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.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
