Hmm, i heard i might be able to import a GTR for say under $45k if i can find a good looking and good quality bargain.

Depends on how the exchange rate is like, seems to be holding well and rising, sitting at 75 at the moment.

Just one thing that seems to bug me, do i get to keep my xenons if they come in, because i heard somewhere that they remove the xenons when imported.

Tried going onto the Jspec site, seems to be down.

Dont think its a problem, i got mine with xenons + alot of cars have xenons standard today, the especially annoying 4wd's who tail you on the freeway; feels like they put their highbeams on grrrrrrrrrrr.

If you're willing to travel to Vic, take a look at this one.

This one is in Syd and sounds damn good, but maybe a little out of your price range.

im in the same prediciment im joining the army in october and i love my R32 to bits and its been running like a dream andthen trust the boost controller to shit itself i have a R32 GTST m spec so its running a ten pound acctuator. so im running stock boost on a t3 and i just love driving it, but the other day i was sitting and thinking man i want a GTR.. and im sure most of you guys here will agree they look, sound and just pull so nicely. so i was looking up GTRs and info then i came across the info on the R34 GTR Ztune..... i found 2 that were for sale on the net. one was already sold it was in sydney and the other im awaiting info on it... and i know someone in a earlier post here said if you are going to buy a GTR get the best... needless to say the Z tune that was sold was brand new had no kms on it and went for 235k (there were only 20 of these ever made) but i looked at that price tag and i was like FffAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKK that id be paying it off for way to long and i might as well buy a new GTR for a fraction of the price.

at the end of the day there will always be a rarer cooler car that comes out that you would want. and honestly in the next year or so i think a 34 gtr nur vspec 2 will suit me just fine, but ill scruitinise every single one up for grabs till i find the most perfect one

You certainly need to take your time to find the right one. This is the first Skyline i've owned, and i went through many, many cars before finding the right car that satisfied me. I am a pretty fussy person, too!

Definitely try to do some research if you find a prospective car in Australia. There were a few i was interested in that seemed like a great deal, but after searching forums and speaking to people, you can find out some history on the cars. I remember finding out that one car i was keen on had actually been resprayed - whether it was because of an accident or not, i'll never know, but things like that are deterrents.

I'm glad i was patient, because i found this immaculate car that has given me nothing but joy. Expensive as hell, but worth every cent.

didnt that frustrate the shit out of you? how long did it take for you to find your car?

series 2 GTR's also have the color coded engine bays, where as the 99model series 1's dont.

That's not exactly right. Why do people post misleading info when they dont know bollocks about the cars.

Yellow, red, black, white and silver (I cant remember which silver exactly) have coded engine bays.

Blue, MP II, MP III, and some other colours have the matt black engine bay.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
