Maybe don't beleive everything you heard from the car salesman, as far as I know R34 are still getting auctioned, please correct me if i am wrong.

Many people on this website have subscribed to a Japanese Importer called Geoff Risbey he is located in Perth but has Japanese contact, he is a auto importer for people such as us. About every 2 mornings we get a listing of cars that have come up for auction and if you are interested you pay a small fee and bid for it. I have not read to date anything about the stoppage on R34's

The only changes i have seen of late is that heavily modified cars can't come in only ones with VERY light or no mods are allowed into the country, if you do like a modified looking car and want to buy it well then you have to get a certificate to say that all the mods were destroyed before importation into Aus!

Why is the R34 too dangerous as you mentioned????

Still all in all $38,000 for a R34 well mate i would be happy paying that, how many kms on it? auto or manual? good proce though if you ask me :-)

Oh and welcome to the family!

25GTT, I think he ment too dangerous as far as getting one in under the old rules, if it's not done by the cut-off date then it gets scrapped.

I'm sure the R34's will be eligible under the new RAWS as the main requirement they have to meet is power to weight:D

See'ya:burnout:

38k is reasonable price for an R34.

Got 42 for mine but it had 15k worth of gear on it.

Joe Crisfario had a black one they would have accepted $34k for.

If you haven't signed already screw them as hard as possible as the R34's are harder to sell due to most finance company's wanting a much larger deposit plus the cost of insuring them is high.

Cheers

Yeah, I know but I've search around Perth for R34 they cost like $39000 plus, there is one cost $47000

Mine is black with 28k km manual no mods at all, They really try to ripped me off, So i ask for cd stackers and best alarm system also 3 years warranty , w/o stamp duty -_-,

Btw now I'm scared about insurance. Is it true it might cost u around 3k for 20 years old guy?

Check this before you buy the car.

It's simple, if you can't afford the insurance, you can't afford the car.

Doing a search will bring you up some good results but you could try the following :-

Famous Classic Car Insurance (Looking around two - three grand p/a)

HBF (No idea on price, but you need previous business with them I think)

Shannons (These guys may do it as they are a prestige centre)

I also think SGIO are getting back into it but I can't confirm that..

Hope that helps

*Smack* please don't tell me the dealer tried to sell you some special paint protection thing for extra $$$$?? All you really need is a BUff Cut and Polish about once every say 6 months and then a polish once a month that will work fine, that is all i do to mine and the paint is in A1 perfect condition, still with showroom glaze to it!

SHUTO Boy: I saw that R34 as well wanted about 45k for it! was very nice though and well looked after with nice kit and mags! it has since been sold don't mind white but would have looked nice in black or red me thinks, i am a bit past the yellow stage and aren't a big fan of yellow but one of the guys here called Franks in the eastern states has one of the nicest looking R34's i have seen in my life! and it is yellow....

eriktufa: dude, i still don't know why you keep saying that it is hard to import R34, i still have not read anything about R34's being let into aus, the only restrictions that i have seen under the new imports scheme so far is basically no mods are allowed to come into Aus and must be scrappped! If someone has seen otherwise please show me where you got the info from as i have no info on r34's not being let it, i think that maybe the salesman said that to you so you would buy it. Price of imports willl be going up and mods will not be allowed that is all i have read so far, Why would they specifically be targetting R34's when 33 GTR have the same power output??

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
