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.

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.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
