Hi everyone,

Im new to HPIs and im looking at importing my own car.

A friend forwarded me this link and im very interested in getting this car

http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/au/st...asp?StockID=703

However i also found this car on yahoo.jp for a cheaper price and its available for the next few days.

Is it possible to import a car through yahoo or should i use this other company?

There seems to be many inconsistencies between these two businesses

What should i do?

Hey that car is really nice

i really like the trick decals on it

yahoo seems to be respectable, and i have bought some goods from yahoo in japan.. but not a car.

at least on yahoo we can see wat mods are actually done to the car... maybe if u import it from the other company, they could easily take off some mods and say it never came with tthem..who knows.. like the warfies.. they are dodgy

if u have contacts in japan, i think yahoo is more surer option.

but see wat other ppl think

no you cannot import a car yourself from yahoo auctions .. you will need a broker..

2ndly, becuase its an 89 car, the only option is to hold it in japan until 2004. Prestige is offereing this for free at the moment which is a very good deal. Prestige are only a broker, so the only money they make is the 1000 service fee. You will not that it was an approx price of 600,000 yen ... on yahoo it shows the reserve of 500,000... so they are assuming that it wont sell for too much over the reserve.

Btw - i have never used prestige, but many people hear have and they have had very good feedback.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
