hey,

i am looking to import a r34 gt non turbo from japan, i heard a few months back that r34s couldnt be imported because compliance plates were not avaialable or something, is this still the case or can they imprted and complied now?

also does anyone know of any good importers to go through or maybe even imported a skyline themselves through an australian importer?

just dont know a lot about this so any advice/help would be greatly appreciated

thanks a lot guys!

Amazing - someone actually wanted a R34 GT :)

Crossover in Melbourne is probably the only place left with R34 plates, the other place in Sydney got rid of them within a week. Within the next 2 months there should be a few more RAWS with R34 on their schedule, depending on how they go with the nice engineers from DoTaRS.

As for people to assist you in bringing it in, the usual - J-Spec, Prestige, couple of the others on the rotating banner.

(note to self: maybe there is a market for non-turbo R34's..bring that cheapie in lol)

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
