Thanks for the support fellas.

Obelisk, I got your email, but I've just spent the last 24 hours on planes coming back from Japan, so I'll get back to you tomorrow probably. My first impression is that with no service records, and no record either way of accident history, it would probably be a fairly risky proposition, although it does look pretty sexy with those rims :)

Hi there, welcom back to Australia~~~

I can understand that u must be very tired. So, plz have a good rest before start ur job! Healthy is more important than anything else!

There are lots of guys said that u are so good at importing business, and I can wait for a while because I still need to prepare my exam in uni until 4th July. So, I guess we may have plenty of time to do our business.

During these day, I hope u can answer these question to help me to get a better understanding of what I'm dealing with:

1.Can I have some more photos for that R34 GTT such as interiod and outside? I want to have a better understanding what I'm dealing with.

2.What about the quility of that car? Is there accident or any other damanges on that car? could u give me a list about everything have been changed on that car? And can u guys promise me that R34 GTT is under a good condition?

3.I talked about that car with some of my friends a few days ago and they told me that because there is no airbag in the steering wheel, I have to pay some extra charge to change it into original ones or I even cant import it to Adelaide, is that ture?

4.If u guys import that car for me, do u have to change some parts on that car? because I really like the GTR FRONT BUMPER,the GTR CARBON BONNET and the NEW CST 17IN ALUMINUM WHEELS, so can u guys try to keep all of them?

5., What is the finally price for that car? Does the price NEGOTIABLE?

6.Where can I find u guys in Adelaide? I checked on the web but I cant find ur location......

Sorry, I guess I asked too many questions~~~I'll be quite happy if u can answer all my question! Thanks a lot!

Regard

Andy

^^lol Obelisk has copied his email into a post on here, never realised he'd done it.

Just to update, not sure if Obelisk will be back on here to post pics up, but keep an eye out for a white R34 with CF bonnet and 18" AVS model 5s terrorising the streets of Adelaide, with an Iron Chef sticker on the back haha.

It's not the one in the original pics with the GT-R front bar, by the way, that's actually the same dealer who did the switcheroo on Jenkk's car, so they won't ever be getting my business again.

i bought my R34 from Sinergy motorsports /Rocco but i have mixed feelings about the place. Rocco is pretty good but the other guys are a bit anal.

but my car is pretty clean, grade 4 car i would say.

dont buy a 34 without an airbags, it wont pass regency and will cost heaps to get one for it. plus might have been wrecked in Japan

Sinergy is great, prices are high but great cars. My olds purchased their V35 through them and they gave them excellent service, nothing but praise. Rob, the guy who owns the place is a top bloke, so is Rocco, however River, the salesman is a tosser and just acts like a general assclown. Had I known more at the time however I probably would have gotten Kristian to import it but there's always my next car :)

+1

he completely put me off buying there when i was looking for a car.

You want me to order that R35 through Nissan Japan for you now or later? lol

I actually think we're pretty lucky in Adelaide with the general standards of cars in import dealerships. Sinergy have a lot of very nice cars in their yard (yes I do check every now and again!), so do Redline. Common sense suggests that if businesses have been around for a while, they're obviously getting the right cars in. Adelaide's a small place!

Hey Obelisk,

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

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.

I think u r right and hes really nice because I actually chang my mind and choose another R34 from he a few days ago. Thats a real good quality car!!!

is SCI run by the same rocco who owns sinergy motorsport?

Hahahaha Rocco @ Sinergy is a bit of a character.

Sinergy have a good collection of cars. I can't say anything good about Redline after a mate of mine purchased a N/A 93 Supra from there and had nothing but issues.

I was speaking to a dude from Redline and he asked "What do you drive?" and I said "94 32 GTR, imported through Iron Chef Imports" and the guy had a blank look on his face and said "R32's stopped production in 1992 and Iron Chef is a TV show, not a Import Yard"

After that, I walked out.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
