hey man,

get one from the east coast... there are heaps to choose from, just get it look at by a quality workshop that deals with skylines and then transport it over her and get it registered. I did it and got a better quality car than I could have got here and saved a heap in the process.

just my 2 cents

Yeah I have been casually looking in perth too..not much lately. A few months ago it was flooded with them.

Eastern States seems to have some nice ones, but as said..get them thoroughly checked!

i wouldnt import ever again, you cant inspect the car and heaps of things were stolen/missing/broken when they arrive (no broker offers money back gaurentee, autoworx does excludin gearbox, engine and diff at least you know you wont get a accident repaired shell that cant be complianced)

you'd be better off paying the extra 5k mark up to dealers and get a perfect example from autoworx and you get warranty for 3 years

yeh they offer good service, the 3 year warranty is a life saver, already claimed over 1500 bux of stuff, coil packs, spark plugs, clutch etc, all things that usually fault with skyline, no hassels or anything at auto worx and paul is always helpful :laugh:

thats an option I will take when I get a bit more serious.

I want yours tho Gaz...exactly the type of R im looking for.

there is a pearl red one for sale in japan on the imports 101 site for under 22 k on road

stock number 1485 and its got more on it than mine has and mine cost me 27 k to import

read the imports 101 warranty .. if the vehicle isnt up to the standard of the vehicle report they will do right

one purchaser from therer ecently had to hve his 32 gtr resprayed @imports 101's expense

Heres what I would look for

1994 Vspec

Grade 4+ (Straight body, clean interior with maybe some aftermarket 18's, pods, zaust etc...)

Minimal to No mods (especially no boost controller)

<100,000kms (preferably lower than 80k)

Pay $21-$23k

Like this one (22,000kms...bollocks!): http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/index.php?ID=8554 . But it has a few mods that I would do differently.

The first signs of getting dicked around by the sellers, jump out!

Um, the only way you will get a V-spec as described at the price suggested is with the aid of a shotgun.

Try $21-23k before it leaves Japan.

By way of an indicator I recently sold my '94 GT-R (non V-spec, largely stock) for $28k.

Sorry, I was describing an Auction price, so all extras plus ORC's apply to that.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
