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

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
