regardless of it being an n/a or turbo or a gtr I beleive the price is the same. but under the new rules the price will be around the $4000 mark. no way it'll be 2000 cause even under the older rules you'd struggle to find compliance for 2000

if you're getting compliance for $2000 stay well clear of the mob, there's a bunch running around sayin it can be done for that much, but then when ppl go for rego they find that the plates are stolen.

Expect to pay $4000 under RAWS (the current scheme). UPI is about 2-3 weeks away from getting their full accreditation, and they should be one of the first to be able to comply em.... unfortunately atm not many people can do em, they will, but they'll make you wait a few weeks for plates, but do the work in the meantime.

eg: 3 car yards in springvale/dandy area quoted me $15k for an N/A R32 GTS back then when I was buyin em.

1 didn't have import approval for the car, it was a cut n shut job

another didn't have compliance plates on it, when I asked him he goes "it'll be done when you buy it".

the third one had brought it in as a GTSt (accordign to the papers) but was now miraculously a GTS.

they're mostly shonky, and as settling as it is to test drive a car, they pull all sorts of dodgy's. Reputable car yards are one thing, but import car yards are cut-throat mofos.

I went to j-spec and I ended up getting the car on the road for 13k with compliance (under the old laws).

If I were you go to the reputable importers like j-spec and risbey, they'll get you a car you want and with j-spec they'll show you EXACTLY what each thing costs every step of the way (with reciepts etc) and you don't pay a large sum, you pay on completion of each step.

sif use risby either... ask Dr_Drift about what he thinks of risbey the yahoo auction man.

Daz - dealerships like Kamikazee or others where they offer u decent cars at a higher price which have been obviously maintained and know about cars go for it... ur average twit at a car yard doesnt know shit about these imports and does dodgeys to get them on the rd... LOTS of cut and shut jobs.

im like munkeh boy... i went to dealers and they were trying to sell me cars which i could physically see were in major accidents as "GRADE 3+!" yeah right... apart from the fact theres no such thing as 3+ i could see when i opened the bonnet the stress marks where the chassis had been buckled and str8end out and slapped back together etc and tried to sell me an R32 GTST for 17k.... i got mine for 12k and the engine was in top condition with genuine low ks and had also been in no major accidents and only 2 minors, 1 replaced front bar and rear right hand lower qtr panel has been repaired.

my general concensus on importer car yards etc are stay well away.

lol.. yer, i'm gonna go direct thru an importer. Its got risk, but well if u don't want risk don't buy an import.

Car yards - erk! Least most of them will be closed under the new scheme or not be able to sell imports like previously, which most would say is a very good thing.

Risbey can well, get Frisbey'ed :(

What I have been told (by an importer) is that compliance for most cars will be around 4.5k, but apparently there *may* in time (say 6 months) be places that will be able to compliance certain models for a bit less than that... So i'd say in time with more competition and established processes things will get a bit cheaper.

Ok, so their goes my idea of buy by r33 n/a for 10g + 2 g comlinece from "Power Road car sales" in Dandenong VIC.

they must be really doggy.

i will go down still to have a look and take some pic and post them if the car is visably been in a accident.

Any One selling a r33 n/a Cheap???

this was because of a technicality in the power to weight ratio, the R33 is more powerful than an R32 GTS (think RB25DE vs RB20DE) so its still eligible for import, but tis only around $500 more to import a R33 GTSt usually

How can this guy in dandy do complince for for $2000???

is he doggy or just nice(lol).

$12000 for a stock manual r33 GTS is Pretty good.

i Think i Will cheak the plates with vic roads, and VACC check the car to be on the safe side of things..

BUt if you know anyone selling A r33 GTS around the price range let me know.

cheers.

haha.. the reason R32 GTS is not allowed to be imported anymore as its under the required power :D and i'm not bullshitting either, there is like a minimum kw/kg under the new scheme for any car to be imported.. its like one of the criteria in assessing it "unique" or "performance" i believe. hehe

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
