Haha, I know what you mean about eating, sleeping and dreaming about GT-Rs...here is mine, which is currently on its way over here...

I'm shooting myself in the foot here, but if you want one straight away, you'd be hard pressed to get better than Beer Baron's car...

oh baby.... sweet car mate! 34 VII N1. love it! they look so cool in white with a few nice bits. the great thing about the 'special' GTRs is they are usually bought by guys who look after them since they commanded high premiums over the regular models when new. I've found that 4 out of 5 'special' GTRs I come across were in excellent condition (regular 34s maybe 2 in 5 are good). so even though they are so rare, when you finally do find one there is a good chance it'll be in top order.

I really like the sideskirts too. I reckon when you're keen for a change get some of the same nismo sideskirts, but in carbon, and a lower lip in carbon to match. it looks amazing on a white car.

I imported a full carbon wide body for a 34 race car here, that has the similar design sideskirts to the nismo one, but much more exagerated and they are just insane. and look so nice in bare carbon.

these ones (I know, totally impractical for a road car, but wait till you see this one finished!):

If you ever bring the N1 to sydney give me a shout, I'd love to come and check it out. I bet you can't wait to get your hands on it. :down:

I'm also selling my clean Silver 99 R34 GTR that has just landed. I sure didnt buy it at the best time and with current financial situations need to sell it. The big plans won't eventuate... Have to stick with my R32.

Will create a thread in forsale when I take some pics.

So anyone interested in a clean, straight R34 GTR in Aus (currently in Syd, will bring it up to QLD net week) landed and rego'd well under $50k, please pm me.

Cheers

Michael

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the heads up... but the girl of my friends wears a bayside blue dress and has a necklace on her neck that says GTR... so I can only follow my pre-destiny... LOL

But good luck with the sale mate... I'm sure you'll do well.

Good luck.

Regards,

Kevin

yep; wrong time to buy, unless the AUD continues to fall against the Yen!!!. but, a man's gotta have, what a man's gotta have!!!. as an example: when I imported my GTR [R32] the price paid at auction was 2m JY, roughly $20k AUD, with the rate what is was then. to pay 2m JY for a car now will cost roughly $31k AUD. obviously, the import charges remain the same, but it's still a big difference with the Aussie $ starting to resemble the Mexican Peso in buying power offshore.

import charges are not the same , customs taxes are payed in the value of the car in the current exchange rate and shipping is usually in us dollars although with some exchange rate corrections

very difficult to get a cheap GOOD r34 gtr at the moment . even with the seller taking a hit on their already reduced prices , say 2.5m that would be just under 50k to just land it , let alone comply register and transfer into your name lct if applicable repairs tyres panel and paint etc etc etc

and of coarse some economists are predicting the dollar to hit 40c us , I dont even want to contemplate r34 gtrs at that exchange rate!

the mexican peso looks good in compo to the aussie , the aud is the 2nd most devalued currency (worked agaist economic performance , gdp etc) in the developed world just behind iceland

:) you are correct; I was thinking of 'compliance etc' costs to get the car on the road in Aus.

Iceland is bankrupt!.

Kevin I think I found a pic of your other half, although she didn't have the GT-R necklace on...

Absolute gold!!! ;)

Yep... pretty much sums it up... LOL

BTW, I got your email and the attached customer form - will complete it soon.

I can't wait for the Aussie dollar to climb abit... can you start looking for me please.

Cheers.

Kev

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
