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??

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
