Hey Guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows what R34 V-Spec II's are actuallying selling for at the moment?
I have a rough idea from auction starting prices etc. but never get see what they actually end for.

I'm hoping to start looking for one to import at the end of this month but the budget im aiming for is 55k max, including compliance, shipping, rego and everything else that goes with it.

Basically what im asking is if its possible to get a decent V-Spec II within my budget with low k's and as clean as possible, no or very little scratches inside and out.

It's probably asking alot for what im wanting to pay, but thought i would just check incase lol.

Any help would be great.

3 million yen at today's rated exchange 1 to 1 approx $48,000 - $50,000 landed complied

condition you would be getting grade 4 car with under 100,000klm or very close to it.

these Vspec2 are a little harder to buy but with the right person giving you auction access should be able to allow you to search and see for yourself.

According to J-Spec's calculator, I get the following for a 3 mil car:

AU$ 1,100 J-Spec fee
AU$ 28,645 car cost
COST IN JAPAN = AU$ 29,745
AU$ 1,084 ocean freight
AU$ 4,620 import duty & GST
AU$ 1,100 customs clearance
FREIGHT COSTS = AU$ 6,804
compliance (not specified)
other costs (not specified)
AU$ 1,718 rego & stamp duty
LOCAL COSTS = AU$ 1,718
ON-ROAD COST = AU$ 38,267

Does this sound about right?

Ye that sounds pretty accurate but keep in mind that the auction STARTING prices range from low 3 mil up to 5 and a half mil (for genuine v spec II 5As). What they usually end up going for is quite a bit more than that (in the case of auctions starting at the lower end). So basically with that budget you could expect something mid range. I'd say 4B with probably just over 100000 genuine km. The exchange rate now is better than it was a year or two ago but is still nothing in comparison to what it was 4-5 years ago. Your best bet is finding a clean one in the country that was imported before the slump in exchange rates which would see you paying now roughly 30% more for the same car than you would back then.

I don't quite follow this part. Do you mean finding one in Japan or aus?

lol the exchange rate is 30% BETTER for us, not worse!

Sorry my bad, I've dropped off the loop a bit with the exchange rate. Since I was in Japan a few months ago the exchange rate has improved significntly. Still not as high as it was a few years ago when 1 AUD was buying more than 110 yen, (now costing ~10% more not 30% as I'd mentioned when comparing) but at 1 AUD currently buying over 100 yen, it's certainly a good time to import. The last time we saw exchange rates this good was years ago. I retract my previous comments....... until the exchange rate drops again!!

    • 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.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
