Hey guys,

I'm a new user to the forums. I was looking to purchase a Skyline R34 4 door sedan, prefferably manual.

I was wondering if anyone knew roughly what the price range would be and what would best be the way of getting one,

Cheers.

i purchased my R34 2 door manual for $7400 in Japan, with aftermarket rims so the 4 door should be a bit cheaper. after that its all the expenses in shipping and compliance..

Hope this helps out

So how much did you pay altogether to get it on the road?

So about $13k - $15k landed and complied, give or take?

4 Doors will be a little bit cheaper. I would have a look at J-Spec Imports Auction Sale History so you can sort of put it all into perspective.

GT -> Basic 2L

GT25 -> Same as GT, but with 2.5L engine.

GT-Four -> Same as GT25, but with AWD

GT-x -> Same as a GT25. Equivalent to a premium model equipment wise, ie. factory privacy glass, double din "premium sound", xenon headlights, front strut brace, optional LSD, optional GTt wheels.

GTt -> turbo model of a GT25, with big brakes, HICAS, LSD

GTt-x -> turbo model of a GT-x, with big brakes, HICAS, LSD

GTv -> Same as GT25, but with big brakes, HICAS, LSD

Steve - do not loan money For an import, ever...

At least not through a bank...

Talk to either kristian from iron chef, or Ben from j-spec they may know a broker with whom they deal with on repeat referral etc.

However a bank needs to loan money AGAINST something, ie: something they can take if you default on your payments,

For instance

Car loan = car. No payment? Seize car.

Home loan = house. No payment? Seize house.

Bank will not provide a car loan for a car that is in Japan that they cannot seize.

Basically all a bank can generally offer is a higher interest rate unsecured personal loan, however that been said, save as hard as you can..

Less money lent, is less interest you pay... When importing a ER34 they aren't expensive so saving should be a bit of a cakewalk really..

Don't be afraid to shop around and use a broker you can trust :)

Ironchefimports

Importmonster

Jspec

Direct imported (hopefully he's not still angry with me)

Are just to name a few - they're all very capable .. Hardworking and willing :)

But yeah, generally speaking, a bank will not "give you" a car loan on a car they cannot seize - unless of course... youre willing to pay credit card interest on a 10 grand loan :)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
