not a problem mate, all the best.

Minter. Love cars like this and wish I had the funds for one... One day. Tefu - your stock SMIC is still doing a sweet job in my S14!

oh you still have it hahahah that was a long time ago.

Quite Surprised this immaculate GT-R hasn't sold yet.

Yea its getting plenty of interest, nearly 2500 detail views on carsales so far, no phone calls but, only txts..

i think, timing, price, and location are putting people off. no one seems to interested in paying premium for a premium example, i knew it would be hard given alot of the market is flooded with cars stating very similar conidition and kms, although im sure more most are the dodgey imports that have been brought in over the last 5+ years with some heavy windbacks etc... end of the its more of a buyers market so i can understand people wanting to buy things very cheap, i was the same looking for mine.

I think first to see the car will most likely buy it.

Yes, your spot on. People would rather pay 10k-15k less then your asking price, and buy one that's got rust, "low genuine km's" which are most likely dodgy. Everyone is scared to pay a premium for an Immac genuine GT-R. At the end of the day it's well worth it. I'm always checking the market in Japan, and you'd be lucky to find a standard GT-R/V-spec with genuine 50,000km's or less for under $40k, mind you that's Japan price. Still have to allow a good 10k to bring it in, compliance etc, but people don't understand.

Perfectly stated....

Here's a clean example of a R34 GT-R non v-spec in bayside blue with genuine low km's which sold for 3,655,000yen which is about $41,000AUS.

http://exportcar.jp/en/component/auctstat/?view=auctstatdetail&id=ExNaz70s3T1evi

By the time it is landed, complied, new tyres and service (compliance rules), registered and other little things, this clean GT-R would owe you about $52,000AUS roughly. So people clearly need to understand that these cars are becoming rare to find in this condition, but not only that, they are also actually hold value and appreciating rather then depreciating. You can buy a R35 GT-R in japan for the price of R34 GT-R's in japan now.

Yep thats exactly right, if anyone is looking at buying a 34R, please look into the auction sale historys, and match them with the car prices that have been imported here in the last year against the kms and condition, becomes very clear that something is very off!

the above car still represents great value, very similar price to mine (mine is a little deerer, but giving its on LMGT4s i think its more than fair). people just get put off by a price tag of 10k+ for what they think is the same thing....

but it also comes down to trust in that mine isnt another one of the dodgey ones out there, photos can be decieving (was shocked when i was inspecting some, in the pics they look like show cars, when i go to see it, the front bumper looked like it had been sprayed in the back yard, and wasnt even fully covered in paint haha). All i can say is that perspective buyers will not be dissapointed when coming to look at this car.

This car was actually advertised as soon as i started looking for a gtr, took me 3 months to actually go look at it as it wasnt really what i was after (wanted a purple or black vspec/vspecII ideally). when i did though i couldnt turn it down, one of the few cars i could feel comfortable paying a large sum of money for, as others just seemed in too poor coniditon to be paying 50k for.

I have looked at a lot of GTR's here and done history checks in Japan and most of them have dodgy km's. I've also done 3 years of auction research and I always check the market daily, and when GTR's sell in japan with under 50-60K km's, your not looking at anything under $40K for a standard GT-R or V-spec. so do the maths, you see some dealers advertising on carsales GTR's with 30-40k bullshit km's for prices ranging from 50-55k. Doesn't make sense cause that's what it will owe you landed if it really was that many km's, so clearly they are buying GTR's with 100,000km's+ if not more and advertising same price as IMMAC examples as Anthony's (OP) to kill the market like that. Do your homework guys!!

Thats it mate thanks.

whats worse is when they advertise those immac 40-50k kms examples for 40-50k.... then you can probably bet its been in an accident, or has extensive rust etc ha

That's right. Like I said one in the condition of yours is 48-52k landed. So the ones advertised for 50k at dodgy dealerships with "low km's" are as dodgy as they get. If it's going to owe you roughly 50k landed and complied with that much km's why would you sell it for that price again? Your a dealership you have to add your profit too. Clearly they are grade R or poor condition grade 1-3 with semi trailer km's.

Im still loving it!! But i have not called - dont want to waste your time!! Need to make sure the funds are ready and prepared.

Hopefully by then - you have not sold it yet =)

Still available.

Still no one has come to actually look at it. If your thinking about coming up for a look, be assured it wont dissapoint and be worth the trip!

Cheers,

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
