Hi Every1, Im looking at buying a r34 gtr.

I have found one but it was imported by a dealer called 'All Imports'.

I have googled them and am a bit hesitant to buy cause this dealer imported it and feedback on other forums is not too delightful.

Ive also seen that majority of their cars (including this gtr) have very low km and no auction sheets dereg papers or log books can be provided.

There is a lot of rubbish on the internet. Has any1 here had any dealings with them? Or would u buy a car that was imported by them?

Regardless I will be getting a full comprihensive check done on it and also a compression check before moving forward. It could be a diamond in a coal mine.

Thanx.

Hey, not trying to sell on my client or anything, but you should check out Sports Auto Group (www.sportsautogroup.com.au), they got me to make commercials for them so I go in and out of the dealership. They are selling those imports like hot cakes. Plus got me in love with the GTR R34. Make sure you do your research before diving into any GTR.

Didn't end up buying Stephen's car? If I remember correctly, he had all papers including the original manual in Japanese and even the business card of the car salesman!whistling.gif

I wish Lyndon. Perfect car but such a shame its on the other side of the country to me.

Have you asked him what he did about shipping when he bought it? Pretty sure he went all the way to Melbourne to find it.

have you seen the ones at sports auto group?

maybe that's basically the same company as you've titled this thread just a different branch. (i don't know).

I think there's 2 or 3 blue GTR's there. You seen them? any thoughts? interested to know because i've had a browse there as well, but not as into blue.

with all due respect mate, if you are happy to pay 40 odd thousand dollars for a car, why is it such a big deal to spend a a few hundred dollars on air fares to pick it up?

Its okay, fair question. Im happy to explore Brisbane or QLD for cars and drive them back, but Perth just a bit too far for me.

Personal preference, I wouldnt really want to drive it back (Incase something happened to go wrong with the car, dude have you seen wolf creek?) and I wouldnt be able to get the time off work to do it either.

Im happy to wait for one to pop up a bit closer, was looking at one in Melbourne that was very sexy but turned out to be a kaizo kit car from the states unfortunately.

I bought my first R32 GTR from Queensland , payed top dollar for it , made sure it was registered first in Queensland all good .

Brought back to Adelaide via Ceva and took car through for a full inspection to get registered and was told it had no ADRs done at all . I was like WTF

No side intrusion bars , no child restraints , wrong compliant seat belts , list went on and on !!!

Decided to get a mechanic to do all ADRs , replace turbs , timing belts and full bush kit throughout car . 8k+ $600 Ceva later on top of initial 27k . See where im going with this be careful !!!!!!!!

Then after she was all sweet , i got T-Bone by a bitch in a 4WD , car was a right off . My car gone now it was worse than a death in the family .

+ an export certificate showing the mileage

All lmports supplied me with an export cert for a car I had placed a deposit on. 'Last Inspection Mileage' section had been edited in a graphics suite, and the English format date did not correspond with the Japanese format date. Apparently had 55,000km 2 weeks before it was derego'd (according to export cert), selling it with the odo at 61,000km. They blamed the large km difference on the 'supplier' of the car, saying the car had to be driven to Canberra and back for compliance work.

Still waiting for my deposit back...

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
