Should've picked BIMG instead of IMG, but pretty interesting this thing looks bone stock except that exhaust, figure most BNR34s would be mostly modified coming over.

^Ferrari lol.

I think a clean one like this might be around $30-35k?

I'm not too sure. A Beyond member is bringing over a V-Spec for around that price.

Saw this at the Beyond meet. Looks real nice :thumbsup:

About 30+k

Only thing in wondering is if these cars can turn a profit here once their over and all safetied... I know a lot of people don't want to go through the importing process.

A quick search shows there were only about 12 thousand made and they sold, brand new, for $31,000 US ( 33,500CAD)

From what I've seen it's between 25-50k straight price before importation.

Yeah it's interesting there's that select group of vehicles that are also coveted in Japan like KPGC10s/70-73 S30s/AE86s/NA1s and NA2s/ and these cars, all still high up there in terms of base price.

KPGC10's are like $100,000+ for a legitimate numbers matching vehicle. The guys on gtr.co.uk have a big thread about it. R34's have a long way to go before they reach that level of collectibility.

Crazy, so many selections around that price range! Such a big price gap from an R32 GT-R to R34 GT-R

I don't know where you are getting this info from but a brand new BNR34 STARTED at $90k, in 1999.

Honestly it's a nice car and during the early to mid 2000's, this definitely would've been a dream car for many. But today, it's largely irrelevant. So many cars made today can equal or beat it's specs, at half the price (unless of course your goal is to build a 1000+ HP car). So other than owning something you've dreamed of owning as a kid, I'd say move on.

I still dont get the hype. Yes a R34 was a killer nice car in its day with a motor that has a ton of potential... But for 35k (which is what that one cost) I would pass and get something else.

Does anyone care to explain the reason why this vehicle is so expensive?

faiz999
06-18-2014, 03:17 PM
not sure but i can take a guess.

limited availability, pretty sought after model, the car from fast n furious 2 and probably one of the best cars from GT3.

i love the styling, even if its a big dated but id agree with the panel here and say at 30k+ its not worth it yet.

DeleriousZ
06-18-2014, 03:19 PM
I'd say it's so expensive because it is one of those 'iconic' jdm cars.

clem24
06-18-2014, 03:45 PM
Again, keep in mind that these were probably close to $100k OTD in 1999, so $30k isn't unreasonable. A Type R of similar vintage, which were what, like $30k OTD is still fetching close to $15k.

What people WILL find out is that they'll get one, brag to their friends about it, and then realize it's no quicker than a BMW 335i (just think about how similar, spec wise the 2008 335xi coupe and the R34 is and yet the 335xi gets no where near the praise as the R34). Then find out what it costs to replace the windshield, and we'll be flooded with unwanted BNR34s.

But then I wouldn't have an RS Cosworth.

Exactly.

Some people are car enthusiasts and would rather have a cool car (R34) than a new 335i :nut:

I think the solution is to just try to know someone who will buy it so you can take it for a drive and that's that hahaha.

When the R32s were starting to become legal, I really wanted one.. Like totally researched the hell out of it. Of course never went through with it and now seeing all the shit/trashed ones going around (plus all the issues associated with RHD), have absolutely zero desire to have one.

Im interested to hear what vehicles will do that for half the price? [25k US approx when using N1 GTR as comparison]

This car is more around the 320ish hp mark stock, just the gentlemans agreement put it @ "278hp". Add simple modifications and the power quickly bumps up while still being streetable.

It's the mentality that everything is so cost focused that people don't buy something that they really want. If a $1500 windshield is going to stop you from getting your dream car than it obviously doesn't mean much to you. There is a reason why 335I sell better than R34 GTR. The GTR is only right for certain people. A person that is considering a 335I has a high chance that they have no interest or even considered purchasing a R34 GTR. A 335i doesn't have anything near the praise of a GTR because there is simply no legacy, no one wants to spend the money to build a fast 335i, and it's really just a basic entry level 3 Series BMW that anyone can lease off the lot. The R34 GTR has AWD designed around racing, not the shitty daily driver AWD from a XI.

I don't like R34s myself but I can see why some people do. I've owned a 335XI and I know why the GTR is so much better performance wise and tuning potential.

I know I did a bunch of research on this back in 1999... Here's the most reliable page I have and only because it actually lists a yen price:

http://www.supercars.net/cars/1397.html

So 4,998,000 yen. According to http://www.oanda.com/currency/historical-rates/, the Cad -> Yen rate fluctuated between 70 and 83, so we'll pick 76. 4,998,000 / 76 = $66k CAD. This is just the base model though and if you wanted the V-Spec models, prices jump up. So I guess the answer lies somewhere in between LOL.

Sorry I meant brand new in 1999, not vs. used prices.

Guys, don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic car and it was something I dreamed about too, but in 1999. What was fast in 1999 just isn't really that fast anymore.

