    depending on the quality of the job done on the r34 conversion id say your price is close but still a little too high. its a buyers market now as much as i hate to say it i rarley see r32s actually selling for over 10k especially wiht a stock motor.

    Yea, unless the panel fitment is absolutely perfect, you have a mainly stock car with some do-dads and an R34 nose on it. The only R34 conversion that has any pull with price is an authentic Bee-R 324 kit because of the shear rarity of it and the fact that Joe-blow from anywhere outside of Japan and an authorized dealer/installer will never get their hands on an origional kit. It's a pity really, I don't much care for the Bee-R nose, I much prefer what you have, OEM.

    The F-Con Pro is very nice and some of the other bolt-ons are worth some money but the only way to get serious coin (right now that's between $15k and $20k) out of a GTR is with MAJOR work, like a fully built motor/trans or a GETRAG 6spd conversion. Even I would have a hard time getting $15,000 out of my car right now, there's more than double that into the car in aftermarket stuff and engine work.

    I would say that $12,000 is right in the ball park, and you still might have to wait a while for that. Skyline market is soft right along with the rest of the markets for everything else. It's just a bad time for people to spend money on these kinds of toys.
