Been lurking on this forum for a while and I have also been monitoring the prices of 2009 GT-R's. I was wondering when you think the private prices will drop to around the 70-75K mark, recently a car was auctioned by Grays online with a final sales price of $73,500 the car had ~60,000km. There have been a few examples of 85K on carsales however these don't last long or they are JDM 2008 GT-R's.

I know a GT-R is an amazing car and great value for money, I just find it interesting that their depreciation has plateaued or at least the price at which they are advertised. With some of your expertise do you think these cars are likely to fall around the 70K mark around February/March next year? Would the 2015 Model effect the price this much and also with anticipation of the new GT-R result in a similar change.

Feel free to voice your opinions

I cant see them falling that far for a long time yet. Remember that these were a $170k car.

If you have the cash or the means, do it now. Who knows where you will be in 1 year from now.

2015 model will make absolutely no difference at all. R35 may.

You didn't mention the auction car sold for $73,500 commands another 7% which then takes it close to 80k. Then add all the other bits like rego, possible new tyres, servicing, etc and the cheap selling price now seems a lot more.

The 7% is a fixed fee so that should probably be included in the calculation, but servicing tyres and rego could be an addition to every car bought second hand, however there is always an added risk to buying cars from auctions and arguably you can do a better deal privately with cash in hand.

It's certainly a great car for the price, but its holding value better than an M3 or a C63 or nearly every other car made in that year at that price point. I usually take redbook with a grain of salt however their prices are

Private Price Guide $80,500 - $88,100 Trade In Price Guide $71,800 - $79,400

and for the premium

* Private Price Guide $82,700 - $90,400 * Trade In Price Guide $73,800 - $81,500 * Average Km 50,000 - 90,000

If R35 prices dropped to 70k, good R34 GTR would need to be selling for under 40k. used car market on performance cars is based on bang for your buck as well. Will be a few years till it gets to that price in my opinion.

I guess like with anything to anything the value of the car is what a person is willing to pay for it! I doubt many 15 year old cars can command what the BNR34's do these days, but there is always that bang for buck element with these cars

It states this on their site.

Buyers Premium

A buyers premium of 7% applies to all lots purchased in this auction.

For example: Successful Bid Price is $100.00 + 7% Buyers Premium = $107.00 Invoice Total

Yeh but even with the 7% premium we are still looking at 78,645, which is quite a difference from the Private/Dealer prices

Auction cars can tend to get a fair bit cheaper.

The trade off being you can't drive the car- that's very risky for an R35.

I imagine prices will hold firm for quite some time, these cars are in demand and production is low.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
