darrinspencer, my point is that the condition of the cars will be very poor, and im pretty sure it isn't worth wasting you money on, as you would need to fix so many things

I agree there are some poor quaility 15 yr old GTR in japan.

Prestige have high prices

A mate of mine bought his 95 33 gtst from them it owed him $22,000 plus rego.

i admit it had a nice aftermarket body kit.

I payed $12,500 plus rego and tyres

Put the cars side by side and the only difference is the body kit.

You need to shop around.

Buying any car thru a Australian dealer you will have pay a price

That's why they are in bussiness.

we all would like to drive a 34 GTR done 10,000km, but who has $65,000 plus to buy one

I know i don't.

Plus, i drive my GTS-t to the shop and back so if i where to replace it with a GTR YES i would drive that to the shop and back to.... i don't get your point... there are flogged out cars everywhere... there are also good cars everywhere...

this one looks ok... http://www.cineaction.co.jp/japanese_used_...gi?did=10013876

also, i'd never want a car that's only been driven to the shops and back because once you give it a bootfull the piston rings etc are gonna go "oh my god, i've never been worked this hard in my life, bye bye!!!"

ok DJ984 im not going to post in this topic anymore, becuase you don't understand the point i am tring to make, you are acting like a little child, i am right and you are wrong 13_devil.

"we ARE realistic..." -yeap sure you are, you should all make an importing company im sure you would make a heap

so go ahead buy your 89gtr, i was just tring to help cya

DJ984, what i was tring to say was that the dream gtr

female driver - driven only to the shops and back low km , top condition for 15k is just a mthy i have never seen such a car

You will in 2004 because you no longer have to comply them at a cost of $6600

plus they are a bit cheaper in japan now and the exchange rate

12 months ago you would have payed about $24,000 for the same car that you can now buy for $15,000 in 2004.

Would paying $24,000 for the same car be any better.

Think about it.

like i said go ahead buy a 89gtr, and import 100 of them for everyone else and make 200% profit like someone already said

13_devil

I will gladly sell you a car in 2004 for $25,000 if you think you will be getting a good buy because you payed top dollar.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
