What happened
No sale at Heathwood, Queensland. Absent from the sold results and back on Collecting Cars from 2 October, so there is nothing to grade against.
The workingWritten 18 Sep 2026, unedited since

A 2014 Nissan R35 GT-R Premium Edition running on Collecting Cars out of Heathwood, Queensland — originally red, now under a matte grey vinyl wrap, over the factory red and black leather with carbon-fibre trim, 29,673 kilometres indicated and not warranted, Australian-delivered and registered, VIN JN1GANR35A0460009, carrying a full Bensopra widebody kit with the Bensopra rear wing, 20-inch ADV1 wheels over gold Brembo callipers, an Amuse R1000 exhaust, HKS blow-off valves, Top Secret intake components, an EVE Performance radiator, an Overtake Titan Saikou intake manifold and a selectable three-map tune.

The first thing to say is that this is not the car this record describes

The R35 entry in this library is the pre-facelift car, 2009 to 2011, 357 kilowatts, and it says so in its own header. This is a 2014 DBA on the facelift engine at 404 kilowatts and 632 newton metres, three model years past the end of that run. The library has no facelift record, has never measured a facelift premium, and not one of the fifteen counted Australian results on this page publishes a build year except the $115,500 Perth car, which is a 2011. So the single largest question on this lot cannot be answered from the evidence underneath it, and everything below is written with that in front of it rather than behind it.

What the model returns, line by line, against $79,000

Plus 18 for 29,673 kilometres against the 75,000 this record expects of a 2014 car. Plus 12 for model year, which is this record's within-run term at its ceiling and is the only thing in the stack standing in for the facelift. Plus 3 for the Premium Edition interior. Minus 8 for the bodykit and the wrap, minus 6 for the tune, minus 2 for the exhaust, minus 2 for the wheels and minus 2 for the intake and cooling work. Composed, plus 10.8 per cent, and $87,530.

The cap does not bind,

Which is worth saying because it has bound on four of the last six calls from this desk.

Two of those lines are doing all the work and they pull against each other

Strip the modification rows and a standard 2014 Premium at this distance returns $107,539. Strip the year term instead and the same car returns $78,152. Nine and a half thousand dollars of this call rests on a figure the Australian market has never confirmed, and eighteen and a half per cent rests on a penalty this record measured only once.

The penalty is the measured half and it was measured six days ago on this page

On 12 September a wrapped, widebodied R35 with canards, louvres, decals and a retrimmed cabin ended at Nunawading with no result after reaching $76,500. Twenty days earlier and twenty kilometres away a lighter-kitted car of the same year made $80,000. This record wrote that pair up as the first direct local evidence that a cosmetic transformation on an R35 costs more than eight per cent rather than less, and it arrived as a failure rather than as a price. This desk called that lot at $72,000 and it scored neither way.

The car underneath is a different proposition from that one, and the difference is not small

The September car was a 2008 Japan-delivered import, complied two months before the sale, unregistered, on 72,595 kilometres indicated. This is Australian-delivered, registered, on 29,673 kilometres, six model years newer and 47 kilowatts stronger. Reading the September failure straight across would price the kit and ignore the car.

What the model has no row for, and it matters here

This car carries a modification plate. On a widebodied, tuned GT-R that is the difference between a car a buyer can register and a car a buyer has to argue about, and it is the single most common reason a heavily modified Australian performance car sells to a smaller room than its condition deserves. The Personal Property Securities Register and the Austroads written-off and stolen databases are both clear, there are two keys, and the last recorded work is a genuine Nissan transmission service with genuine GR6 fluid at around 27,500 kilometres in November 2025, which is the service a buyer of a tuned R35 asks about first.

And what the model cannot see at all is the gearbox risk behind a tune

This record carries an option worth plus 6 for original turbos and a standard tune verified, and this car is the inverse of it: a three-map tune, a replacement intake manifold and aftermarket blow-off valves on a GR6 transaxle with a known appetite for torque it was not sold with. The minus 6 tune row prices a flash. It does not price a transaxle.

The call is $86,000

A shade under the model's $87,530, on one reason and no more of it: the only direct local evidence this library holds on a transformed R35 is a lot that did not clear, and this desk has already paid for reading a failure as a slow vendor rather than as the market answering. The 456 GTA was relisted after a failure, had its reserve lowered mid-auction, stopped at $67,000, and the call on it was 37.3 per cent high. That is the widest miss in this log and it is why nothing is added on top of the arithmetic. Buyer's premium of six per cent plus GST sits over the hammer, so $86,000 is about $91,676 to the buyer. Predicted hammer $66,000 to $109,000, midpoint $86,000.

The band is twenty-three per cent below and twenty-seven above, and it is the first call from this desk under the re-measured interval

Scored leave-one-out across 455 recorded Australian sales, a value with two or more local results behind it needs those widths to contain 85 per cent of hammers, and it is lopsided because prices are. This record carries fifteen. The earlier rule read the interval off sale count and narrowed it as comparables accumulated; measured properly, past the first Australian comparable more comparables do not narrow anything.

What would put it over

A room that prices a 29,673-kilometre Australian-delivered facelift car first and a Bensopra kit second, which is what the engineering plate and the transmission service invite it to do. Two of the three lowest-distance results on this page made $90,000 and $99,600.

What would put it under

The last transformed R35 in front of this market did not find a buyer at $76,500, and both Black Editions in this record landed twelve and twenty-two per cent under what the distance curve asked for, which says this market is not paying up for a specified R35 at the moment. If the room reads the wrap and the manifold before it reads the odometer, this call is high.

Where this number came from

The call is a prediction of one hammer. The record behind it is the Australian evidence for the model as a whole, and it carries its own grade for how much of that evidence exists.
