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.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
