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

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

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
