New From Nz

[True TJ]

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

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.

hmm Im not fussed on any extras if there are they are a bonus as i have a few plans i wanna do anyway, and i dont mind on spending more for better either, i just dont wanna step into something thats more for more problems ha, but thats awesome about the VIN # info thanks heaps now when im looking hard i can find something with the less problems haha awesome cheers terry!!
