Swap N1 R34 Gtr For R35 + $$


Recommended Posts

ask Bobby how much he had his advertised on ebay for lol

($1M - im sure he didnt sell it for that much though)

Luckily, I believe eBay have a cap on the final value / listing fee for vehicles.

Otherwise, that would have been an expensive bill.

For a quarter of a mill thats still represents good value for money for a super car imo. Would still beat a lot of cars today. I wonder if the owners drive them much or if they have them as a collectors and keep them in storage.

well theres only 19 of them so i'd be pretty careful. Its rarer than a lot of higher-end hypercars that cost many times the cost of a Z-tune (AM One-77 springs to mind).

I know in Japan you sometimes see one at those Daikoku Futo meets so they do get driven, but imagine if you owned a car that was 1 of 19 in the existence. you certainly wouldn't drive it everyday. i might make an early morning breakfast run on the sunday though.

Just saying...

But let say if a Nismo Z-Tune did go for a 'Super Car' Price... I still couldn't justify it.

Sure, you'd own 1 out of the 20 that were built but if you take a look at the car, Nismo just made it special from a handful of 2nd hand V-Spec's.

I am aware that an extensive amount of work went into building the Nismo Z-Tunes which has Super Car performance.

My point is, if you had the cash, you'd buy a Base model R34 GTR and work / customise to how you'd want it and still have Super Car performance.

In having said all that, no doubt, I would still own a Z-Tune :)

But your super car performance base model R34 GTR would not hold the same value as a ztune, not even close.

Clear examples going through the for sale section here, cars with 100K+ work, sell for less than 100K.

I should add that a lot of these cars that are built, are faster than the ztune in at least one way or another.

Most of the people who can afford a ztune, aren't buying it to be able to drive it around the track.

Well thats what I believe.

Nismo Z-Tune only holds a higher value because of what Nismo did to it.

So would you pay for performance or for 'name' sake..?

Garage queen? :laugh:

Imaging owning a car thats only going to appreciate in value thats win win. You ever need to sell your worked up vspec you will never get your money back. At least with a z tune you can enjoy super car performance and at a minimum break even if your unlucky enough to sell it.

If I had one the most driving it would do is an occasional late night drive and a track day here and there to really enjoy the performance of it

Nismo Z-Tune only holds a higher value because of what Nismo did to it.

Yeah, thats the truth. Only cause Nismo touched it thoroughly that it is worth so much.

A car with performance and has the ability to appreciate is a win for me. So in this case, the car does perform and has a name and the added bonus of appreciating value.

Garage queen, in a lot of ways yes.

But I reckon a ztune with 200000km would still be worth a lot haha.

Terry, how long ago was this? Just trying to scope a timeline for the 65% appreciation.

Forget the Z-tune - lets start talking about the KPGC10 coupes - how many of them are in Oz, and how much would they be going for?

I thought they were more expensive than this

Just needs the front diffuser

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
