Easily still get $60,000+ on a V-Spec II with low Km's and keeping it stock.

V-Spec can go for about $50,000.

Base model GTR would be about $40,000.

If it's modified, it will lower the sale price.

The more mods, the lower it will become.

How so..?

It's not a super-rare model/collectors item.

So if someone puts a built motor/brakes onto it - i tell you now it wont sell for LESS than it would if it was stock.

That's just madness.

I see,

So you can get back money on mods..?

How much can you put back on top of the stock price if modded to what you said?

yeah, Ash is right, for our cars, mods done properly will definitely add value, but obviously not at a 1:1 ratio of what you paid :D

you could probably work out a very rough idea of $ spent on mods vs value added to car, like say 30% or something like that. I sold my GT-T last year for low 30's, compared with say high teen's for a basic manual GT-T - so done properly with quality mods, should definitely add value

A nice V-Spec II, low kms - fairly stock, low $60K's sounds about right - nicely basic modded one for around mid-high $60K's i'd say.

didnt realise this was a discussion about 1:1 ratio of $$ spend vs $$ recouped.

Was a simple question of would a modded one sell for more, the answer is most certainly - YES! :D

That's what I wanted to know.

Thanks.

no cos the price of mods V what extra you get on the price will be lucky to be 50% so you still lose.. except you get the enjoyment of said mods.

its probably worth 60k but its what someone is prepared to pay for it that matters

if it was me id by a stocker for 40k and spend 20k on mods if i had a budget of 60k

unless yours is some ultra super mega rare midnight purple III or something obscure i see (and probably most) zero value in vspec II over normal vspec

Guesstimate $59K Plus or Minus - Depending on...

* Proof of low Kms

* Servicing

* Mods done here with quality hardware & reputable tuner Vs sight unseen Vs stock

* Colour

* Condition of car and upholstery

* Tiredness of engine/running gear Re: street Vs track

* Absence of rust

* Absence of damage or that it has been fixed properly

* Demand Vs supply

* Time of year and state of economy

Enough variables?

depends on which mods.

a bastardised car with a mess of mods would be cheaper. something well built etc will be more. like Daniels midori R34 :thumbsup:

Depends what's done lol

All true :)

I'm with you on that one.

Besides, to make a base model R34 GTR to level up to the V-Spec / V-Spec II, won't take much.

A few cosmetic changes + the MFD, suspension mods and you're pretty much done.

No point debating it, Paul's right here...it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Not half cost of mods multiplied by x divided by v-spec to the power of MFD. Until someone hands over the cash that's all just speculation, particularly on a car with such variation in sale price.

Start at the top of the market and work your way down in price until you get low enough that a serious buyer comes along and can't resist purchasing it. That's what everyone else does. And be prepared to wait - it's a specialist car. However long you spent looking for your car and waiting for the right one to come along, that's how long you could be waiting to sell it for what you think it's worth.

Or price it reasonably and sell it in a week.

Stuffing around for 4-5 months trying to sell an import for that extra '3-4k' just isn't worth the hassle in many instances. 100's of questions, tyre kickers and time wasters.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • 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.
