does any in Aus sell the Nismo ones like in the pic above? I take it they are plug and play - you just remove the old ones and plug in the new ones? Price?

thanks Bob, sorry to bug you in my PMs - I am just very keen to get this baby on the road! Let me know the second they are off the car please ANYONE have a stock R34 4 door exhaust??? Or know where I could track one down. Does anyone have a friend with an R34GTT 4 door that might have a stock exhaust in their shed? Thanks in advance! Andrew

Have only just got the S15 back from getting a new Exedy single plate clutch, so is now ready for sale. Have just put ads in the online and newspaper spots. See how it goes .... Can't get the R34 out of customs until I recieve the import approval notice and my customs agent does his bit. Waiting .....

sorry to hear about this Sam! I bet she'll be back better than ever! Some nice internal bits and a big fat metal head gasket should do the trick!

meh .... maybe my idea of 'modified' is different to your idea of 'modified'. I will be doing a few small things to it, then that's all. I just mean I am not going to go nuts on it like I did to the S15

I have had enough of modifying cars for the foreseeable future, but you never know, hopefully my next car will either be an R34GTR or a V35 - you never know what might happen with one of those!

yep, thanks guys .... Abo Bob is selling me his old suspension when he gets it off the car shortly. I had a close look at the pics of the car I have, and the pedals are definitely stock, so it MUST be suspension either way. I have also bought some stock GTT wheels, so now I just need to find a stock 4 door exhaust - they are rarer than hen's teeth Andrew

nup, it's going to remain 'pretty much' stock .... I just want a cruiser for a while ....

nup - time for a change ....

Does anyone know if you can replace the gauges in the factory position 3 gauge holder above the air vents in an R34GTT? What size fit, and has anyone got pics of the results?

Hi, my S15 is up for sale. See details Here (click) Price dropped to $29,000 edit: I now really want to sell this car, so it is $29k ono

hmmm you guys really need to drive BOTH cars, and THEN make comments about them .... making statements because you think something is true does not make for a valid argument. When my S15 had just 165rwkw I did a 1.83 60' at AIR with street tyres - now anyone that know anything knows this will blow the doors off a stock R34 GTR start. And a stock R34 GTR would not catch up either - let me assure you. However, all you have to do is add a PowerFC and exhaust to an R34 GTR and you have a completely different story! Munro's R34GTR with just PowerFC and zorst ran a 12.1 at AIR and I think there was more left in it! FYI if you really want to find out how good S15s are for yourselves, my S15 is for sale /insert shameless plug here Check out This Link (click) for details. Read all the mods before you judge the price And yes, I realise the irony in me buying an R34 and trying to sell and S15 on Skyline forums - I am after a change, and really want to be able to take passengers and have a VIP style auto

awesome work there! If you don't mind me asking, where did u get, and how much did the double din lcd/stereo set you back?

nah it's a Turbo 4 door auto - steering wheel tiptronic - and includes mags, suspension, stereo and exhaust. Yep, have an auction sheet here (click), and there are pics of the car on my website www.andrewn.da.ru I still love my S15 - it is just time for a change

Deluxe - yeah I knew it was there (had an arrival notice, and have been tracking the ship all the way from Japan.) We knew it had to be there somewhere, but the odds of finding it were quite low. We cruised and walked around the perimeter of the holding yards and finally found it. Nozila - nah, that was taken with my did camera - it has quite good zoom. If a car comes directly into Adelaide, then it sits in North Haven holding yards until it clears quarantine/customs. P1E - the R34 is setting me back around $22,500 landed ad on-road. Bloody cheap! I have no idea why this vehicle was so cheap, when normally they are up to $10k more - but as long as it's good when I get it, then I'll be stoked! Shanna from ns.com recently bought her R34 4 door here for around $35k (with some mods). Yep I am selling the S15, will put an ad up everywhere very shortly! Asking $37K (has well over $20K of mods), which I think is a bargain.

spotted (with binoculars) .... my new R34 sitting at the docks in customs/quarantine at North Haven - it arrived 7:30pm Saturday night - just 20 days after I paid for it, believe it or not!

I might be marshalling again .... Mick, are you marshalling this year?

shouldn't be anywhere near that expensive unless custom work has to be done. Both times my manifold had been removed it only cost $400 (not quite as big job as fitting a turbo, but damn close).

no worries mate

yeah it doesn't make much sense .... even things like the tyres have to be BRAND NEW makes no sense .... as long as the tyres are roadworthy why does it matter? But yeah, when you sign the RAWs work agreement it explicitly says at the bottom "I, xxxx, understand that if I purchase an accident damaged or rusted vehicle it will, under the import regulations, be required to be scrapped or exported." Very harsh if it is an accident repaired vehicle - even some very minor accidents are considered unroadworthy - even if they are completely professionally fixed!! Show me ANY 1999 falcodore that would satisy these criteria and I would eat my hat! (Well not literally, but you get my point).

yeah I wanna go for the vip/sleeper look .... not gonna mod it much, but I'll get the tiptronic auto (with F1 style steering wheel gear selector buttons) tripped up to boogey when I want it to .... More pics at www.andrewn.da.ru

That is still a good price! Yeah, you can drive to the workshop on your tyres, but you must have a new/current receipt for them, else they will not comply. There are a heap of different things you have to do before the car can go in for compliance .... you have to sign a RAW work agreement form and pay $1,265 deposit before they can even apply for an import approval. An approval takes between 7-10 days and comes from Canberra. Only then can they even think about actually doing the compliance. It is vital you/he get a strict inspection somewhere else to make sure the car is 100% ok for compliance, as if the compliance workshop finds one tiny bit of dent or rust in the chassis or vital parts, they will immediately and without discussion brand the car damaged, and you can NEVER get it complied in Australia - even if you fix the damage. The car then has to be scrapped, or you have to pay to have it exported. They take this VERY seriously, and there is absolutly no leeway for compliance workshps, they 100% work within the guidelines.

$23k plus compliance etc is a fairly good deal! If it's $23k including compliance, then it is an awesome deal! You still see R34s coming in for well over $30k including compliance.

can anyone ID my new wheels? I have no idea ....

no worries mate - I have had it mostly translated but was after some more opinions .... doesn't hugely matter now, as I got the freight arrival notice yesterday - it gets here this Sunday. What is most amazing is that I paid for the car 31st May, it was loaded on a ship 3rd June and will arrive here (Adelaide) on the 19th June - just 20 days from payment!!!
