It's all about the car needing to meet certain criteria to be considered a "specialist and enthusiast vehicle" and in this case it did not meet the minimum power to weight ratio of 105kw/ton to be accepted.

It was too slow.

And to be honest I'm not sure of the allure, 34GTT is cheap enough these days surely; the import cost is more than the auction cost.

Oh, okay. I wasn't really thinking of importing an HR34, I was just interested why it wouldn't be allowed to be imported.

Although the HR34 (2000cc non-turbo) can't be imported, you can still import the ER34 which comes in a 2500cc non-turbo version very cheaply .. possibly as cheap as $7,000 landed and complied for a sedan or $9,000 landed and complied for a coupe, and this is for decent cars with around 100,000km genuine and no accident history.

Yeah, I was looking at the 25GT-T sedan, particularly these: https://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan%20car/nissan/skyline/16516335/ https://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan%20car/nissan/skyline/16930297/

Please do not pay much attention to TradeCarView as there are a LOT of scams there and many of the cars either don't exist or are seriously misrepresented.

If this car was real and genuine which there are reasons to doubt already, it would end up with a landed and complied cost around $16,000 in Australia.

This one is a much better price for this sort of car and would end up costing around $7,700 landed and complied in Australia. You would still need to check the car for accident history and make sure it's genuine.

I would strongly suggest auctions as a better place to look, we can get bargains for you there and have every car checked out in person before bidding so there is no guess work.

Thank you for the information. Can you please point me to the websites for the auctions?

Actually I can help you find suitable cars, have them inspected and bid on the good ones. Then once we have a car I will arrange import, compliance and everything else for you.

I had no idea about this Craig... thank you very much!

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
