Just Sold My R34 Gtr

[Duncan1]

I dont know if many of you have experienced this but this is the second time i have sold a car that i truly loved!

Yesterday a guy from Sydney came up and put a deposit on my car, he was one of 4 serious enquiries generated by carsales in a week[not the forum sadly]. I thought at the time that it was a good thing!

I think i might be wrong! It all happened so quickly once i put it on carsales.

Looking at it this afternoon made me feel a little strange, like i was breaking up with a girl i really really liked! She [gtr now!] looked beautiful, better than ever and i knew she was someone elses!

Now i question whether i have a place on this Website! i can hear it already [that guy doesnt even have a skyline!] lol. I Just want to let you know this is a temporary thing!

I didnt drive my car often but when i did it was magnificant... I like to romanticise that i have now "set the car free" given it a new home that will no doubt give it more use. i hope he looks after her, i hope he doesnt subject her to bad things like neons or chrome wheels! I hope she can sing all the way to the 8,000 rpm redline!

Im gonna miss herl!

So with your kind permisssion i will still be lurking around my favorite sight, silently hoping that Nur's drop below 60k! then bang, Im back!!

lol it sounds like your just suffering from Separation Anxiety .

thats strange, ive seen at carsales a large number of R34 GT-Rs for sale....MOSTLY V-spec 1...which are around $48,000 - 55,000$

then how much did you sell it for, if you dont mind us asking?

and why?

[N1GTR]

Yeah i agree with Moei, that one was a keeper.

Hey mate, it has been a while

Dont think the new owner is a member, tells me he also has a 450awkw r32 gtr which in the future will be the motor that goes in the 34. It was a beautiful car and will be sadly missed. Have you still got your 2?

Just saw your avatar, 35 coming!?!?! Nice one Moei! i am jealous.

Mine was not a v-spec, but it was a mint car. sold for 45k. I think the new owner has done pretty well. I have all the 34's on carsales and there are only a few really nice looking ones and they are asking good money for them. The standout for me is the white nur with white te37's. Nice car, pretty dear though. Its amazing how many calls i had in the week it was on carsales. at least 3 would have bought the car.

The reason i sold it was simply a lack of use. Too much work, family, and little time. I also have other vehicles. The next car i will buy i promised myself will be used for its intended purpose. which to me means track work.

Thanks mate, i agree it was a keeper, but so too was my 32-GTR that i sold a few years ago. The next one will be the same! i hope!!!

[N1GTR]

Just dont sell the next one lol

[Johnny]

Damn thats not a car i would part with easily....it was just sooooo.......perfect

I almost made the same decision about 6 months ago to a forum member as i hardly drive mine and its not very user friendly but after giving her a nice long check out i kept it and bought a new getz just so i could keep the R lolz

wats next on the list??? bmw m3 or lotus elise

yes i could tell from the Front lip that it isnt a V-spec

or it doesnt have the V-spec lip extension.

oh well...better luck next time aye?

I know Johnny, he drove off in it today and it looked so good and the sound was amazing..

Well a good friend has an my04.5 e46 so i dont need to own one of those to enjoy it. I think in a while it might be an RS4 audi 6-12 months, i dont want 3 cars anymore. I get a company landcruiser or prado all the time, so the other car needs to have 4 doors so my partner can fit our little boys stuff in there.

I was even looking at Evo's today and thinking i should sell my girls prado and buy an my07 evo ix. If i dont go that way it will be Audi, or V-specII nur.

Good work hanging on to yours.....

You cant tell from the picture but it actually did have the bottom lip, its just that its black and you cant see it... that lip hits EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

I presume he knows that the R34 GT-R 10th ANNIV is "ON" Ben?

If he doesn't, ask him to 'express his interest to say he's "IIN"' if you will. Ta Tez

Im big on the audi rs4! i drove one about a year ago and highly recommend poping down to the dealer; jst be careful you dont leave a (white) deposit on it....lolz

goodluck with the hunt mate

ps: sorry but i just cant consider an evo as a replacement for your gtr; would be like going from eating beluga caviar to a tub of lard

[rtune]

there is a really NICE looking evo 8mr for sale on SAU. White. If I had a 3 car garage I'd have got it.

No lard there. Quicker than an R34 I think.

well R34 GT-R was rated on Best Motoring Japan against 2002 WRX STI and the sti was a touch quicker.
