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....

Maintenance is not that bad in cost if you do it yourself, I prefer a car out of warranty use aftermarket brake parts different diff and trans fluids, can buy a transmission out of the UK for under 10K if it craps itself.

The people buying the cars out of warranty will be GTR lovers that are handy on the tools and use them on the track and could not afford a new one like me :)

No other higher end car is depreciating "gracefully" at the moment when you look at pricing out of warranty.

have a look on carsales what f430's, Aston vantage's and 997.1 turbos are worth

just pointing out that a lot of private 2009 R35's are still listed at 115-120k on carsales, when most 2009 sales actually went for 95-105k, some even around the 90k.

A Qld sunshine coast dealer even listed a super silver 2009 with 50,00km on the clock for 125k. they were shocked by my offer. I see now they have the car listed for 115k

anyway, just some feedback for those looking for facts about recent sales.

Lets just say I wouldn't be paying under 110 for a low km mint 2010 when you can get a 2011 for under 120! :yes:

Yeah, a mate of mine just sold his white mint 2011 for $125k yesterday to fund his Audi R8 project. His was totally unencumbered (owned it outright), with 14,xxx kms on the clock... For sure the cars not owing $ and with owners on a mission will go cheaper - I remember when I was searching for my GT-R, most of the 2nd hand 2009's and 2010's I checked out at the time had more $$'s encumbered/owing than the carsales list price, and the owners I contacted sounded like drug dealers...... I still can't complain getting a new 2010 for $138k though...

I only owe about $30k on mine, and that'll be gone well before the warranty expires.

Hey Wardski, I too would be very happy with the price that you picked yours up for (I also bought a 2010 well after the 2011 s had been released, but didn't drive as hard a deal as you did) anyway, in some small way you are probably contributing to the devaluation of our cars in bandying about what you paid. How about keeping what you paid off the public forum and if some one really wants to know they pm you? No offence intended.

I honestly think everyone here is negatively contributing.. But that's life, we all have to deal with depreciation.. no offence intended.

Well the car is scheduled to arrive this Friday.

Using CEVA logistics.

I must say I am feeling the anticipation of this one almost as much as the first one.

I promise not to mod this time.

      Custom Exhaust Questions - RB25DET Neo

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I did say "2x Magnaflows" then referred to a Varex. So to un-confuse that, my rear muffler is hot-swappable with a Varex. When I had a RB Turbo, I had the 2x Magnaflows, then went LS and though "Oh that's way too loud" and ordered a Varex. A mid muffler will definitely help a lot, even if straight through. SP Mufflers can make anything as big or as small as possible, which will help even more. Looking at my own exhaust I could make the muffler twice as long if I wanted to. Or you could go crazy and get 2x mufflers from SP and full every remaining space with muffling. In my experience closing the Varex makes the car run VERY rich (obviously). I'd say adding a muffler *will* affect things, on a technical, physics level, but I don't think you'd need a retune as the actual effect would be the car running a *tiny* bit richer due to more restriction, on a strictly physics level, but you kind of don't have any option if you want the car to make less sound.

      My BMW 335i

      I must have read 100 DIY's and watched 200 DIY Youtube videos with most people saying just grab a new cover and, well, despite my normal aproach to these things (replace it all!!) I didn't get a cover. I don't know why I didn't, I'd already ordered a bunch of bits from FCP and it would have made perfect sense to put that in the order.  Anyway, I'm not getting OEM as its just crazy money, even from the states its 900 ish delivered. So, I got an OE Elring one, same as they sell at FCP but local so I can get this fixed this week. Our X5 is waiting for a new diff so we find ourselves in a common scenario of having 2 broken BMW's on the driveway! 🤣

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Big thing is available inputs for sensors and not having to run multiple expander boxes and software packages for different things why motec is up there. The link ecu and an aim pdm32 was a combination I looked at early on so get ecu, dash and pdm in one go. Aim logging software is pretty good and has all the tracks I will ever drive. Having logging setup with tracks already available is a big thing for myself so can click drop down and go. Thing that I keep seeing is the support what's needed and having a package that people in the know are familiar with as learning a new platform is time consuming.    Got a few boxes that arrived with bits while I was away so hopefully will fit a few sensors and make a start on the dump pipe today. Going to be interesting fitting a 3.5 inch exhaust on this and keeping it above the chassis rails.
