Hi everyone,

Looking at getting a 34 GTR and want to ensure I can sell it easier in the future. So between white, black and blue, which do you think has a better resale value and most of interest in Aus? Also why do you think so?

Please vote if you can and discuss. Thanks a lot for your input.

Here are 3 of the colours with similar setups.

Well I voted for 1 of them which is the only option; but it's a close call between Pearl Black & Bayside Blue imho.

Both are less common than white.

Midnight Purple III is less common still but very popular.

Yellow is not so popular except to Shell.

Red seems to be love or hate.

Verdict:- White is slightly less in resale value; by hey, if it's kept in great cond. you'd be fool to knock it back (if there's short supply at the time).

Advantage of Black:- You can paint the front splitter Pearl Black to colour-code.

Disadvantage of Black:- Swirl marks will show up more than any other colour, so one needs to procedurally polish them out.

Pretty much all the GT-R's colour options are great (llok at the entire list its purely awesome).

I'm a little biased because I have a black R34 myself but Bayside Blue is an awesome colour and when people picture an R34 GT-R they usually picture it in blue, a pretty cult colour.

At the end of the day an R34 GT-R is going to be awesome anyway!

I personally am leaning towards the blue too but the black looks badass if done well. My wifes uncle has a Nur Spec II in the green and its ok. He used to have an older bayside blue and that was nicer.

Here is another question for you guys;

Standard late model 34 in original spec with low kms (say 20,000kms)

or

99/2000 with a bunch of mods like the one above with mid to high kms around 70,000kms to 80,000kms.

Which would you rather buy??

The question my friend is, are you prepared to pay a lot more for a very low km late model car than a higher km earlier model unit. Because the difference will be huge.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
