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"?

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
