Australia so expect Aus delivered ones to depreciate slower and be more valuable in the future aswell. I think once Nissan release them at say 150k then no import yard is going to be able to sell a second hand one for the same price. Imports might come down 30k off the bat. If I had 130k to spend on a second hand GTR... I'd make sure i had 150k to buy a new one with warranty.

R33 GTR's were around the 40-60k mark for years and years while 34's sat at 90k then all of a sudden down to the mid 20k range and 34's down to 40-60k. R32 GTR's can be had now from 15-25 as most people on here would know. Could u imagine the R35 GTR going for 15 grand? It would be cheaper to buy another than to pay Nissan prices for spares.

Just to add... Nothing much has come out of Japan and fill an import yard aside from Evo's, WRX's and S15's in a newish state since '02. The GTR's, Supra's, RX7's, GTiR Pulsar's and the sorts are all a thing of the past when u think about it. All pushing 10-15 years old. Even a later model JZX100 chaser is 10 years old now and can be had for under 20 grand. Now with the flood of "new imports" to australia like the Aristo, Legnum/VR4 TT for example prices have dropped drastically. The GTR is the latest and only thing to be of any great significance to come out of Japan. This may be used as an excuse to keep Import prices a little higher but who is going to take the risk to save 20k on a car worth 150k?

5yrs, might pick up a good buy at $90k with 60th on the clock

7yrs Dec 2015 Id say a 100,000km used R35 GTR might be ~$65k

here's hoping... but of course thats relative to the current economic climate

well nissan aust only bought in a handful of 32 gtr's to australia, and you can now by gtr's here for like 15 grand. So there is no way the car is going to hold it's value that well. It's a freaking nissan not a buggati for christs sake.

nissan will make trillions of the f**king things the way americans eat that shit up, look how cheap all older gtr's are.

Just slightly off-thread...

Can I suggest that the R35 GT-R 'Price Forecast' title be switched to 'Value Forecast' on the basis that 'Recent Price Paid' may not correspond with 'Rated Value' ie. an XU-1 Torana 'price' to-day will have no reflection on its 'value' in 5 years time.

The point I'm making is that with the numbers of R35 GT-Rs on the world market in 5 years time, this number and therefore 'value' will be subject to...

i) age-threshhold R35s having to be sold off in Japan and then exported

ii) age and model of the R35 in question

iii) Kms travelled

iv) condition

v) exclusivity of model type

After taking points i)-iv) into account, I can't see the 'value' of a standard R35 GT-R being any greater than

a) a R34 GT-R Z-Tune

b) a R34 GT-R V-Spec II Nur N1 or even

c) a R32 Australian Version GT-R (a WA one at present 'valued' at $55K, but what it sells for, I do not know)

Analogy:- The value of an M3 BMW continues to go south. A low Km, non-raced, non-modified M3 'CSL' value remains stable.

Interesting analogy (exclusivity of model variant), but bad choice in cars :D

When I purchased my M3 in 2006, I could have purchased a similar year model CSL for EXACTLY the same price.

Exclusivity is one thing, but application and associated practicality is another. The CSL is PURELY a track car. Nothing else. Fixed bucket seats, no sat nav, no television, compressed CARDBOARD BOOT FLOOR ( :D ), no sunroof, etc etc....

It has an EXTREMELY TINY target market, and the low price they go for reflects this.

I understand and agree with your analogy, but bad choice in example :D

fact that nissan aus will only be able to supply very limited numbers means the prices will stay up there.

Off-topic:

So does that mean Nissan Australia will not be getting full volume and grey imports are possible in near future? because as far as i know. full volume is unlimited supply but they are only bringing in 33 cars per year?

I can't see it being below $100K.

I base that on the fact that the R34 GTR was released in 1999 and in 2004 they were still fetching well over $100K. It's taken 10 years for the R34 values to come right down and they have really only started coming down fast since the R35 came out.

For all we know in 2013 they will still be selling this vehicle new in the same guise especially given over half the world doesn't even have access to this car yet - so I can't see a current selling model going for 50% off RRP just because it's 2nd hand.

It's a totally different story to 5 years AFTER they stop making it. Then I can see figures around or below $80K.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
