Hey guys,

Been awhile since ive been on here. Seems forever since i owned the Purple R33 GTR.... But the bug of a GTR is biting again, mayb!

Im looking this time for a R34 GTR. But on carsales etc there doesnt seem to be to many coming up etc.

So with the Aussie dollar strong and what not, i was thinking of mayb importing one.

Who here has imported a car to adelaide?

Whos a decent REPUTABLE company to talk to and get some rough quotes on price?

Does anyone know roughly what a 34 GTR is worth landed and complied here?

Anything i should watch out for or any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

Adam

just bought one for a friend,

dont expect them to be any cheaper over there than they are here.

they are still holding their value quite well... that is unless you want a clapped out one

Just out of interest - how much are you hoping you would get one for landed and complied? I thought about importing too, but the cars I liked on the auction sites I saw weren't exactly cheap, with most (grade 4 and above with lowish km's) working out around $55k landed and complied. As above give Christian a call - I'm sure he'd give you a good idea about cost etc....

J-Spec

Currently getting my R34 GTR through them and this is my second car via J-Spec

being very good to deal with and very patient

I got my GTR just 2 weeks ago "still in transit" after bidding and loosing at auctions for a while as i need V-Spec for Non V-Spec money :)

Got a Black V-Spec around 61,000Km, non accident, Rust for 45K landed and complied, which i though was nice.

They give you plenty of photos and report as well

few nice goodies on it as well

There are Few Nice Silver R34 GTR in Australia and some White ones, but no other colors unless you want to pay a lot of money

by the way Aussie $ against the Yen has not changed much

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
