Hey guys,

Just wanted to introduce myself and post a few questions about the R34 GTT and importing one, well heres the story i recently went down to carizma and took a R34 GTT for a spin and was impressed ;) smooth, boost came on gradually and if given a little squirt wanted to leap forward...awesome :O Then i went away and while working started reading the various articles on the forum concerning the R34...now here are some questions i hope havent been covered :D

1. I heard good things on the forums about Jspec imports,Imports 101 and My Trading, are there any other reputable import businesses in Melbourne?

2. Do any you guys use the R34 as a every day car and how have you found it?

3.In the R34 GTT did it come in Bayside blue or were these just stolen resprays?

4. What are the negatives about owning a R34?

5. Is there a way to tell if the vehicle has been boosted?

6. And finally i was told that Log Books generally dont come with the car? are they stolen or kept by the auction houses in Japan?

7. Sorry one last question is importing a R34GTT and getting it complianced ect, is it the same cost as a showroom R34 would sell for here fully complied?

Thanx guys :D

2. yes it is just like any other car.

3. yes but not common.

4. you may get addicted to modding.

5. only if they put it back to standard in a dodgy way.

7. dunno, lots of different prices. If I had my time again I would buy one that is already partially modified.

1 - SSV in Oakleigh, give them go, they look after you before and after the sale

2 - i use it as an everyday car and its excellent

3 - later model 34 GTT's came in bayside blue, if you find one in good condition, i'd grab it straight away.

4 - negative attention (stereotyped)

5 - see above

6 - not sure about that...but i ended up with one

7 - my advice, buy it completely standard.

thanx for the info, can't find link to SSV, after the drive i didnt want to get out of it :D does this feeling continue? when i go to purchase i hope to find a stock one. :P

i love the fact that you can cruze with little boost and not stress the engine, but the power is there waiting to be unleashed :D

Hey 'lowestcostR34compliance', if that is your real name, if you want to promote your business then sign up as a sponsor and support the club that supports your business.

As for compliance there are plenty on here in this section that can give their advice where they have been as customers, not as people promoting their own businesses.

Technically they have to bin the xenons I believe, in which case no, you don't. I'd actually try to have them removed in Japan if it was possible and replaced with a halogen pair there. Otherwise speak to a compliancer before you take it there and see what you can do - just don't pay for them as some people try to charge you when they're yours!

And advertising on here? We have been trying, as others (see another forum on this site) for months now. One other business took 18 months according to them. We will just have to wait. We have been told to do it this way until the other happens.

If you don't own an R34 or are buying one, or own this site, it doesn't matter to you anyway.

You've been told? By who? AFAIK none of the admins or mods authorised that.

He's a moderator, its what he's supposed to do, so it does matter to him.

Mr Funkymonkey,

We have been trying to advertise on here for months, literally. As have others I have been told by more than one moderator.

Yes, we have been told to do it this way, by one of the moderators of this Importing forum.

Yes, we have that in writing from him, and its still in our messages box from him.

If you can get us a banner ad or two, please do.

Cheers

I don't take care of site sponsorship or payment, so I can't help you with that. You can email [email protected] and [email protected] to try and expediate the matter.

As for whoever's adviced you to advertise or solicit your business in any section till then, I'm afraid that was bad advice. Please refrain from doing so until your sponsorship status has been approved. Feel free to forward any PM you have relating to the matter.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      Blue slip

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
