Thanks nomnomv8. It's nice when someone realises just because it's not a V-spec doesn't make it worth 40K

Both God_speed and I have received compliments about the non-V-Spec R34 GTR we sold last year. They came from both the new owner and his mate.

The remarks aren't just about the looks - as in the Daily Telegraph; but also the running gear, the engine and Tanabe suspension.

There was no loss of face being a non-V-Spec.

Just as yours is a Z Tune dedication; ours is a VS2 dedication.

It's about to be modified as we speak.

I think the other guy was more referring to its asking price of the 34 gtr. Originally asking 65k for a 1999 model non V spec regardless the mods as we all know the fact you never make or get your money back from mods. And now the seller finally drops down to 49k because it just wouldn't sell so obviously it isn't worth as much as people think they were. Look at God_speed's "near stock" non Vspec he sold. It was very clean and low mileage. He asked for 55k at the start and he had to drop it down to 45k and then sold it and I am pretty sure he sold it for less than 45k.

So it is all about the price that people are willing to pay for. If everyone is only willing to pay 40k for a 34 gtr, the seller will have to drop to that price to sell in the end unless he just wants to keep it. Then he wouldn't have put it up for sale if that was the case.

I would have to disagree with this mate..

R34 gtrs are really hard to value, the market is getting flooded with absolute sh!t examples (crashed, rusted etc) which is bringing prices right down. People see that one sells for this much and think they all should. The difference being I believe the condition really has a big effect on the price, as if I was gong to buy another 34r... I would pay more for a non vspec that was a really good example, than I would an average vspec, or vspecii etc..

If you look at good examples in Japan, grade 4.5+ genuine low km, they are being sold there for 40-50k, which makes them too expensive for importers, therefore a market here flooded with sh!t.

I do agree with the price you stated above if a quick sale is needed though, in today's market, if I was to sell mine, I would be expecting a fairly lengthy sale for the right buyer to come along and see the value in the asking price, and I wouldn't sell it (non vspec also) for less than 50k if I had the liberty to wait.

Just my 2cents... As for the OP, best of luck with the sale, car looks great!

You certainly keep track of the prices and posts on here Wei. :)

Sometimes it is just a case of an opportunity arising - for the buyer, the right car presenting itself, or for the seller, the right buyer presenting himself, at the right time. I've seen cases of R33 or R34 GTRs selling quickly for more than I'd thought they'd go for simply because a buyer came on the scene quickly and snapped it up; the opposite has also happened where what seems to be a quality car takes a while to sell. Doesn't mean the first car in this example is necessarily much more valuable than the second; it's just chance

Some of the junk that has emerged in the classifieds from certain traders also has not helped

And for the record, even though in this case I've now bought a Nur instead with a fair bit of extra kit, part of me still misses the old black non-V, it was genuinely a great car and the (now not-so) new owner is hopefully enjoying it

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
