Hi guys,

As topic title says,

What would you consider a fair price for this r34 gtr? Assuming the kms are genuine. Sold with auction papers but no de-rego papers.

I've had a look over it and looks like the drivers side front may have been in a bingle. Drivers side front wheel doesn't match the condition of the other 3 wheels.

New bonnet? and definitely has had a front bar respray.

I really like the all black interior.

Thanks for any input.

Justin.

$45K is about the going price for a stock and good condition / Base Model R34 GTR.

If it were a V-Spec then pay about $49K - $50K (stock and good condition).

If it were a V-Spec II then pay about $53K - $55K (stock and good condition) - $60K (if it were stock and tip top condition).

The trim on inside looks like vspec 2. So does the fuse box cover. Were these items different on later series non vspec?

I'm not sure, but It is listed as a series 2, of that makes a difference to the trim. I have just paid US$75 to get the Japanese history on it but that could take up to 10 days.

Good work mate. Best way to go. Its hard to tell from photos as interior and fuse box can be changed quite easily

Get it inspected by a reputable workshop and then talk price.

I'm a diesel mechanic by trade so I know what to look for. And I've owned an r33 r34 and a Stagea befoe.

Mechanically the car is fine. Other then little tell tail signs there may have been accident damage to drivers side front.

I've been looking at gtrs for around 2 months and this one seem a little pricey..... Compared to what they actually sell for...... Some v-specs go for anywhere between $40k for one nodded with 150000kms - $55 for an immaculate low kms.

So I'm just trying to gauge if the price is right.

So..... We agreed on a price, went to take one last look at it and pay a deposit.

Only I found more damage.

Driverside floor panel that flows into the guard has been replace and seems sealed using polyurethaned and its obvious. D/guard obviously replaced and resprayed. small damage behind strut. Then I also found p/side headlight mounts broken. So it looks like it may have had full frontend damage.

Then I asked for the auction sheet. It shows 79565kms car currently shows 79400..... Something is definitely dodgy here.

I'm steering clear. And feel sorry for who ever buys it.

No it would have been a waste of money getting it, as soon as i seen how extensive the accident damage was there was no way i was buying it. Not to mention the dodgy papers and speedo.

I hope someone doesn't buy the car unaware of this crap. And get ripped off. I can only hope who ever buys it pays the appropriate price.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
