We were all talking about the R34 GT-R that had 380,000kms on auction last week (or was that 2 weeks ago). Well it was sold today for 1,560,000 yen which equates to about $18,500 in aussie dollars. Then add the usual FOB, freight, taxes, compliance, and other misc fees and you will have yourself a GT-R for under 30 grand.

I can't wait until she lands on our shores, so everyone stay tuned for this baby.

Other pearlers worth mentioning as well.

2001 M Spec (well it's claimed to be but I doubt it's the real deal), 165,000kms, grade 3.5/B --- sold for 2 mil yen

That raises a point; how often do r34's come up with mechanical issues?

Eg a blown motor (bearings or similar), surely they would be priced close to this 380,000k one?

I saw a rolled NUR Spec in Millenium Jade at Nagoya a few months ago. There was not an undamaged panel on the car and it sold for 1.1mill. Prices lately are just bizarre, absolutely all over the place.

Rolled? Bloody hell, what a waste.

I mean one thats structurally fine, clean enough inside etc but a blown motor, or a blown gearbox (or just no motor and box altogether)?

Motors over here are easy enough to buy, or just build :ermm:

As you can tell by the prices they pull at auction, if a 34 has a blown engine or box it will simply be replaced or repaired.

It's not like they're at a value whereby if the engine is blown they're worth nothing. So, if you were to find one with a blown donk, it would likely only be cheaper by the value of a rebuild engine.

Even if you were to find one like this, the extra shipping costs due to it not being drivable with outweigh any real benefit.

I remember that one, I think I put 500,000 or something on it just for the engine/drivertrain...

THese generally don't make it to auction, they get bought by dealers or fixed by the owners. Plenty of rattly 32/33s go through but generally the type of person who owns a 34 has the money to fix the car before selling it.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
