Yeah have seen couple of pics of it and it looks amazing. Have you considered importing? I went thru J-Spec they are really good you just tell em what you want, budget and they start looking only extra fee is 1200 on top of total car price. But a good service

A V-Spec II NUR just went through auction in Japan with 338,000 kms on it, the price? 7,000,000 JPY which is roughly $88,900 AUD!

Get a nice GT-R while you still can...

See my above post, importing is getting expensive now that North America and the Middle East are interested in these cars.

You can probably find a clean car already in the country for less than importing one yourself from Ja-pan.

WTF? man thats crazy, so R35's should start dropping then?

WTF? man thats crazy, so R35's should start dropping then?

R35s have been dropping for a few years now.

There are a few things to remember -

- The R34 was the rarest of the modern GT-Rs, there were significantly less of them made than the R32 and R33.

- The R34 had a few different model varients (like the V-Spec II NUR, N1 and M-Spec) which had reasonable changes over a normal R34 making them more desirable over a normal model than say an R33 GT-R LM is over a normal R33 GT-R.

- Americans are starting to purchase GT-Rs years before they are eligible to import into the USA and storing them meaning demand is greater and whilst supply remains the same, if not smaller. (There are certainly less stock ones going through auction in Japan each passing year).

- As of next year the R35 will be 10 years old and still in production (which I quite frankly think is lazy on Nissan's behalf, we deserve an R36 already)! Nissan hasn't had a production run on a GT-R even close to 10 years, ever. Couple that with the fact that the R35 was an international release (available in places brand new like the USA and Australia) where as the R34 was Japan only. There are a bucket load more 35s than 34s out there which means they are easier than ever to get your hands on one forcing market pricing down rather than up like the R34.

Haha :P

I've now been around the scene long enough and know enough people to know what's going on, but it's all common sense really.

As awesome and fast as an R35 would be, I'd take a nice R34 every day of the week. IMO they are the best looking Skyline/GT-R and will always have that bedroom poster/hero status. I think the smile factor of driving an RB powered R34 GT-R is where its at.

And here I thought you only knew about shoes ;)

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
