Guys,

I miss having a street driven R35 and am looking at some on carsales. I am obviously looking to cast the net a bit wider though in here.

probably an 09. looking for low cost but very good interior and exterior. milage not such a problem as the engine, tranny and a host of other things will be given the boot for something more substantial.

dont know why but I have an itch for super silver or black

let me know if any of you know of a car or yourself have one you are selling that fits the billfor sale

There were half a dozen 09's on and around the 100k mark a few months back, but these seem to have been snapped up. I think you'll be hard pressed getting one around the 100-105k mark now that the 2012 price has pushed the 200k envelope... Last time I looked the high kms 09's were in the 115k range...

I think it would be fair to say that the prices you see listed on carsales are not what they sell for.

Sure thing. When I was in the hunt here in Brisvegas, I had to go as far as WA to get the right price.. good luck with your hunt! :thumbsup:

Anyone asking over 100k for an 09 out of warranty has got their hand on it!

Just like the owners asking $70-90k for 12-13 year old R34 GT-R Vspecs??........

Mark is right, market will dictate. Has to be noted that as the price rises for the 2012's and beyond, so to will values (warranty or not) of the 2nd hand market. It's just the way of the world.

Of course there will be those that need to sell ASAP (like Magic Nissan in WA who wanted to be rid of their new 2010 which had been sitting around in the show room for 14 months which I was thankful to pick up for a smashing price), and ultimately that is the deal worth waiting for..

stick it on a boat, bobs your uncle. about 50k. just another example of how much we get ripped off here.

Lol Wardski, if you think your R35 is going to be worth 70k when it's 12 years old, I think you know where your hand is! But then again if you leave it in the garage until then it maybe possible! :)

Hands are above the table... most of the time.. lol.. For sure if I'm doing 4000kms a year in my GTR, she'll be sub 50,000kms at 12 years.

In the end, who knows what the market will do. I'm amazed at how strong the dollars have stuck to both Nissan GTR R34's and even low kms Australian delivered Mitsubishi Evo IX's..

You can have a R34 GTR VSpec landed and complied for a LOT less than dreamer Carsales prices would have you believe. They simply aren't selling either if you watch them because they are way over priced in most instances. Come 6-12 months time the owners will wonder why they "didnt take the offer" they were given today, when they end up selling for even less... That's the way of the world :)

It's the 34 NURs / LE's that are still fetching high prices as the price in Japan is going up, but then they are rare - where a R35 - simply isn't.

35 pricing will continue to drop, it ain't about to go up.

I don't think anyone would disagree with this statement, but I highly doubt the 09's will drop into the $80-90k price bracket anytime soon. Sure they're not rare, but for the coin they're going for today, they're so much more bang for your buck than the Ltd Edition R34's..

I have seen some high kms 09's go for just under $100 - I see the incremental decrease in value being $3-5k a year, so give or take 3-4 years and we'll see the 09's in the $80-90k price range (dependent on kms/abuse/condition).

Are R35's depreciating faster than expected due to other things say...maintenance? Is your typical maintenance cost the same or just a tad higher than a R34 GTR (assuming stock cars)? I know for a fact that parts/aftermarket mods are much more than your predecessors. Or this is just a typical cycle when r34's were asking for an arm and a leg when first released?

Its hard to tell what the market is doing at the moment. Maintenance is fairly reasonable aside from major services (transmission oil), tyres and brakes, and I wouldn't expect this to affect car values..

What will be interesting is to see how much those 2009 model R35's out of warranty will go for in a years time - since the main concern with 2nd hand stock + modified GT-R R35's is the transmission failures (solenoids, gaskets, pressure sensors, shift forks, circlips, etc, etc...) and bell housings... These 2 points will be the main depreciation concerns as Nissan asks for $23,000 rubies to swap one out outside of the warranty period. I think it's just a shame that Nissan don't offer the same warranty here as the US (5 years) and there's still no "official" warranty extension available to purchase (rumours that Allianz was working with Nissan on offering an extension to owners seems to be 100% BS at this time).

For sure if the belly falls out of the "out of warranty" 2009 models, I'll be looking to move mine on around the 2.5 years ownership mark

Alternatively, I am not sure if you can cover "specific" parts of a car with vehicle insurance for mechanical failure, so that you don't have to have $23k sitting in a bank account in the unlikely event a transmission fails....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
