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.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
