Car is completely stock, has Nismo exhaust and front pipes but standard dumps :(

So that's what... another 10k in mods to get it to 300+rwkw?

Maybe not that bad given I can do the labour myself - not the tuning.

EDIT: Looks like prices have changed a bit and it's not that expensive to get 300-330 on 98.

-7 or -5s
Injectors, Fuel pump, Cam gears
Cams not necessary but would help (and sound lovely)

PFC and tune
Full exhaust, some conjecture on 3 or 4"
AFMs

Standard intercooler and airbox fine.

Speaking to the salesman, not good.

"With the vehicle itself the price is fixed we are not discounting the vehicle so it’s probably not the vehicle for you in that case.

To buy this vehicle at today’s exchange rate it would be even more expensive."

"
Irreplaceable for that money."

I'm trying to get parts thrown in, anything.

I've just sent one final email to say is there absolutely no room for negotiation in this?

As much as I love the car, when you seen fairly nice examples around for 55k (white) with a built motor, 59k more or less for a stocker (even a nice VS2) seems a bit expensive for my budget.

This SAUWA R34 for $55K ~ was always my Benchmark for pricing, to date i still think it was the best value R34 to sell in recent years

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/446039-r34-gtr-v-spec-5a-import/

Other solid buys to memory are (forgive me if the values are off, these are listed prices;

Matt's KING87's GTR $55k ~ with genuine Z-Tune guards/bonnet, 6-pot Brembos, Mines piping - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/146573-r34splease/page-149

and Tangomatt's GTR - $90K ~ ~ with Everything, basically a 1/3 price Z-Tune with more - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/287693-racepace-built-r34-gtr-nur-rb28-v-cam/page-1

Another soild one was this Black V-Spec with HKS V-Cam pushing 340awkw for $65K ~ - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/401854-fs-r34-gtr-v-spec-with-hks-v-cam-ex-tpg34r/

The missus was not pleased about the prospect of a 55k car that still needs another 5-7k spent and won't see much track time lol

She was more OK with the idea of 55k finished and I would actually use it a few times a year on track.

With that VS2 I'd be reluctant to go harder than 7/10s I think...

I want it all for 55 lol

Vspec2 all the bolt ons etc.

The reality is that doesn't seem to exist.

The other issue I have is being jaded by the QLD car.

Now having a harder time justifying that kind of coin for a 15yr old car.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
