Hi I am thinking of buying another Skyline. I did have a nice R34GTT however it caught alight and burnt to the ground. Thank God for Shannons. The question is what should I expect to spend. I have seen a nice 370 GT asking price ,private,$270000.Is this a fair price given it is 5 years old.

Cheers

Steven

Why would you not post pics, km and specs, so we can give you a real opinion? If it has 200,000km, then it is a crap deal. If it has 10,000km it is amazing deal, but has probably been wound back.

Welcome to the forums, but please use your brain when you put up a new thread.

I would try to negotiate down to $240K AUD, that would be a massive saving. With the $30K you'd save, you could even buy a second one - lol.

I notice you did not have a R34 GT base spec....so why go base spec V36?

Buy mine, I will take about $235K off what you are expecting to pay....

Just go to the carsales/whatever ad, select and right click all the text in the address bar at the top of your screen (the www....... bit), then in the reply window of SAU hit the 'link' button just above where you are typing (it looks like the link of a chain) and press 'control+v' keys to paste the address, hit 'ok', then hit 'Post'

For $27,000 it is going to be either deal of the century or an absolute piece of crap.

At that price i would imagine that it wouldn't be an SP, would have higher kms and/or have a pretty low auction grade.

Post up more detail though, who knows.

This must be the one that you mean.

Listed as Type S but based on the small wheels and lack or MT or paddle shift, as mentioned above I think that you will find that it is actually just a base model 370GT. For $27,000 its still not necessarily a bad buy but it is the lowest range 370GT that you can get.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
