I'm thinking about importing one. What do you guys think about it? I'm 17 at the moment, but I'll be 18 in a month, and I'll probably get a bomb til I get the money together, but it'll cost me max about $20,000 landed. The Non-Turbo helps me with the insurance and so on til I'm 21 or so and can afford it, and a 4 door is more practical for my needs. Anyway, just wanted to see what you all thought about the idea.

i've heard many on this forum say that the $difference between insurance costs for turbo skyline and na skyline are very small. they might not like the sound of 1998 either. but, get a quote from justcars etc and report back :D 13 13 26 for justcars.

good luck :)

That was the page that started this... ;) I sent an email to Geoff about it, as I don't have anywhere near what I'll need, and he's put me on the R34 Skyline list for a 7 day trial, to see the examples of what they get at auction. Can't wait til tomorrow, I'll have a lot of cars to look at. :D I'll give Justcars a call, and see what I can find out. Thanks heaps :)

why you wasting his time then? :)

I emailed him in regards to how often they get cars of this model and quality, and the avg price that they cost, landed, so that I can organise the money and so on. He's been very helpful about it, and I can't thank him enough for it.

Check the links buddy :D

The premium ended up being $3100 or so... :)

Damn the year - why didn't Nissan make them earlier? :(

I've pretty much set my sights on this though, and I may talk to 666Dan about the bolt-on turbo option, as this IS an RB25DE, so I should have quite some fun with it. :)

one of my mates bought a 4 door R32 made in 1989 (Bought it before the new rules so he imported it a month n a bit ago). Car cost him $1.50 to buy (no shit) coz it had an RB20E engine. It was an R32 GTE. All up at the end of it, it cost him $4800 to bring into the country.

$1.50

Some how i find that impossible to beleive!

No offence but i'm sure everyone else here will agree with me.

it does happen.....100 yen for a car... it would have cost the owner 5- 10,000 yen to dispose of other wise ...the car is scrap .as far as the japs are concerned worthless...and if you have ever driven one(na32) you`ll agree

as far as the japs are concerned worthless...and if you have ever driven one(na32) you`ll agree

lol.. about as great to them as probably a 1983 2L camira is to us.. I've seen give away prices. I mean here you can buy an old car for like $300 or even have to pay somebody to tow it away as it takes up space.

anyhow, sad to hear angelus.. but you could always get an old r31 and mack that up.. one day they'll be cool i swear.. go alright.. can keep up with stock r32 fine, go rev rev, broom broom.. you can spin one wheel really cool and annoy the population pulling out of places. you can turbo it and beat r32.. parts are cheap.. its still a skyline (yes the lowliest of skylines, but it has many of the skyline qualities).

I'm still thinking about it...I'll look around a bit more, do some more homework...maybe other people could help me out by giving me some estimates of what they paid for insurance back when they were 18 and paying for an R34. :rolleyes: I checked the Insurance thread, but I'm still not sure...The R34 is my ultimate gorgeous car, and I'll get one one way or another. :rofl:

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
