Hi there everyone

im moving to Melbourne from NZ next month and my plan is to buy a Skyline "obviously by me writing this" and i dont think my sheep will cut it at summer time there so ill leave it behind :/

I have a few questions as ive been doing some research into what mods i want to do first and all that, and to each there own opinions on what needs attention first but i havent been able to find much info on this

How much should a low Km (under 100 thou) R34 GTT - Manual (either 4 door or 2 door as each as just damn fine looking peices of automotive greatness) in good condition and road legal !! Cost???

ive been looking on car sales for around 4 months to get sort of a understanding average and i think its about around $15,000 does that seem right?

plus where are some good workshops in melbourne (mainly east) that do a good job and dont charge like im driving a dump like a ferrari as i plan to spend a bit more then a couple of K on this to get some more ponies from it so i need a good tuner n that

Cheers

Hi Tim and Welcome :P

A 4 door will fetch a lower price than a 2. Are you after the R34 with much fruit on it?

Most of the R34 depreciation happened between mid '09 to early '10 so you're coming into the market at a good time I'd say.

Check any VIN# on a prospective R34 with the "VINS Fasted" thread here on SAU to see if the car came from Hokkaido or N. Honshu where they salt their roads in winter. You get the drift.

Even a $18500 2 dr R34 GT-T in great condition can be worth the dough.

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
