thanks mate, since youve done it before you seem to know what your talking about.

the thing is im not worried about any costs outside of japan. I can take care of that piece of cake (and i do not want to overstate).

fact of the matter is im hoping to find a 34gtr for the 50k mark in great nick. do you think this is possible and if so who do i speak to?

Cheers

im glad to say i can take care of import, compliance etc.. myself.

the main concern is i need a car that is in top nick v-spec or whatever for around the 40-50.

regardless of LCT, import tax es, compliance etc - the base price for a worthwhile GTR is going to be at least $50k. If you want a pristine v-spec/II, or above, then expect to pay at least another $10-20k.

A $40k r34 gtr in the current market is, putting it bluntly, one hell of a risk. A $50k car is probably going to be a compromise, be it in quality or kms.

daioni: mmm i dont object, you could be right, when it comes down to it in anycase weather u pay 100k or 40k still u dont know what the hell ur buying anyways until it gets here. so around 60-70 bracket hey? thats duable, what about the one you showd me b4 is that cheaper just cos of the k's?? were is that car anyways and how did you come across it (mind you if u come across more let me know) email [email protected] cos i have to go out tonight my girl is hasslin me haha..

2gu up 2: you have any leads?

if you are prepared to pay around $65 k landed and complied here check your pm .

you are right on the $40 - 50 k but dont forget you have to pay 15 % import duty + 10 % gst plus shipping costs + compliance so the $40 k car in japan becomes a $60 k car by the time you get it here and comply it + rego + stamp duty ( you will pay stamp duty on any car local or not ).

$50,000 to buy a car which is 4,000,000 yen which will get a early V-spec if lucky, which is $76,000 plus rego.

If you donate $1,000 to the Red Cross intsead I can put you in the right direction free of charge. And you can bring in your own car.

Below is a breakdwon, email me direct if you have any questions, just dont pay $1,000.

Enter the car cost (in Japanese YEN) ¥4,000,000

Exchange rate (yen to AU$) 78.00

Car cost in Japan - first payment due $51,282

LOCAL COSTS

Shipping $1,400 + depends on port.

Import Duty (15% of FOB cost) $7,692

G.S.T. (10% of CIF value) $6,010

plus Luxury Car Tax (if applicable) $2,745

Enter the cost of compliance $6,500

Any extra costs (alarm, stereo, etc.)

Total cost before registration (AU$) $75,629

and finally...how stupid do you think DOTARS are if you fudge a 40,000km BNR34 VSpec for 2Mil or less. Believe me they also have their contacts here in Japan.
He *could* get that King Buyer 34 GT-R for 1.8 mil... :P

you would still have to strip your heavily modified GTR of all aftermarket parts and then have those parts destroyed and signed to be eligible for compliance plate down here, so you're better off looking for a mint stocker probably a grade 4.

try the guys at http://www.japanautodirect.com its owned by an aussie, and they're pretty well known in the industry to wind back km's and other shifty business.

all i can add is www.kobecars.com

David Zozuk runs the show. He will purchase in auctions for you. if your interested in a particular car, he'll go take pictures and check the car for any obvious faults.

he's been exporting for many years but he just upgraded his webpage, which is why theres isnt a couple of thousand cars on there.

is it worthwhile taking the risk through that company king-buyer? i went on the site and unfortunately i cant understand much but im not 100% convinced.

?

Nah man, all the comments about King Buyer were tounge in cheek. I think Demon Dave posted up some quite interesting links regarding King Buyer aka Kaisousha (sp?)... dodgy.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..   
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
