thats a mighty big statement. any pics by any chance?

that would also have to qualify for the "freak GTR buy of the decade" though wouldnt it?

I think it's pretty spot on. I mean the GTR you are looking at is around $20K (well 2 weeks ago would have been equivelant to $16K). It's not such a stretch to see a similar car sell here for $25K. Yeah it was cheap and a very good buy but it's not far out of the ball park.

make no mistake it's a kick arse GTR. and up on the top shelf of cars around, but I would say it would be around $30-$35 max. here. I mean anyone here can buy it for $20K just like you can, then have it on the road for around $30K...

prices arent what they used to be are they?

I suppose its the influx of nissan performance machinery into the Oz market but also the strengthening dollar against the yen.

Your correct, it is a big statement. I have inspected and driven 100's of GTR's here and in Japan and from my experiences, yes, this particular car is the best I have come across.

It was a fantastic buy, no doubt.

Your welcome to doubt me, I don't have photos handy, and to be honest I don't think I need to pull them up.

A few people on this forum know the car and would happily attest to my statement.

Judging by the overall quality and presentation of the majority of cars they sell, I concur.

The thread starter in this case could take a leaf out of Global Auto's book when it comes to taking good quality high resolution photos to help market a car for sale.

agreed. OP, thats how a car should be listed, no more, no less.

ive no reason to doubt you . I just wanted to see some snaps of the car in question.

what happened to the Oz dollar by the way? Has it fallen or something?

ive seen a couple of people make mention of it in the last couple on threads.

Wall St crash and the US housing market chaos has had a ripple effect here.

A week ago $1 AUD bought 107 Japanese Yen, now $1 AUD buys 90 Japanese Yen :D

AUD has lost a 10 - 15yen in the past week. Was around 105 now trading around 90 yen for 1AUD.

The car Blitz refers too was very good indeed. It basically looked like a brand new car inside, outside and underneath.

and this car was capable of 10second passes? sorry if im a little sceptical.

not if you are exporting your car for sale in aus it's not, as when you take all those aussie dollars back to japan they now equal much less yen than they have over the last 6 months or so.

as for start price! ok they are asking 3 mil! that is hardcore considering they didn't even get any bids at 1.8 when it was on yahoo. damn fine car though. I'm guessing you've got them down a lot lower than 3mil?

weve got them down to 2.5 on finance. Thats a fair amount we think and the car has done 35 thousand k's. Its in very good condition.

I meant the exchange rate is good for the money in my Oz accounts by the way! :)

all this talk of exchange rates and resale values is making me a bit jittery, though... AND i havent even been accepted yet.

we still have time though., If i..sorry, WE get accepted, then its good news but...

nah it's bad for your money in aus. the AUD has gone down. you would have been better off to send your aus money to japan when the rate was up over 100JPY/1AUD. :)

anyway, hopefully you'll get it. It's a nice car and a bit special being such a late model.

Well putting aside the prejudice it is pretty easy to pick a badly done up & thrashed car when it is stood there infront of you. Less easy from a few grainy photos & a three sentence description.

Not sure what is Japanese for bogon but you can be sure the cars get used hard in Japan.

obvious things aside, if u import a car with a high auction grade as i said you cant really go wrong. As long as u use proven importers and or buyers. this will ensure u dont get a car that is rubbish.

I wouldnt say u would be stupid to buy locally there are good cars around at what id consider good prices for what has gone into them.

well its much better than having the money sitting here accumulating a big fat ZERO interest! :)

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
