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.

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