As I said in my first post on the first page.. If people are buying this because they think they are going to get a 2013 Supercar, they are going to be severely disappointed because in today's terms, it isn't all that impressive. As I mentioned above, just compare it to the 2008 BMW 335xi Coupe. I'll pull the GT-R specs from the page above and the 335xi specs from HERE (http://www.thecarconnection.com/specifications/bmw_3-series_2008_2dr-cpe-335xi-awd_dimensions):

Engine: 3.0 I6 TT vs 2.7 I6 TT
0-60: ~5 vs. ~5
1/4: ~13 vs. ~13
Skidpad: ~.89g vs. ~.89g
Weight: ~3,700lbs vs. ~3,600lbs

Would I rather have a GT-R vs. the 335xi? Yup. But it's only because it was a dream car, not because of performance compared to what's on the road today.

I've already addressed these.. GTR to build 1000+ HP car. But most people importing these JDMs have the cheap speed mentality. And many people singing the praises (of a stock) 1999 GT-R don't realize that it's specs aren't all that impressive in 2014.

Again I agree with you - it's a fantastic car. All I am trying to do is bring people back down to Earth.

Spending 30k+ on a starting platform for a 15 year old car is far from "cheap speed mentality" an R34 GTR is a far cry from 95% of the JDM junk we see here.


I don't know why you keep bringing up the "specs" of the car, as stated above ppl are buying the car because of the legacy, not ground breaking performance, there are civics out there that will walk circles around this car in every aspect that can be purchased for 10k or less, but its still a civic. :drama:

I keep bringing up specs just to prove reinforce my point that the car is generally irrelevant and that I agree that you'd only import it because it's the car you've dreamed of owning. I've dreamed of owning one too, but the reason for it is it's performance. See where I am getting it?

The car is completely relevant, you are probably the only person I have talked to that would want one for performance only, its the heritage and prestige of owning such a limited car that do it for most ppl, if you want to build or buy a 1khp monster go to the states and buy a built supra for 50k. :dunno:

It's the car these guys grew up watching. Doesn't matter if it's the slowest thing on the road, it's the chance to own a big part of their childhood and adolescence.

Delorean DMC-12 was supposed to be an Irish performance car and it failed incredibly at that. People still buy them. Why? Because they're a pop culture icon and people grew up watching them in Back To The Future. Yet performance was the original reason that car was created.

Nobody in Canada is going to import an R34 for performance. I think we all agree on that.

Really? I disagree in a big way, $10K for a good condition R32 GTR, then add $20K into a performance build.......and a stock R34 GTR is faster how???:dunno: :nut:

Nurburgring Lap Times:

R33 GT-R - 7:59

BMW 335i - 8:26

I would assume an R34 would be even quicker. 27 seconds is a hell of a difference. GT-R's shine on the track, so that's really where we should be comparing performance.

EDIT:

I don't know about everyone else... and I know this is a thread about R34's, but I would buy an R33 GT-R based almost entirely on performance. Tough to find a car that will do the ring in 7:59 that costs $15k or less. That is a LOT of car for the money.

If the R34 was LHD, and landed here in Calgary with all inspections done etc...I wouldn't be opposed to paying 30k plus. It is a legendary car...I will never own a RHD drive in Canada though, let alone pay 30g's for one. I hate them...That's a whole new argument though, and I'm sure it has been beaten to death.

What's the details on that? Condition, mileage, history, auction/private, overall price to get it to Calgary?

I still dream of having a blue VSpec. Still have a model car of it :thumbsup:

I saw my first R34 GT-R today. I was sitting at a patio on 17th and a white one cruised by while giving an obligatory rev. Sounded really good, albeit a bit douchey haha. Any idea how many are here already?

So far it's just the white one, non vspec he just got a tomei exhaust put on and it's really loud for my liking. Mine will be the second one in Calgary hopefully and first vspec.

I've been at New Westminster port a few times since the new year and there has been a R34 GTR or two each time, NUR specs included. And I agree, the Tomei exhausts are nice, but it's a straight pipe connected to a single straight through can at the end, way too loud and obnoxious for street IMO.

has anybody looked into importing a LHD GTR? it will definitely cost an arm and a leg, but i'm sure there are those on Beyond who are willing to shell up the cash.

Some shop in the Philippines called Autoplus has a really immaculate LHD R34 GTR. Bunch of pics floating around on different forums. I believe it was purchased in Japan (obvs) and then it was exported to Australia? where it had the conversion done and then brought into the Philippines. The conversion is well done but probably big $$.

I bought new wheels already, which are gonna be installed on the car before it leaves. I'm probably gonna have to ship the stock rims or sell them in japan.. Not sure what I'll do.

The LHD driver conversion is pretty pointless.. The amount of stuff you have to change/modify is absurd. You have to get rid of abs or move it as it will come in the way of the master cylinder, the interior never works out. The MFD is angled badly and the hand brake is on the wrong side...
The Nür isn't allowed to be imported for another 2.5 years as it was available in 2002 only.. Probably just a vspec with Nür decals

If it's the same one that I've seen in front of Lazy Monkey a couple times. It's owned by a relatively young Taiwanese kid.

^ya that's the guy who own this I'm 99% sure

Front end looks more fucked than the back end? Failed drift attempt? Or a rear end causing him to shoot into a piece of metal as strong as captain Americas
