lol cheers for the plugs you guys, I'm embarrassed!

Tell your mate to give me a buzz and I'll ask around and see what's available locally for him. I don't carry my stock but I still have the mad hook-upzzz with dealers.

He decided to settle on private interstate buys lol friggin knuckle head!

I told him to get the full stateroads inspection also, that saved my life on my last car as i scored a real beauty in NSW.

I was in a similar situation before, was looking at private vs importing.

Ended up importing through Iron Chef. Everything was smooth and he is awesome to deal with.

Few little quirks but that was not his fault at all, everything was back on track quickly!

Glad I imported through him, car has been checked out by a local Evo specialist shop and they reckon its one of the better 7's they've seen.

I'm now in love with it :blush:

Only thing that turned me off purchasing interstate was that the money needs to be paid up front and its virtually the same as importing besides being a lot quicker.

You also have to budget in stock parts for the car as most are modified in one way or another. Also probably costs more purchasing a car compared to importing.

Importing allowed me to save money while the car was coming over to pay for insurance, rego, stamp duty, insurance etc..

Also person I know bought a 33 GTR interstate, saw it in the flesh. Purchased it, dropped it off at the depot. Picked it up at the Perth Depot. Drove it around for about 30 mins. Gearbox went clunk, opened the gearbox and 3rd gear was smashed. Was fine before it left and had only 2km difference in odometer readings before and after picking it up.

Omport a car. At least you can trust the tight rules in Japan as to the history of the car.

Here most cars get their clocks wound back. And have no history that can be trusted.

The super high k cars at auction that are immaculate sell for almost as much as legit low k car's as clocking them is so easy.

Go to Sydney or Melbourne like I did, much cheaper and you can get them mostly stock as well.

LOL.....Sydney is the best are getting 150,000km cars in Japan, and them coming in with 55,000km haha.

If he does go interstate, be REALLY anal about checking the car. If it reflects the k's than go for it, but there are plenty of tell tale signs of the cars being wound back.

you should look locally as there are some nice R33 coupes going for around about that price mate.....this is what a quick search on car sales brings up :)

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
