So have been toying with the idea of parting ways with the HMAS boatyMcboatfase.

Whats the general consensus on the market of r33 gtr's at the moment? I have a modified one and with the spread of pricing i have seen, its hard to gauge a sensible parting price.

Details are

-2.8 Spool kit (drag pro I Beams with the rod bolt upgrade and big pins)8.8:1 comp.

-Nitto Drag head gasket

-Nitto engine gaskets and seals

-Arp head and main studs

-Billet pump gears

-Nismo sump baffles

-Drilled oil returns, smoothed and enlarged head returns, usual restrictor

-Nismo engine and tranny mounts

-LS1 alternator conversion

-Breather tank/washer bottle combo

-Kelford 182-B cams, adjustable cam gears

-Supertech everything including inconel +1mm exhaust and SS +1 valves, titanium retainers, dual springs ect ect

-Extensive head work and squish mods

-460 intank lift pump into undercar surge with 2x044 E85 pumps into plazmaman rail and 2200cc's, turbosmart reg

-Turbosmart progate 50, GTW3884R (bigwheel) and manifold

-115mm cooler

-4" front to back drain pipe

-JB full monty 10" clutch

-S/Cut helical gearset in stock box

-GKtech FUCA, RUCA, Traction, RCA's, Lockout kit, Subframe bushes and spacers 

-MCA pro custom coilovers

-Mech rear diff (no Vspec junk)

-Cam trigger kit and ATI big balancer, Vi-pec plugin with e85 only tune, Morristech 15amp external ignitor and splitfires (never had a spark issue)

-Turbosmart e-boost street 40psi

-M&H drag radials on stock rims

-MP original paint colour car

-Sound deadened doors, rear inner guards, rear panels, parcel shelf and rear wall/under seat area

-Genuine 85k on the car, ive owned it since 2007. Paint is in fair condition, has the usual small blemishes as the wife drives this car to work. Makes an easy 500awkw at 27pound.

 

Whats a ballpark sort of price do we all think?  Interior is reflective of an 85k old daily driver. Is garaged, not driven in the rain and used as its built. Have not run a full pass at our local track as I have had numerous warnings about the 1/8th speed already but generally rolls through for high/mid tens. Genuine, honest all-day 10 second traffic light weapon. Only considering this to possibly fund a ProLine powertrain for another project.

This is the closest thing I've found to a valuation guide for these cars in the US. Prices are in USD. Keep in mind Hagerty is primarily concerned with stock/near stock cars and for anything modified they're not great at pricing those. Value of your mods are almost entirely dependent on what someone wants out of it. Someone like me that wants a lightly modified car is probably going to not value it as highly as someone who wants a built motor with that kind of spec.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
