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.

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
