just wondering how much youd pay for an r34 n/a, basically want 2dr manual with preference colour being silver, have found two in sydney, both 99 models, stock standard, one with 70,000km for 28k and the other with 36,000km for 29,000 however i find the 36,000km hard to believe, these are surely a tad expensive (both dealer cars) and really am only willing to pay up to 26k, should i be able to get a 2dr manual within my budget or are these decent prices? cheers

hi reggin,

I just got a '98 R34 N/A for $25,000 (but $4,000 less for trade-in of my old car = $21,000 owing), so yeah you're not far from getting what you want for $26,000. this car was originally priced at $27,000.

Mine is semi-auto, 2dr coupe, dark blue, 25,300KM, perfect inside, runs great. only downside? no spoiler.

you're lucky to be looking for a manual so you have so many more options than I did.

Good luck, keep looking and take your time like I did.

just had a look at the yellow skyline for sale on nissansilvia.com, very nice however however have just had a yellow lancer so dont want another yellow car,

not really all that keep on importing either, sure i could save 5grand but i think id rather buy one locally so i dont have to wait 3mths,

and WPNR34 maybe im looking in the wrong places but most of the gt r34s for sale in oz seem to be auto tiptronic and/or 4dr, any advice on where to look for more manuals would be greatly appreciated!

and do you really think the 36,000km for a 6yr old car would be genuine? seems a bit suss to me!

cheers guys

I dunno, most places I went to in Melbourne were selling manuals over autos. Just check out carpoint.com.au and carsales.com.au, compare the number of auto and manual Skylines available.

I was sus at first about the number of km, but yeah, to be honest there's no real way to tell even with log books/history. But irrespective of that, I still would of paid the same amount even if it had 70,000km on it so I'm happy with it. the interior is in immaculate condition so it doesn't seem so unrealistic. I've also seen a few '96 R33 skylines with around 40,000km. if only there was a definate way to tell :P

mine also has a Pioneer deck RRP $1,500, 18'' alloy mags on it and brand new tyres RRP $170 each too.

G'day Champ... I actually noticed JapLink Motors on Parramatta road were selling a 1999 GTS R34, not sure if it was 2 or 4 door (think it was 4), but it only had approx 40,000km, and was an absolute gem, they were only asking for $22,990.

cheers mate, im heading to sydney next week to have a look at a few so ill add it to the list :)

  • 3 weeks later...

I got my 1998 NA R34 in perfect condition with 31000kms 2 years ago for just under 32000$. Had an Altia kit (often mislabelled a Nismo kit) and a massive spoiler. Goes well as well, and that's without mods. Good luck finding one which meets your budget - they are great first cars!

    • 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.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
