Go look at this one, maybe he's willing to negotiate? Take it to a workshop and get it inspected, might help on negotiations.

^^ yeah, not that negotiable buddy.

your gonna get rubbish for that money pure and simple. i know the research and time i put into finding a car as clean as mine and the truth of it is you need to spend a little bit more to get something worth buying.

I don't agree with the others here. I'm in the market for a similar thing and would say that would be about the $ for a non v or m spec car. Just a plain GTR would be around that money. Neither the one in Qld nor the one in Vic that sold in the last week or so sold quickly at that price. They weren't snapped up super fast because they were priced low. Be patient and you should be right. I'd think this market is going to get more difficult to sell cars in the next year or so with the way money seems to be tightening up.

The NME34 car is and should be well out of that price range.

Well, in saying that, my first 34 V spec i had, i sold it for 42k as i had looked at another car and was buying that one so i was in a rush to sell, and it was well above average condition, everything was working, the usual small stone chips and few dings, new headunit, and it sold in 2 days of putting it up, so it is possible to snap up a good deal, just gotta be patient, and as Mick says, a few people are starting to sell cuz they simple cannot afford to keep it anymore due to personal reasons etc, just wait it out, save abit more so if the one your happy with does come along you can negotiate with abit more cash :)

Good luck mate

Correct. Subject to condition and pricing, the first 72 hours tend to be critical to that 'enquiry avalanche'

PS By the way, this post should be in the "Wanted to Buy" subforum at the bottom of scrolling.

OP

You can always use an importer an import one from Japan......

But for 35-40K, i'd only expect a high 3C grade car with high KM, and/or some blemishes. If lucky you might get away with a 4C grading.

It can be done, but i'd save an extra 10K and buy something nicer.

Have a look at all the threads on dodgy dealerships etc. Half of them buy C/R grade cars for less than 30K landed and sell them at 50K +

Hi toy515. I am an ex r34gtr owner myself. It is possible to get a clean R34 GTR V spec for 40k. First, you need to have the money ready so the seller knows you are going to buy the car. You gotta remember, most r34 gtr v specs are asking over 50k and i know a lot of you here will disagree with me. But the truth is, they just don't sell for that much. Who has 50k cash laying around for a 15 year old car? Anyway I bought my r34 gtr v spec in bayside blue back in 2010, for 40k with 78,000kms. The owner was asking 45k. It was a grade 4.5. I had an accident in it, got it repaired and sold it. I asked for 52k, and ended up selling for 42k. There have been quite a few clean 34 V spec which were asking 50k and ended up dropping down to 40-42k. So just be patient and have the money ready or finance approved according to your budget. You will get one you like.

Heres another tip. For 40k, why not go for Rx7 Spirit R Type A. After I sold my R34 GTR, I test drove one and amazing car. I didn't buy it because I chose to buy a immac Evo8MR which I highly regret that I didn't go for that Spirit R. Take my words.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
