That's tough, i gotta ask, can you negotiate on price for cars like these? Not that i could ever buy one or would negotiate over one but do people haggle over car royalty?

Youd be suprised, some people try and haggle - my attitude towards the people that did that (from my import car seling days) was to show them the way to parramatta rd where they can haggle and get a lemon.

Seriously, i gave them a map with the directions!

I can understand a bit of negotiation, like rego or new tyres, but some of the offers were crazy low from people who never came through anyway. Still with that said, asking for new tyres on a car like that says a lot about a person ;)

Been in, would rather have the 400R as its the real deal

the thing that put me off immediately on the mines car is

"Odometer 14800"

yeah, right. For a 1999 r34, 9 years old.

....since the ground up rebuild :wub:

like wise with this company (whilst having an excellent rapport with the global JDM industy) claiming "Bayside Blue" and "Nismo Suspention kit" aye.... :blink:

Yeah, they fkd up ;)

lol the 400R popped up last week - I was gonna list it on my site for fun, but I've had problems uploading pics. Seriously, I think websites are the reason I have no hair.

That would be a lot more than $90K to bring it here, by the way :blink:

Anyone seen any 34 gtr Z Tunes for sale ? i wonder what there going for now a days ?

That's one of those "If you have to ask how much, you can't afford it" situations...

Brings up an interesting point about what my N1 is worth though. One of 18 ever built, just ticked over 24,000kms (with books), with complete Nismo R1 engine and a heap of other Nismo gear.

moneypit, they do exist :P

I actually think that's a very good price on that 400R, Zele would be selling my car for more than that if they had it in their showroom.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
