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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
