I'm selling my 98 R34GT-t Manual and I'm absolutely puzzled as to what to ask for it after being offered $7000.00 on a trade for a 99 BMW 318iS with $14990.OO.

I'm begining to think I'm in for a bath or two , then I look at CARSALES and see most R34GT-t manuals at around $18000.00 and up so I feel a bit better.

I'm asking $15990.00 for mine with stock wheels on here and $16250.00 with stock wheels on Carsales but I realy haven't got a clue whether I'm asking to much or shortchanging myself.

Any thoughts anyone ?

:blink:

sounds about right, just because people are asking for $18k+ doesn't mean that's what it's worth nor does it mean they will get that price. 7K trade in is rediculous $16-18 sounds like a good private figure in my opinion. But then again i'm assuming yours is in reasonably good condition with less than 100k on the odometre, ok service history. Drives well.

good luck and post some pics of the car up

Not long ago I was offered more than your sale price as a trade-in on my car, strange how some people have a lend with price when they consider it "too hard basket" they hope you'll do a cartwheel and hand over the keys, meanwhile they've just doubled their money....pfft

The selling market is pretty much dead, no pulse.

I have trouble selling my R33 GT-R which is reasonably priced and I'm open to negotations.

Expect some dreamers, which is pretty much normal.

It's the way it is.

Shameless realy.

You forgot to add an important element in your advertising Al.

ie. why you are selling it !!!!

Advert should contain words like,

"Owned and loved by elderly gent, who now has to revert to an automatic due to reasons pertaining to my spine"

In the Prelude Australia forums, the guys regard Preludes F/S & owned by older dudes like us as being holy grails!

We tend to take care of our wives better than the younger guys too cough... cough...

Didn't realy want to play the crook card even though it's true as I thought it smacks of "the dog ate my homework " or "I'm here from the Depertment of Taxation--I'm here to help you" sort of thing , probably worth it though--although truth and advertising are often starange bedfellows.

As for the wife thing--' Takes all night to do what I used to do all night ' comes to mind :)

As a sidenote the add has just been thrown of Ausrotary--IFIIK why :(

The market is pretty much dead atmo, I've been trying to sell my GTT for awhile now and in my opinion mine is a ripper of a GTT but have had little to no interest at all.

The price your asking in my opinion is low, no to long ago 20k up was the norm for a decent gtt.

How about, "Owned and cherished by mature gent" then?

That's how I've sold my cars before + the fact that I needed to use my mother's address closer to the city.

I just resumed meeting up with a Salvos friend @ his stall, on the main street of our town.

He goes into hospital for back surgery in 3 weeks.

He's just sold his Clubman - couldn't get into or out of it anymore.

He's about to buy a '76 Corvette for $34K, but hasn't driven it yet.

He's been in my car and was very impressed as we went through some twisties here in the Mtns.

I told him about your car > so Rick is mulling it over. He's after RWD anyway.

I agree with you there on the low price but you know how it is when you finaly make the decision to move on you like to just get on with it if I'm going to take a hit on this I'd rather take the hit and go forward than push for 2 or 3K more and end up taking a hit anyway--just IMO though. :D

I also need to sell before I change my mind and spend stupid amounts putting new seats in cause of my stupid back--then 'll come the sway bars and links, then the nistune and frontmount and boost controler and soon enough Ill decide that I just have to have a set of Tiens or Drummonds cause I wont be able to work out how I've lived without them , then out will go the Enkeis and in with Rays cause we know hoe essential that extra 650 grams gain PW is an the streeter and by then Ill be looking for wife No 4 cause I'll have worn No three out---and thats how it goes.

So I realy actualy do need to sell. :P

Took your advice there and bumped it with the extra info , bit of a jump Corvette---Skyline R34GT-t but thanks for the prop , much appreciated , it'd be a good saving though, and a more practical car , Corvettes are great for a belt but a bit squashy for room. Cheers, :P

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
