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.

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
