hey i'm new to this forum so i dno if i've posted in the wrong section but i'm really interested in buying an R34 GT-T, i've read about them n shit and i have heard a lot about bad experiences with imports and modded cars...

Should i import it? Who off?

What should i look out for when i'm buying from an importer?

i want to buy one with NO mods - heard too many bad stories!

How hard is it gonna be to resell?

Read somewhere i can make it a 4.5s - 100km/h car for not so much $$$ - true? (i don't think so)

Best place(s) in victoria to buy/fit mods

Is there anything about r34's i should worry about (like reccurring probs or just shit that always happen with them)

R34 easy to steal? should i get an immobiliser and club lock n shit?

if anyone can answer some of these questions that'd be awesome, also anyone who feels they wanna add more info please do it

Every one of your questions has been answered countless times on the forum. I suggest you take your questions, search the keywords, and read up.

For importing - look in this forum (Imports)

For modification queries - look in Forced Induction

Workshops in Vic - look in the Victoria forum

Alarms - look in the Car Audio and Security forum

etc.

David @ Elite Auto Imports on http://www.rpmlounge.com.au/forums/

He imported my car in for a brokerage fee of only $500! List down what you want(R34 GTT etc), and dont want(no mods etc), and he'll hunt the perfect car down for ya.

".... I've read about them n shit?"

Get your loan approved first, it'll save a lot of time.

Also, what license do you have. If you're on P's, forget about an R34 turbo.

Oh, and one final thing, club locks are a waste of time. Get an imobiliser AND alarm, preferably one that is monitored.

  • 2 weeks later...

Before you get the car factor in money for quarantine holding fees ($25 per day - can take weeks or months), decontamination fees, tow truck costs from quarantine to your compliance workshop (very expensive) etc etc

After you get the car factor in money aside for alarm, insurance, tune up and maintenance aswell.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
