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,

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
