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.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
