jake32: cheers for that! i've been wanting that exact info - much appreciated.

i had my first bid today at the auctions. Limit of 1.1million, and was killed. Sold for 1.54 - Admitedly (sp?) it was a very nice car. 1998, 31000km's. Nismo kit, exhaust, a few scratches, grade 4, interior grade B. I think i was pushing it for 1.1 million.

Can't say those list of prices over the past 3 months has got me very happy :D I had a limit of about 1.01million, but decided to up it to 1.1 - looks like i'll have to go up again. :D I've been giving some ambigious info me thinks :)

Was this all from one auction yard jake32? or was it all over?

cheers

list is compiled from sales data from all aution house`s across japan....prices do vary from area to area but not much..auction house grading systems also vary ..some are very strict & harsh on cars they grade other`s not so...so beware of that as well.. as far as your bidding price goes i think 1.2 fob should buy a nice manual 60-70k`s so 1.1 bid should get you something.....

at the same time if your going thru the hassle of bringing in you own car ..make sure its the 1 you want..it may be worth going the extra for the nismo kit etc...if you see the car with your name on it ...bid enough to buy it

:) you can bid to steal 1 but it become`s frustrating after awhile

your also getting towards r33 gtr money as well : 95 v spec grade 4 120000klm` sold for 1.3 last week :D

Your treading on thin ice there: I would own an S15 over an R34 any single day of the week. The r34 is a very tame and boring sedan compared to the sporty S15, (stock to stock) have you driven both? I have. This is personal preference of course, but you can't go and say they are 'far nicer cars' I prefer the interior, the seats, the suspension and the road feel on the S15 as well.

I would take a silvia over skyline gtst on all models.. r32 vs s13, r33 vs s14, r34 vs s15

I have thoroughly driven or owned every single car!  Have you?

ps. Start talking about GTRs and watch me jump the fence :(

pps. I currently own a very fast s13 and a pulsar gtir.

Agreed with some of what other people mentioned already.. comparing cars is pretty much up to personal preference. But..

Before I got a 34 GTT I have test driven 33 gtst (modified and stock), S15 J-Spec, S14 Stock Aust delievered, gtir stock (?) (just for the hell of it) . S13/silvia and silvia I didnt bother cause I wanted a newish car. :D

I must say 34GTT is still the car to get, depending on what you wanted a car for. The GTT has better interior (standard), turns more head and more room! than an S15 or S14 or even 33. :(

I would agree to say that 34 GTRs.. ooo... gimme one.. :(

SS8-Gohan - Regarding GTR kits for a GTT. Was just at powerplay yesterday to get my car serviced and was told that the East Bear GTS-R kit,which is a plastic (better than fiberglass) GTR copy is now available.

Unfortunately i already have a full CWest kit but if you interested the price for the GTS-R kit is about 3800 just for parts i think. This im pretty sure includes front rear bar and skirts. ALSO included is a carbon fibre style (dont actually think its real CF). U need to have the bonnet since the GTR kits extends out longer.

I saw it whilst i was there and it looks very good. The kit itself will fit all GT models including I think the 4 door (saw a picture of the kit on a 4 door car whilst i was there). Just wish i hadnt paid 6 grand for a full cwest kit, would of got this 1 instead. If u are interested call Joanne at powerplay.

Good for you.. I've been as passenger in most of these cars however.. that is enough to get a feel for how they drive, although not as true as driving one I will admit.

And well interior, exterior, room, turning heads on the street, and everything else I prefer the R34 GT-T, and so do many others. You don't have to have actually sat behind the steering wheel to know that.

Anythow, this a skyline forum, and a discussion about the R34 GT-T, not the silvia.

s15 interior is better than gtt! you've got to be joking. s15 looks like it's made out of empty ice cream containers on the inside. soooo plastic.

when I bought mine my choice boiled down to new 200sx v gtt. we now know how that ended.

    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
