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 +

Go to the wreckers for that price. lolol One sold in QLD for 35k about 3 weeks ago from carsales. Not sure on your luck for another. GL

ha ha ha ha ha yeah no way in hell will you get a good clean r34 vspec for that

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.

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
