  1. it's a shame you are in Adelaide, I can't get time off work to come see the car and buy. This is what I am looking for good luck with the sale regardless.
  2. One question though ... I went througha total s***fight trying to get finance for a 'private' purchase. Am I going to go through the same crap for an import? Also, someone mentioned that I should probably just buy one already here, rather than go through j-spec or prestigemotorsport for my 'first import buy'. What do you all think? From what I've read, you all feel that the best route to take is going through the pain of waiting for your personal import, only to reap the wonderful reward at the end. Any thoughts?
  3. I drove a modified Yellow R34 GT-T last year at Powerplay (man that was the best 10 minutes I've had for a while ) and my friend (who introduced me to this forum :wavey: ) recently bought a R33 GT25-T Series II, and I drove it ... and I've got to say ... man that car is smoooooooooth as silk!! I was in love within 2 minutes! I've been driven many Hondas (owned three so far) and also had a V8 once upon a time ... but this car was the silkiest thing I have put my paws on. Awsome. I definatly want one. If I can get an R34 for late $20k, I might think about it. But I am starting to already think that I'd rather get a R33 Series II and spend the extra on some mods (performance, with a splash of doof-doof and bling-bling) LOL
  4. Thanks everyone for your helpful comments. I am now going to also consider a late model R33 Series II as well as a R34 (although personally I like the 'look' of the R34 better, the R33 seems like such a better value for money choice) The more you guys talk ... the more you make my decision more and more solid towards getting rid of my 4-banger and getting a Sky ... I am starting to look forward to this .... Now I've just got to sell my car (hopefully the person who came and looked at it tonight will buy it on the weeknd)
  5. Good luck with it Topkart .. please keep us all posted. I am very interested to see how you go (as I am also considering importing a skyline myself)
  6. Hi all, I am currently researching more information on buying a R34 Skyline GT-T. I have a few questions I was hoping you all can advise me on. 1) For those who actually own an R34 (and also may have driven / sat in an R33) ... what are the best things about this car from a driver-experience point of view? (What are some of the best things about this car?) Also, any quirks or issues you have come across that you wish you'd known about before (wether it is mechanical or otherwise) 2) I have been quoted $40k+ for this car from dealers. However, from import agents (such as Prestigemotors or J-Spec), these cars sell for at least $9k-10k less! So, is it really worth paying 10 grand extra just to be able to inspect the car visually / drive it yourself before you buy? 3) I am told the process of using a import broker is long and painful (but in most cases it's well worth the wait). Is this true? Any stories about this you guys want to share? Thanks
