For the price you pay for a R34 GTR you can get a maserati. :down:

No you can't lol...

Are u sure about that my mate just got a Black with red leather 34,000miles Maserati 3200GT on the road for around $48,000 threw a complience centre in melbourne. He paid 12k pounds for the car from manchester and took him about 4months to have the car landed and on the road. You will see it around chatswood got silver and black plates indian guy driving it.

He paid $50k for a temperamental car that is a UK import with high Milage???? Your friend got ripped off big time... I'd pay that money for an Aussie delivered one, not a grey import one...

GT-R32: Lol if ur thinking of importing a ferrari from the uk go for a 4 seater e.g 456 or 550M cause they tend to lose value over their quicker.

Last thing you should do is buy a UK import 4 seater, for starters they are cheap as shit over here in Australia already (for ferrari prices i mean), 2nd is they don't sell because they are not sought after, and last of all by looking at your other posts you have put up on the subject, I wouldn't believe a single word you say, you have no idea what your on about...

piston heads , ebay and autotrader are the most popular 3 in the uk

I ve seen gallardo's go for 45k ;-0

Like i said i ve a lot of contacts in the motor trade in the uk if anyone needs a hand

Eghey is full of scam artists, be careful.

Cars in the UK can suffer from rust real bad due to salt on the roads.

I refuse all tis gibberish. I will import a F355 and it WILL be cheaper than getting one here. :blush:

http://www.usedcartrader.co.uk/vehicles/ov...355--1489201515

F355's are starting @ 10 000GBP in the UK ( too bad their mr2 replicas but look good replicas lol), but 30 000 pounds will get you a decent F355, they range to a top of about 60 000 pounds. Depends on condition ect... but whats the going price here? $130-$220k, the prices in Australia are a joke.

PS: a private import of any car will be harder to sell unless the price is attractive.

A new f430 costs here from $600-$800k depending on extras + onroad costs....

Same car bought brand new in the UK is 180 000 british pounds which = $300k Australian. Our 2nd hand 2005 model f430's don't sell for under $300k here.

I was going to buy a 360 here in OZ ($200k price tag here, or a $80-$90k Aud equivalent over there), but i'm moving to Austria/Germany at the end of 2011, thought i'd wait and actually save the money to buy property in Europe and use the car over there where they can actually be used properly without getting damaged by stupid potholes on sydney roads, not get speeding fines (planning to move to Innsbruck which is only 25 minutes from munichs autobahns).

Also the price of parts are cheap as chips there, MAserati sydney quoted me $8500 for a new throttle body, I bought a genuwine throttle body from the UK, that sourced it from Italy for $2000 including the cost of air freight. I still find it dessapointing by GM and Holden when you can buy a brand new CV8 Monaro cheaper in Europe than you can here in Australia and the cars are made here. This is why so many people and companies have made money importing cars, but importing cheap r32's and r33's arnt where the profits are, the profit is in the high end market

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • 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.
