Hey guys,

Just reaching out for some help as I'm trying to sell my 98 R34 GTT Turbo manual coupe but not having any luck.

The k's are on the higher side @ 172,000kms.

But the car is in good condition with only a couple of minor scratches.

Tried to sell it for $14,990 but have now dropped it to $13,990.

Please check my car out by clicking on my sig to see the for sale ad,

Let me know what price you think people are willing to pay.

I need it gone this week!

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Jaylon

I bought a 34 recently with 145k on the clock for $10,500 and it had a fair bit of work done to it, Tein Suspension with an EDFC, 3" turbo back exhaust with a split dump pipe and a few other bits and bobs. It's in GREAT shape as well, just needed a little TLC in the engine bay.

It's a buyers market right now unfortunately mate.

Wow thats insanely cheap!

Was it manual and 2 door?

Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to sell mine that cheap.

Might have to wait it out a bit and cut back some stuff on the wedding :(

$10,500 is cheap! I paid $8800 for my r33 s1 manual coupe with low km's and in good condition just over a year ago so I think the price your asking is decent. I'd pay $13990 if I was in the market for an r34 in good condition. Maybe take it off the market for a few months as there seems to be an abundance of skylines for sale at the moment and it's so hard to compete when some are selling for next to nothing.

$14k is cheap for an r34 compared to others advertised...

yours is high km's but they all are in reality yours just has not had a haircut...

my point is advertised averages does not tell you what its worth, its worth what someone is willing to pay...

maybe take it off the market and bring it back onto the market via carsales after tax time at $14k ono...

Yeah fair enough,

I went into it thinking $15k would be sweet,

but now I realise what people are willing to pay for it.

I have one guy keen,

he's willing to pay $13k so I think I might have to bite the bullet and settle for 13.

Thanks for all your advice!

Since buying my 34 I keep an eye on the market eg. carsales and threads on here, and 34 sales (and perhaps most turbo's?) seem to be quite stagnant. Clean examples with low k's that would have been advertised for $20k + at the start of the year are now opening at 17-18k. I know a few 34's that are STILL on carsales that were floating around when I started looking for cars 6mths ago. Assuming they are as good as the owners and pictures say, they simply have not dropped in price and hence do not sell.

From a buyers point of view the k's on your car would be a turn off, although it looks really clean and has a few nice mods. Love the front lip, have the same on my car :thumbsup:

Just remember its not a vs/vt/vx commodore or a 4cyl runaround, just gotta hang out for the right buyer. gl

good luck mate, puts a downer on me as one day i will have to sell mine too, and I know how hard its guna be..I bought mine for 14k a year ago with 86000kms and it had a few tasty mods to boot.

Hmm good point.

It's just that I needed it gone a couple of weeks ago to pay for wedding stuff so I'm in a bit of trouble with money.

Was thinking this would sell quicker if I drop the price.

Hope people haven't been turned off!

This is gonna sound like a really stupid question,

but what can you use to write on the windows of your car?

Carsales never sent me the for sale sticker and I've emailed them countless times for it.

Thanks.

If it's still for sale in a couple of months, I'll take it off your hands for the money you're asking mate.

I'm starting a new job within the month and I'll be making a lot, so it all depends on how long I have to be working to get a loan, but if your car is still there, I'm keen as mustard.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
