Hey everyone,

Just put a deposit on a auto 98 r34 gt t but have some questions about the car. First off ive never owned a skyline so my knowledge is very limited. Anwyays the car im going to purchase has just been imported to Australia and is going to get complianced sometime next week. I was told that its no longer a plate and is now a sticker. Is this true?

Also being a fresh import is there anything i need to look out for? (i would be the first registered owner) Im a little concerned because im getting the car for very cheap. So something must be up unless his being honest and he needs the money desperately to get his other cars into oz.

A friend of mine said to call nissan and give them the vin number or model number cause some people are bolting on turbos to non turbos and selling them as turbos.

And finally if anyone has anything at all, even something simple they could share with me on what to look for on a R34 i would really appericiate it.

Thanks smile.gif

Dunno about the sticker....it should be a plate still, stickers can be lost pretty easily.

Imports are cheap, but the importing costs like customs, rego, compliance, etc all add up.

You can enter the VIN or model number into software called Nissan FAST to see what setup it had at the factory, or ring Nissan with the engine number and see if it was a factory turbo. There's no harm in bolting on turbo's as long as no corner's are cut - its a pretty common conversion in almost any import.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
