Ask John from UniqueAutosports he's likely to know something like this.

Some more things i thought about: Taxes Import Duty - 10% of the FOB cost GST - 10% GST on FOB cost plus the Import Duty plus freight Luxury Car Tax - Threshold is $57,009 of the GST-inclusive portion of vehicle purchase price. If the assessable amount is less than $57,009 then no LCT is payable Stamp Duty - Stamp duty changes for cars over certain values in all states of Australia. In NSW stamp duty is 3% of the cars value up to $45,000 then 5% for the portion thereafter.

I imported mine almost a year ago now, went through Geoff at Prestige, no problems except translating some of the more technical jargon on the auction sheets... Prices vary wildly and you would be better served to look at one of the historical auction price websites like http://english.auto.vl.ru/auctions/ . Look at starting around 3,700,000 - 4,000,000 FOB for a good grade 4 car with low - reasonable KM's. The cars you see around for 2.7 - 3.2 million are probably grade R cars and you need to steer well clear. Other advice is: - Get a stock one as you will just have headaches trying to find stock parts to put back on it when it's over here for compliance. Even stock exhaust systems are tricky to come by. - Check to see if it has Brembo brake pads before you buy it. You can see the brembo logo on the pads without removing the wheel/caliper. If the car you want has no brembo pads factor in another $2k for a new set of pads for compliance. - If you get a car with good/new Japanese tyres on it, organise to get those tyres back from your compliance center after they put new cheapo brand tyres on it for compliance. I'm sure the Aust government knows best when it makes us use $700 nofrills tyres in place of brand new Bridgestone RE01R's..... - Steer away from cars with the factory sat navigation system installed. This cannot be used in Australia, consumes half your dashboard with controls, and adds useless weight. It's pretty hard to find the parts to replace it with the standard climate control panel too. - A lot of GTR V-Spec's are having their carbon fibre undertray go missing. Make sure the one you want has it installed before you bid. As for colours, the top three in my opinion: 1. Midnight purple pearl III (very rare, only a few hundred ever made) 2. Black Pearl Metallic 3. Bayside Blue White is very common it seems though. Sometimes to get an awesome car you might have to compromise on the colour.

Off a cliff maybe.

Who owns the other white M-Spec? Im interested as I passed him on fullers road one time and he gave me a wave and i didnt see him till the last minute and didnt wave back You probably saw wrxhoon's car, the only other white M-Spec going around NSW i believe.

You will find you need a new bonnet to do this swap. It's probably like a 2cm gap that is pretty noticable.

Right, I didn't know they would source a car for you as well. There's a pic of you in this (or next) months GTR magazine by the way.

Alright put me +1 down as i'll bring the missus.

I like the occasional mussel but an entire meal? Surely food poisoning is on the cards...

How responsive is it compared to stock? You have basically the same setup im going for except you're using 2560R's whereas im going for the HKS GT-SS's. I'm probably just gonna opt for 2xRB25 AFM's too. You're running the stock fuel pump minus the low/high resistor right? Overall a very nice result, grats!

It's not like there are any Z-Tunes to buy anyway. There's the press car and one customer has bought one so far. He hasn't taken delivery yet either... If you wanted a Z-Tune about the only way you're going to get one is to wait the 3-5 months it takes to build you one from your < 30,000 km GTR.

ARC make one for the R34 GTR in aluminium. But from seeing how the ARC one fits (or doesnt really fit) on the R33 GTR its maybe worth staying away from. Oh well Good luck with your group buy and thanks anyway.

Yeah these sell in Japanese shops for around 200 - 250 a set of generic brand chinese ones. There are dampers suitable for all models of Skylines but whether they fit without major hassle is another matter.

Old CD changer cable?

Any chance of a R34 GTR one?

Indeed Clark Rubber do have a wide selection of these type of things.

Fog light. Very useful in the northern parts of japan which can get dead foggy even in the middle of the day in the middle of summer.

Usually you pay stamp duty when you transfer the rego. Dealers do not usually pay it unless that's something you negotiate.

If one came up at auction it would likely have under 10,000 km on it and be next to new. Expect it to sell between 7,000,000 and 8,000,000 yen and land for lots more than that.

VBulletin may have looked good but thats about all it did well. This software will take some getting used to and some issues ironed out but im sure we can get there eventually. Might be better for it in the long run.

I'll sell you mine if you want, looking at a CF one from a VSpecII so after that mine will be avail. It is black pearl colour.

If you mean the boot garnish on the series 1 then it was a factory option to have it glow. To do it yourself you would find its not too difficult. Steal power from the tail lights. You might need to cut a significant part of the back of the garnish out and then you have water problems as it will fill up when it rains. Not too hard tho.

Thats funny. All i see is Toyota crowns . Did see a Toyota echo cop car yesterday tho too. In fact - been in Japan for 2 weeks now and seen only a handful of Skylines on the street.

Yes it does. Or you could just cut the S1 support. Easy to do.

I doubt a mines one would be "cheap" by any definition of the word. Anything mines and carbon is ****ing expensive. Take a look at their website. Yahoo japan is probably the better option. My car came with one and it is cool but Nismo left it off the Z-Tune so it obviously isn't the most necessary thing in the world to have...
