Carmon Imports are about to have ther R34's on there list it will be there first car to be imported.

Cross over car conversions were going to comply R34's but if you look at there list they have enough cars on there are the moment and I am not to sure if they will have them on at all.

Shogun car company in Brisbane are doing the testing for the R34's and are waiting to get som results back so then they will be able to import them.

Give it a month or 2 and they will be flocking in. Ohh and dont expect to pay over $34,000 for a very nice R34.

EJ. What Duncan is trying to say is that because the rules for importing recently changed that meant the r34's couldnt be imported until the import companies had obtained their licenses. Which no-one has done yet. Or something like that.

The reason Police used WRX's was that it was a locally sold car like the Fords and Holdens. They are not going to import cars for their use because that would be a waste of taxpayers money.

you cant import them in the u.s for a few reasons,

1) wrong hand drive...

2)as the same as tt supra manuals they do not comply with eps standards(i think that only means the GTRs thou) could be wrong.

3) there is only 1 big place that does a swap with a left hand drive.

but not because they are 2 quick. think about 5.0s and R33 gtrs, they are almost as quick. tt supras,10sec civics(i know that is not standard) but alot of cars are quicker than a R34...

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
