In japan it's not hard to find a r33 GTR for $25k - and that's from a dealership.

r32 GTR can be had for under $10k - but that sort of car is not one I would want

r34 GTR are still a little pricey - but the high australian $ makes them look pretty cheap these days. The higher spec models remain high, to import, as they tend to get slapped with luxury tax on top of the usual extras - due to their price bracket.

This is why I would never buy a GT-T r34 - if resale price was something I cared about. But I guess recent 33 pricing, gives an indication of how quick things change.

I still believe you get what you pay for, meaning u'd need a solid $40k for a good condition R33 GTR and a good $35k for an R34 GT-T.

Hopefully in a year i'll be able to find either 1 of the above to buy.

Err, guys? Have any of you used Ebay before? That is the starting price, not the Buy It Now price. Once word gets out there will be bids. I would be very surprised if it didn't go for at least a few grand more than that.

Either way, I think Ebay is a stupid way to sell such an expensive car. You have such a tiny window of opportunity, which means that people that would genuinely pay a lot more for what the car sells at the final price just can't put a bid in because they can't come up with the cash in such short notice.

Even if this car sells for the minimum price, that is in no way an indication of the car's true value. The buyer could easily then take his time and sell it for closer to $38-40k. At $34k I think it would be an ideal investment.

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
