Where abouts in India are you moving to? I have been working in Hyderabad for a little over a year and an R34 would be rather strange amongst all the Tatas tuk-tuks, goats and buffalo on the roads. But to export your car will be easy on the OZ end of things. Proof of ownership and de-registration is about all i think you would need

It would be out of the world to own a R34 in inidia.. As of now there are no R34's in inidia.. And yea i got a garage with a security.. will have to tighten security if i take the car there...

And im from Bangalore... Hyderabad is a nice place.. i like the roads there :)

The tough part is the customs in india.. it will cost me a bomb to import a skyline there.. its like 170% Duty charges :D

Hmmm.... 170%... Duty based on what?

Does this mean that if you have a bill of sale saying that you've bought your car for $20K, duty on top would be $34K?

Thus, if it's $10K, duty would be $17K?

Or if it were $5K, duty would be an extra $8.5K? Can you legally sell this car to your alter ego for say $3K?

In other words, what is market value of a grey import in India?

yeah, just pay someone off lol. Sounds like your family might be able to find the rigght person to pay off, or atleast have the money to do so lol.

lol terry, whats with the heat comment, r34's come with standard AC and Australia is pretty hot even on a world scale of things lol.

I'd only be worried about finding decent fuel to run the car lol.

seriously though, Zaver you have to do the research yourself, It doesnt look asif anyone has exported a car from Australia to India. On our side, it is easy to send the car over, basically ring rta (vic roads) and they will tell you what to do on our end. Then find a customs shipping broker that deals with india and ask them. They'll set you up with a 20 foot shipping container, insurance for shipping, they may even know the appropriate duty that needs to be paid.... once the car is in the country i'm sure it cant be that hard to get it registered there, ive never been to india but from my limmit4d knowledge about indian cars, i dont think their registration rules are very strict at all lol.

good luck

I knew some guys that used to bring superbikes into India for their own use. Bribing was the only way to go for them, their families were loaded, so a few grand here or there didn't matter.

India already has R35 GTRs.. 5 of the guys i know through a forum have them.. They drag their cars in Hyderabad.

Guy who lives in my area in India has Lamborghini Murciélago LP640//Bentley Flying Spur //BMW 750Li//RR Phantom//BMW M3//Audi R8 and he is only 20 years old..

here is his thread

http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/super-cars-i...-my-garage.html

I did see R34GTR 2 years back so i'll find more information.. i am planning to buy R35 next year and take it with me to India when i move there.

+1 seen plenty of them over there.

Anyways would be keen to see how this plans out for you and if you get the car over there safely.

Good thing is that its so easy to bribe over there :P

But see if you can do all this properly without costing you an arm and leg.

Looking forward to the updates in the future.

My suggestion would be dnt bribe because they will confiscate it later.. lot of bollywood stars got their cars confiscated who didn't follow the correct procedure. They are getting smart.

Ask the guy below who drove this R34 in India

well im sure its gonna cost me a bomb, but the only thing thart worries me is that they have a rule of bringing in cars which are less than 10yrs old. And my skyline will be 11 yrs old... But im sure there is way to get around that...

And seeing the Team BHP thread i just came to know that there is a R34 GTR in India.. Not many people know that there... So when i go there for holidays this time i will find out all the possible info on importing it..

Will keep u guyz Updated!!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
