I know someone will direct me toward the best person/company, or it may be even one of our resident car importers(Beer Baron, Iron Chef ...) that will get my business, and that will make me happy.

I'm in Melb, and seriously I cannot find anything decent in the country/carsales that catches my attention.

There are a few of those ones on Carsales, but they are mostly modded, or they have questionable kms, 30,000kms with worn steering wheel and worn seats, pff, no way, maybe more like 130,000kms - so I'm after a fresh one, with some history backing up the odo readings and its condition.

One of those that you can see with the seat covers and steering covers on in Japanese car yards. Something like this, but hopefully cheaper:Excellent condition R34 V-spec II

I'm basically after a 100% stock, excellent condition V-Spec II or the Nur. My preference is silver, or blue if no silver ones are around.

If its impossible to find stock I would be willing to go for a minor modded ones, exhaust, wheels, pods but nothing that would have damaged the interior(drilling dash for gauges etc):Slightly modded V-spec II

So, what do people reckon - who do I go and talk to that will get me this beast - and I want to have 100% confidence that when these guys buy it its gonna be ok, and inspected properly.

I'm in no hurry, so basically would love to have a car by 1st October, so second half of the year is what I'm looking in getting it in my garage.

Anybody, I'm all ears, listening to suggestions.

Gotta get the ball rolling.

I've sent you a pm too. My advice is don't choose a broker/importer/exporter based on price or promise of cheap cars. You want someone who is not afraid to search for you for a few months if need be, and someone who is not afraid to inspect and reject a few cars before finding the mint condition one you're after. in return you'll need a realistic budget in order to win that special car when it does come up and apart from that just some patience!

Good luck with the hunt. With the right advice you will be able to get something really special. :domokun:

^^ Well said. I'm sure I said it elsewhere, but speak to a few people and see who you feel most comfortable working with too.

Richard if you ever want to come and work for Iron Chef Imports, let me know :domokun:

im after the same thing can you email me details thanks mate

what is it that one would expect to be the difference between a V-Spec II and a V-Spec II Nur? I ask as I don't know and I'm admittedly hoping that you'll collectively pardon my laziness and someone will take 2 minutes to type 3 lines to explain!?

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
