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.

Guest darrinspencer
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.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
