Hi all, I am new here, and I have some questions for ya all. I am from Singapore, and I will be coming over to Australia to study soon. Perhaps I may even find a job there after I am done studying.

I am also a HUGE fan of Skylines. Reading through the forum I have got an idea of the cost of a used one. Are new ones available for sale?

I am keen on a R34 GTR, and I was wondering how much would it cost brand new (or is it even available for sale)?

A new one in my country costs about $250,000++ to hit the road. And my currency is almost the same as AUD.

And I can't even customize the engine and exhaust parts. Can't do this....can't do that....bah.

Nutz.

y bother studying if u got that kind of money

If you read my post carefully, you'll see that I did not say that I have $250K to burn, I merely stated that a showroom R34 costs $250 big ones and then some to drive one here where I am at. :shake:

Oh yea, here's some more bits for ya alls to chew on:

Toyota Corolla 1.6 GLi = $89,900 :P

Proton Wira 1.5 = $67,888

I assume for the a/m prices I can get a good, used R33 or similar with some hops?

Crazy huh? That's Singapore for ya!

Yeh I went to singapore last July.

Nice City ... except i was fully aware of the car prices and I couldnt believe it. I was told while I was there that you cant own a car thats more than 10 years old (except all your taxi's are driving OLD corolla's) ... anyway ... pretty insane huh?

singapore roxors! awesome city/country.

anyways, an R34 GTR 2nd hand here would cost about say... 90K, possibly up to 100K and might even get one for mid 80's.

check out these sites, they sometimes have some listed.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
