All depends what you are after:

Performance - I like the EVO 8 MR. Bigger turbo for more potential and a bit lighter then 7 as well. Plus the shape of 7 is dull.

Crusing/daily driver - V35.

How about instead of forking out $25k extra for then new car spend like $15k on the R34 and turn it into the perfect mix of performance and luxury. I reckon the R34 is better looking then an EVO or a V35 it just needs some finishing touches.

Also, if V35 is so expensive in WA then get one from QLD (seen al ot of ads for them from QLD). Fly to QLD drive back in the V35 (awesome road trip but dont go alone).

I am interested but it is now possible to get them landed and complied in Australia for as little as $35k to $37k for a premium 350GT. There was one on sale recently with 3,189km that went for about that price. Its good that the Aussie dollar is so strong. Buyers market.

$35k-$37k landed and complied

add on to that

Tyres - $1k

Alarm - $500

Blueslip - $100

Transport to and from Compliance $100-$200

Rego - $1000

etc etc

These are just a few thing off the top of my head. The price builds quite quickly once the car lands and you need to get it on the road.

Still - $35k for a manual premium landed and complied is great value. When I got mine a few months ago, a manual Premium in "very good" condition was selling for 2.4mil yen and above. Based on my costs to date at 100yen exchange (banks in reality will give you closer to 98/99) you're still looking at over $40k

You can get poor condition ones for less, but do you really want a 2 yr old car in poor condition. Imagine the abuse it's copped to be so bad aftr such a short period of time.

just my 2c (actuall prob 50c) :(

I forgot to mention that I was in Victoria so we do not have to pay $1,000 for rego. But we do have to pay for stamp duty. The price I quoted includes tyres and inland/interstate transport. Another $2k and it will be the drive away price. There are some bargains at Auction and sometimes it really depends how dedicated the agent is in located and hounding one for you. It does help if you know the agent. Buying from dealers will probably get you the best cars, but also the most expensive. I was quoted a V35 premium 350GT for about $35k landed and complied with maximum 40,000km with a minimum auction grade of 4.

However, you are absolutely right. Not much point in getting a 2 year old car in poor condition.

Banks in general will sell at 1.5yen below the nornal rate. I was told by my in-laws that the Japanese yen will probably rise in the second half of this year. Not sure how accurate that would be, but my father in-law is working in that line of bussiness that requires this kind of knowledge.

FOB 2.4 million yen or AU$24,490

Landed: AUD$6,600 (Customs, tax sea freight etc0

Compliance: AUD$4,500

Tyres:$1,000

On road cost: $2,000

Total $38,590

So you are right, about $40k on the road based on your FOB. But I was informed that I could get what I am looking for for 2.2million yen, so drop the price by another $2k at least. So it would be possible to get one for $35k to $36k landed and complied and even drive away.

And I agree, the MY07 Liberty GT is a fine car. There are quite offers available at the moment. Seen a few for as low as $53k drive away. Pretty good value IMO.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
