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:

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.

    • 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.
