its unfortunate, but our cars are no longer worth much to sell, however you can pick up one cheap now and certainly get more than your moneys worth, especially if track work is on your to do list.

However, Its amazing how 34 GTRs are still so expensive stock for what they are, most are in good condition though, unlike so many shocking examples of skylines u see these days....

The prices are down a bit for the Gtr more so the R33's as apposed to the R32 but like most things you get what you pay for , you can get a cheap R32 gtr from $13000 but will it be a keeper ? i don't think so .I think that R32 Gtr will be like the Ford GT's and the Holden GTS in the future there is" no doubt" that there prices will go up so if you can find a good one get it fast and hang on to it

I went interstate to get my R32 , well actually Queensland found one with 23000km , it is now locked in a shed for 20 years :D as i have a daily GTR already , i really could not find any half descent GTR s in S.A and that was over 1 years worth of searching, also people have less money generally here too . I agree with you that the GTR R33 is getting cheaper , i personally think its the shape , maybe.

I doubt car prices for the cars (post 1980) will go up like the older cars like Ford GTs or Holden Torana GTRs, plus fuel will be a issue in 20 yrs.

Maybe a ADM 32GTR will hold or go up but not much else, it needs history, JDM imports are just cheap fun cars.

Most people are reluctant in this financial climate to part with their hard earned dollars or have lost their job and this will affect the price of pretty much everything second hand. From what I've been hearing, Banks are also more reluctant to hand out car loans and personal loans compared to how easy it used to be 18-36 months ago. Obviously thrashed/trashed and distastefully modded cars won't bring a healthy return on ones investment either

Also has alot to do with other makers bringing out new models every single day just about. newish commos are cheap. new falcons are cheap. Too many newer cars for cheap.

The interior would have a big to do with it too. I think skylines don't have a chance compared to other cars within the same price range.

I bet they thought that in the mids 80's to and look what happened .
. I agree with you that the GTR R33 is getting cheaper , i personally think its the shape , maybe.

the R32 is the original won bathurst and kier wilsons monster is a 32 while the R34 is the last of the rb26's and the main 1 shown in movies kids toys etc. i reckon these factors are also contributing.

just look how much a 240z is worth compared to a 260. i cant see gtr prices getting crazy anytime soon but i dont see them dropping below the 10k mark for a decent example either. generally originals are more collectable than the later models

I saw someone mentioning about the property factor during this time and I tend to agree with what he said. A lot of people are selling their cars to get their foot into the market and during the crisis, people will just want to get rid of their loan or "burden". Hence the big fall in price. When all this is over and property/interest rates starts to go up, people will turn to cheaper things like cars (this concept is like people that change that mobile all the time, something new to keep themselves happy). Maybe then we'll see a rise in price. And all this are just based on supply and demand as well.

Only a few hundred Ford GT HOs were made which is why they can claim a high price, more Holden GTS-GTRs were made so donot get near the Ford except for the A9X, There are a few good cars which will hold or go up but the number of vehicles made makes the difference between a investment or cheap bang for buck.

Wish I had not sold my old LJ GTR now.

Just a thought and only about an 98 R34GTT mainly cause I've got one , as near as I can figure this car cost about AUS $38.000.00 in Tokyo in 1998 so I thought I'd use the Aus delivered 98 WRX as a comparison cause it was on the $39990.00 in Aus at that time--- and her's the sobering truth on an 98 MY09 4 DOOR 5seat WRX courtesy of Carsales.

And here's the horrid truth from the same source for a 98 R34GTT 2 door 4 seat coupe,

5sp Manual Petrol Intercooled Turbo 6cyl 2.5 2498cc

yeah but no one wants the 1998 REX....the cult car was the '99 & '00 models

Better comparrison is not by year but maybe by model, ie. R33 vs the '98 REX

:P OK I'm only realy interested in comparing the 98 R34 GTT so to be fair I'll go a year later-- the figure before for the rex is for an MY99 delivered Oct 08 or later, here's the $ for the MY99 delivered in 99 but before Oct 99 note the RRP increase.-

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
