Yes that is auction grade. And yes you can get in R34 GT-T's for under 30. There is a few things involved e.g. using you car as a test vehicle so you avoid compliancing costs.

NISMOR34- yes there is no one yet with R34 compliance. We are looking at another 4-6 weeks. Craig Dean has already sent his application from Car conversions. Yes you can bring in R34s but only as a test vehicle.

lol ... cut this fella a break! there is a good possibility of an 18 year old having 70k for 1st car .... (remember on the US site with that stuck up US kid)

1.daddy could have given him the $

2.won the money from powerball

3.inherit the money from a deceased person

4.work really really really really hard for it legite business

5.sold heroin for the last 6 months

u guys remember that guy in the US who was boasting about his porsche and his lambo, mini etc .... that 18year old. That kid actually did have the money. So ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

buddy, if u r really searching for a 1st car. I believe gtt or gtr or non turbo is all fine! All depends on wat kinda driver u r.

BTW if u dont mind me asking. where did the 70k come from. I hope the money was attain through OPTION 4 (as shown above):D

no probs mate, I know a couple of guys in the business and they are NOT prepared to run a perfectly good 34 into the wall at this stage ~ for RAWS.

My partner has pretty much just bought herself a 34 gtt [grade 4-4.5 I think] for around that figure anyways - modified :)

how many tests will they allow?

Sorry for being off-topic max.89! Although some of this stuff does affect you.

Nark / Horus, I wasnt thinking like you guys, I knew he meant Auction Grade :D LOL

sounds like he is totally full of it or just signed on here to boast that he has 70k for a first car when he doesent know what car he is even talking about!!

:bahaha:

:bahaha: :D he is totally full of it....

And he's 18yo need to spend $7k pa to insure a R34... ?

I would rather get something easier to insure, spending $2k+ pa is acceptable for imports, but not $7k a yr!!

Imagine the stuffs you can get with that extra $5k difference. In one yr you can get a FMIC+Turbo, the next yr PFC and some other crazy monster mods....

...for side impact intrusion tests? :( this might bother some people paying $30k :)

There is different tests. The side intrusion test is to see if it meets ADR standards. There only has to be one vehicle crashed per make and model. There is a guy up in Qeensland that has already done or is doing an R34 right now.

Iam bringing in my vehicle as a test car for a compliance workshop. They need it as they are up to stage 3 and they need a test car so they can get there RAWS. The only thing that will happen to my car is it will get the usual compliance that has to meet the completely stock requirments.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
