New Member, Looking At An R34 Gtr - Advice Needed


Recommended Posts

my eyes water when I see those figures.

how much do they charge for compliance?

$2.5k for compliance

$1,900 shipping

$2k Import tax (if car is worth roughly 40k)

$4k-5k GST

$1,100 for brokers fees.

ah I didn't realise you meant just for purchase price. Yeah i know they have a silver one for sale but they also have a white Vspec for sale too. Congrats on the purchase anyway, it looked like a great car.

So yesterday I picked up my new car.

Bayside Blue R34 GTR Vspec. :yes:

Thank you to everyone who posted and shared their information & views. I'm looking forward to meeting a few people at the next meet.

A bigger thank you to the people who went out of their way to help me and give me good information. Much appreciated.

Can anybody recommend me a place in Melbourne to do a RWC?

Car is standard other than pod filters and an exhaust. I took it in today to a local place and he said he can't do it because the car is modified!! I mentioned it's only the pods and exhaust and he said it will take him too long to figure out if it's legal or not! I thought that if you do RWC's for a job you'd already know this stuff.

Looking for someone in the western suburbs preferably, and someone who I can trust with my car.

Thanks

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
