Hello every,

This is my first time decide to import a R34 GTT, and I find out that there are two dealers in SA I can ask for assistance, which are 'Skyline city imports' & 'Iron Chef Imports'. Can u guys give me some suggestions which one is better and if they are reliable or not!

Your suggestions may be very helpful to me because I'm only an international student here and dont know much about this kind of things...... :)

Thanks for helping me

PS: this is the car I found out in stork in Jap now, and I want to know: it is good in ur opinion?

(1998, R34 GT-T, 48,000 km, MT)

+1 Iron Chef.

Christians a top bloke and definitely knows his shit. He lived in Japan for a number of years while he was teaching over there and that's how he got his contacts. I'm pretty sure he's over there now so if you have a car that you are interested in it a perfect time to get him to have a look.

another vote for iron chef he's a good man!

also that 34 is good but front bar bonnet swap plus no airbag could me a possible front hit, if not you will still ned to get hold of a airbag bonnet for compliance

Yea with no airbay i dont even think compliance will allow it until it has a stock steering wheel and airbag, just to get that you'll be paying big cash on top just for the steering wheel and airbag. good luck!

I don't know if you know about regency where just about everyone takes their cars when defected or want to register a car in SA, to get a car to pass it needs to be dead stock, no height adjustable suspension, stock turbos, no visible aftermarket engine mods (of course you can put that stuff back on once its passed, until you need those stock parts again if you get defected and need to go back to regency).. theres probably more that I'm not thinking of that applies to a skyline.

Hey Obelisk,

Ive seen the listing for that car, nice car by the looks of it :)

I am currently in the process of importing an R33 at the moment with Kristian from Iron Chef Imports, hes a good guy and his reputation reflects the high quality of his service.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
