Bored as all f*ck at work, looking around on Carsales at what's on the market - Come across this.

What do you guys think? Reckon asking price is acheivable given how rare the car is?

Looks amazing.

Basically the asking price is justified by the rarity of what it is.

M-Spec's are just luxury models of the V-Spec's and the limited numbers made.

Equipped from factory standard with Ripple Control Shock Absorbers / Heated Leather Seats / Leather Steering Wheel with Silica Breath being the unique colour designated for this version of R34 GTR, along with other standard colours.

But considering the modifications that has been done, I'd say it's serious about performance.

Rarity is one thing but at the end of the day, it's just a luxury V-Spec.

I can't justify it for the price.

If I had $100,000 I'd just buy a base model R34 GTR, spend it on the modifications for a nice street / light track setup and still have quite a bit left over in the wallet.

Ha I have inspected this car and driven it. Came extremely close to buying it to.

It was owned by jerry on here, and I had an accepted offer on it for a tiny bit more than half the asking price currently! Have no idea what it sold for though.

I fell through with the sale because after a pre purchase inspection I found the whole front of the car had been resprayed and looked as though the rad support had possibly been replaced, was also told by educated ppl kms could be double or more (although they were still low).

It took alot of convincing to not buy the car though as it was presented beautifully.

Not to damage the sale, not sure if the guy is on here, but I dont think its worth 100k considering I have seen mspec nurs asking less!

DAAAAMN! Yeah let's hope the bloke still isn't on here or else that could potentially ruin the sale - Maybe that's why it's still up for sale.. judging by the pictures it does look immaculate but now that this has been uncovered. Could also help a potential buyer..

Nah the 60 year old mechanical engineer the guy mentions in the add is jerry, he is the previous owner I delt with. So I have no idea what he ended up selling it for, or who the current owner is.

Not out to ruin the guys sale just save fellow members the hassel if that is a deal breaker for them. If anyone is guinely interested in the car I could maybe dig up the old inspection report.

Yeah definitely can relate to the above. But i guess in the case of a bone stock M-spec it would be more of a collectors item would it not?

Depending on the modifications done... The price can swing either way...

But I'd say a bone stock M-Spec would be leaning towards it being worth more.

Due to the fact that it is still in it's original condition...

only M-spec in collector condition would be worth near that money in my opinion. the minute you put in HKS bits on it... it not longer is collector / investment level car, unless he has everything stock still with him, i don't think its worth that much.

Still a bloody nice BNR34.

Admittedly it is a beautiful car but severely overpriced imo. From memory there was an M-Spec on car sales 5-6 months ago with an asking price 25k less than this, albeit i know nothing of its quality.

Lol!

I bought my own car off the previous owners son. I had a good chat with the previous owner of this car today and know what it was sold for and it DEFINATELY isn't anywhere close to what this guy is asking! It was an immaculate car. The stock parts are still in the previous owners garage.

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
