Value Of Auto R34 Gtt

[liamv4696]

Hope this is the right area.

Was on gumtree this morning looking for skylines as usual, and there must've been a shipment of imports because there was a few skylines and evos uploaded from wangara (car shop suburb for all you non WA people)

I did find a two stock R34s which I was so happy to see. however the manual was 18k and the Auto was 11k

This seems way to expensive, are they overcharging? Because if I could get that auto cheap I'd just do an Auto to manual conversion with an r33 gearbox and follow an old thread I found on here

So what is the currrent value for auto and manual R34s (stock) that you guys think?

Are you for real? If you can't even afford 11k you can't afford to own an r34

yeh I am, I dont get why there's such a huge price jump from R33s to R34s... There was a gtst R33 for $3500 on carsales in FEB that I saw.

Between $65000 (LOL) and $7200 ATM

And dont even think about converting a auto to manual, the outlay in parts and labour whould negate any savings made in buying a POS Auto

[liamv4696]

labour isnt really a problem, dad rebuilt a few cars, I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, and cousin owns a repair shop with a hoist. And I'm not looking to increase the value. I just hate auto's with a passion

ok a few things, there will be a big difference in the value of cars that are the same. you may get 2 r34's, both manual, etc that are vastly different in price. a lot of this will come down to general condition of the car. some will also come down to one owner being more eager to sell his car than the other.

as for the auto vs manual price difference, there will always be a difference in price. the 18k manual one is at the upper end of the price range. you will certainly find cheaper ones around. unless you could get the auto for a lot less than 11k i wouldn't bother doing a conversion. for starters, parts will cost you a few thousand dollars to do it properly. will still cost you a few grand to do a half arse job. then there is all the dicking around with getting the wiring sorted so that the ecu uses the right maps (most people don't do this).

i would also say the same thing about importing a car vs buying locally. don't bother importing. buy locally. that way you can personally go and inspect the car, take it for a drive and see what it's like. you can inspect the body, listen to the engine and get a general feel for what sort of condition it's in rather than just taking someone elses word for it.

you may also want to do plenty of research of running costs and maintainence costs of a turbo car before you get too far in the process. things like how expensive insurance will be (a lot for a young driver), running it on premium unleaded, regular oil changes, etc. plus the cost of fixing common problems such as failing coil packs. they aren't for everyone.

a reasonable low K R34 auto SEDAN will cost you around $9000 and have seen manual conversions on ebey (with all the hardware) for around $2500

Basic Rule:- Production Numbers of the R34 were much less than the R33 > Join the dots.
