Maybe try autoshop

www.autoshop.net.au

but it depends on what mods you want? engine mods? or wheels, paint and bodykits?

Umm well can I ask why you are looking to buy from a car yard/importer? did you buy your car from one of these establishments? I am not a fan of car yards the only good thing about them is the fact that they give you a warranty. And besides if you are looking for a decently modified, (engine mods: cooler, bigger turbo, fuel pump, clutch) car then from what I have seen there are not too many good examples in car yards, most have been thrashed, or just have general mods like wheels and paint/kit. I believe that if you are serious about buying a quality skyline you should check out the trading post. www.tradingpost.com.au At least then you will have a decent range to choose from and also have more of a chance of securing something that you want in terms of mods/condition/klms etc and probably save a few grand while you go.

My thoughts anyway.

Yeah i too would be looking at the trading post / internet forums, like 09ONE_32 said, most yards will only have cosmetic mods done to the cars or basic exhaust/filter mods....

Street machines is located just south of brisbane (about 5-10mins out of town along Ipswich Rd.) Not far from the Gabba.

Cameron,

I just picked up my R33 GTST not more than two weeks ago. I bought from Autoforce at Underwood, the service was excellent adn the price was really good. Not only that, but they also have a great network of suppliers and mechanics for all your future needs. Give them a call - the owner is Kevin Lee and they are online at www.autoforce.com.au

You're not going to find many modified ones at dealers, and in fact they're becoming rarer because of the new import laws.

Southport on the Gold Coast seems to have a stack of import dealers (Ferry Road). So if you wanna take the 50min drive down the Pacific Highway, its probably not a bad place to look.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
