I don't really know what the import car cruising scene is like around Mackay as it has been like 3yrs since I have owned a decant street car. I seem to be working on everyone else's car besides my own + I'd rather sit in the shed and enjoy a few coldies with my mates then being out on a Thursday night getting hassled by the cops.

There was a mint blue r34 gtr for sale on a page I like on fb .... Had mods and all I will see if I can find it

Cool, thanks. Seeing way to many bad examples already in Australia, dodgy dealers buying Grade R cars and getting them illegally complied, wound back etc.

I have been looking directly in Japan.

Saw a car go for $60k landed and complied, and then show up on carsales 2 months later for $100k.

f**ken rip off assholes.

Yeah I'm importing my next GTR as well, when the old man imported the R32 N1 GTR years ago it was immaculate, my R34 GTT that I imported was like brand new and Richard JZA80 Supra was imported like brand new and still is the cleanest I ever seen. My R33 GTR I purchased from the Gold coast and wasn't in the best shape but it was my trasher, it had a hard life.

Roads in Japan are perfection not like our f**ked roads over here so the are in much better condition plus there country is tiny and they don't rack up as many km's. Import all the way.

Lol the fact it's got a single is one of the reasons I like it haha each to there own however .... Not sure of ks but with mods like that I'm not sure it really a issue, thats in my opinion of course best contact owner and ask the questions and ask if he has original auction report and import certificate !

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
