Hey, lately ive been looking around at all types of cars,

But.

seeing the prices's of N/A r34's are ridiculous.

15k-18k, really?

back in NZ you could pick one up for 9k in great condition.

and better yet pick up a tidy r32 GTR for the same price.

anyways thats my little hissy fit for the day haha.

would be good to see what people have to say about this.

I agree.

$15k - $18k?! Yes that is ridiculous!

Fucking bullshit, in fact :laugh:

I would not pay anymore then $9k considering it being in top condition or I'd pay around $7k - $8k.

And I love all the comments how they can justify selling it for prices from $15k - $18k.

yeah thats the thing that has me scratching my head.

im too worried about buying a turbo'd car

as most are less expensive than N/A's

i guess at the end of the day as long as its checked out all good,

theres no problem with a cheap deal?

i still think this is ridiculous haha.

cheers for the input

Are you interested in a NA R34 mate?

Mine is for sale. PM me for info.

No offence mate, but theres no reason for me to be interested in a N/A when i can drive turbo?

plus i would never pay that amount for a non turbo r34. thats why i posted this thread.

Just checking lol.

First of all; This is Australia, not New Zealand. You can't buy imports for f**k all here like over there.

And in Queensland (where i'm from, obviously) the current p-plate laws make N/A skylines more desirable then they ever were. Prior to july 2007, no one had a reason to import a non-turbo skyline, apart from if they wanted to be crap. With the new laws, it was all p-platers could drive. So there was less people wanting to purchase turbo cars (key demographic - 17-20 years old has been ruled out) and more wanting to purchase N/A skylines, which there were less of in the country.

Supply and demand. Non-turbo silvias and skylines are selling for as much now as they were in 2006 roughly.

At the end of the day, something it only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
