hey everyone i've spent a decent amount of time looking around and deciding on a car. I was going for an r33 but i had the issue of size, being a larger guy so ive decided on an r34. Im only going to be on my p's so i need a non turbo and would love to know if anyone knows of places i can get one for around 6-9k which i know can be done from what i have seen but am really interested in a coupe model im from melbourne so if anyone knows anything please let me know where they are!
i am happy to import if need be provided it keeps with in my price range.

It's not worth going through the import process for a non-turbo r34. Anything short of a very good condition GT-R (there's plenty here too), you'd be better sourcing locally.

6-9k is going to be a BIG stretch though mate. From what I've seen, you're probably looking at 9-12k. 9k will almost certainly be an auto that's not going to be in top condition as well. I'd keep saving to be honest. Like with all skylines; any money you save by buying the cheapest car in the short term is going to cost you a lot more down the track.

Edit: Also, it's not a fine science.....finding these cars. The two best places to look will be here or on another classifieds website. We don't keep a secret list for those who ask.

well going through what ive seen localy there are quite a few in the 12k mark i know that much but if you take the time to really go through it ive found a fair few that are sitting at the range im after, Again going thorugh that list drop down the trash boxes that the young teens think is the way to treat the car. but these sit around 156xxxks so idk ill check it out but thanks for the advice matey actually much apreciated.

I'd also almost ignore the odometer reading on all Skylines, they're never going to be legitimate kilometres on the car from new. They're a guide at best. The best use of an odometer reading is to get the best history on the car that you can. I own an R32 GT-R that was imported with (a probably false) 76,000km in 2009 and I bought it last year. It sits at 120,000km now and I had a full file of receipts and history from 76,000km when it came into the country until now. That's worth something.

Good luck with it all. Be patient, do your research and you'll find something you want.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
