I have told my sons to bury me in my N1. It's a keeper

Fat chance that is going to happen, after you pass from this earth they will be sad, untill they realise the car is theirs :cool: it's evil but that's the way it is. You can't blame them.

Wow the car got passed in at $59k, guess you guys were wrong wern't you, import 22b's are worth even less than I even thought it was going to get at auction, I thought it would hit atleast $63 because of excited enthusiasts. I still don't think it's worth more than $40k + transfer, auction fee, rego, ect... so something around $50k all up is what it is worth maximum in todays climate in this country.

Can you show me where I can by anything other than an import 22B recently?

Also, what would IC's R34 N1 be worth in your opinion?

Iron Chef, is it a V-Spec or V-Spec II? And yes, pics please!

how about they come up when they come up and i'm still sticking with the mossman 22b as AUD because that's what the ad had on it so couple months ago. and no i didn't confirm in person if it was AUD or JDM.

I got no idea what an N1 is worth here, especially one like this one, there hasn't been enough of them sold here to know what it's worth, why don't you value it yourself, you don't need daddys hand to hold you do you? :cool:

They won't even be sad, ha. Well the eldest one did get the gts-t. The youngest can't drive a manual. lol

Pics of both N1's please

Therein lies my point, if someone was after a 22B then the options are limited to the 5 AUD ones and the PI ones. Ie seller's market. So one would have to pay the (seller's) price or wait a while to find one.

I'm not the one who is competing against the 'whole of SAU' on guessing car auction prices :sweat:

I assume you work for an auction or car valuation company or perhaps insurance, hence the question.

And I am not in the market for an R34 N1 :whoops: Just asking the 'expert' :cheers:

Mine's a V Spec II N1, interestingly enough, there are three of them (including mine) in Australia - the other two have been used in competition for Targa Tas and the like. As for V Spec N1s, I only know of kimbod's in Australia.

With the 22B, there were 5 imported from Japan by Subaru Australia for select customers/collectors, who then either got the poops on or one of them ponied up with the cash to get his road registered, so all five owners were the offered the option of doing so.

You can assume that but you are far from it, I don't work for anyone. I work for my self, the only way to work.

And it's not car auction prices, it's car valuation which you would think used car guys should know a thing or two about...

LOL and 'market value' is not actual value either. :P

if there was a market value established for a one off car which has never been on sale other than directly from holden.... i'd like to see it :P

So true about "Market Value" Right now I have an R32 V-SpecII with no turbos, and in need of a respray, market Value would be about $12000, Not sure if anyone would pay that for it. Fact is if anyone rocked up with $50k, it would not be for sale, because it's value to me is higher than that. (So just imagine what it would be worth to me with turbos...)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
