The price is reasonable for somebody who wants to sell quickly, all the GT-Rs on carsales are priced too high.

The only movement I have seen lately was an SA registered 09 which was advertised at $126k and had gone through a few price drops.

44,000kms with some wear showing on the seat side bolsters? Certainly sounds genuine and could be a great buy!

Completely agree - all the ones listed for 140K or so are simply not selling, but I know of at least 3 that sold for mid 120K with 10,000kms or around there, so this price is pretty spot on for a person that wants to sell.

Rego says it expires in March 2011 - but I thought the early ones were only delivered in May 2009 - could it be possible this is one of the early Nissan Aust cars. Regardless, 44,000kms in 18months lets say is a lot, but not excessive - its only around 570kms per week, so its just your regualrly driven daily driver.

Depreciation from 162-165K to 105K is also pretty normal.

Shame its not silver or gunmetal.

This makes one wonder if a few more of these will ultimatley lead to values intersecting with the R34 GT-R VS-II NUR.

This one has already come down to below the value of the N1 R34 GT-R. :P

For sure, just look at the Japan prices for the Nur and compared to R35's you'll see that Nur will be the future classic...................damn, I knew it.

it would have to be a long distance commuter car. in 12 months that's over 3,500 kms a week, which is over 500kms a day 7 days a week! or over 700kms a day 5 days a week. that would be impossible to do in just short 5km-10km trips unless the bloke was a courier... lol.

damnn, does he just hop in and forrest gump that sh!t down to NSW daily? :P

Hmmm. . . someones needs to go back to school

12 months (52weeks) x 3500 kms a week equals 182,000km in a year. . .not 44,000km :P

Less beer Beer Baron :D

846.153846km per week.

169.230769km per day 5days per week. Work is 75km away? allow for shops etc. or work is 50km away, and allow for weekends.

Or call it a drive to a holiday house over the weekend and a couple of drives to work? Not many kms for a year...

I dont remember them having a black one

From memory they had a GMG and a red one

EDIT: Maybe the red was another GMG. Too long ago

there's more than one supercar club in oz :D

I doubt its from the Supercar Club, they only offered a limited number of km's per year on each type of membership so I doubt it would of racked up 44k in 12 months.On a slightly different not does anyone have 105k I could borrow interest free for say the next 20 years :D

Those cars had the k's going wild!

The average each year was around 40000k's (from the horses mouth) so its quite possible.

Honestly, i think 105k is a reasonable asking price and have no doubt it will sell reasonably fast at that...

44k on the clock does not concern me at all, i do about that per year with work in my car...

hence i turn it over every 18 months to 24 months...

my SS I sold with 78k on the clock, the car before that with 67k...

the new car i picked up eariler this year already has 26k on it...

I never leave south east Qld either... Some days I can do 150km easily and not leave Brisbane...

I would have no hassles buying this GTR, in fact if I was buying again now id be looking at it...

44000km in one year! I wish I got to drive my car that much!

Be interesting to see how nice it drives compared to a normal low kay example.

Mine is nearly 3 years old now with barely 14000km on it.

Not exactly my favourite car for a daily drive/commuter.

Either that or this particular GTR has done LOTS of dyno work!!!

Not the best colour either in my opinion........

I thought about this thread yesterday, so i reset my odometer...

It was a heavy day on the road for me yesterday, I did 370km and never left Brisbane...

So as I said eariler 44k in just over a year is easily done if in my line of work...

GTR may not be the most suitable car tho... :D

lol, yeah me not count so good!!! it was 3500kms a MONTH not a week. somehow I did 44,000 / 12 and skipped straight to weeks... :blush:

funky could be right it could be a ex prestige car club car. they do rack up a fair few kms...

Will the new owner reveal why the price was so low to stop all this speculation ( asuming he is a forum member) ?

btw congrats to a beaut car!!!!!

What's "so low" about $105,000 +SD for an 18month old car with 44,000kms on the odo, that originally cost $165,000 on the road - it seems spot on. How much would you pay for it mate, 155K hehehe. Owner clearly wanted it sold, he wasn't keen leaving it on carsales for 12months like some of the people advertising their cars on carsales.

Agree completely. I have been following the prices on carsales all year in anticipation of eventually selling my Evo X and moving on to an R35, and many of the cars have been on there for a long time - eg. the white SA car mentioned in the this thread had been on there for as long as I've been watching.

Maybe the fact that it sold in an instant might allude to why the price was perceived as "so low"?

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
