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.

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...

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
