I dont see why they are worth that much. They are a very 80s car, it has a really average red top motor, there slow, there interiors are very dated etc - i rekon im after a fair price.

To get a cheap but ok quality car: 150000yen: $2000.00aud

de reg fee, fob fee, buyer fee: 90000yen: $1200aud

broker fee $1100aud

ship to aus: $1400 aud

10% duty + 10%gst (i use 126% total multiply): $520aud

Cleaning, clearance, cartage, unload, internal transit (could be any amount): $700.00aud

Shipping to compliancer: $100.00 (unless d plated)

Compliance inc airco filler valve and rec/driers: $1350.00 (if your lucky)

New tyres (will have shit tyres ex japan - guaranteed!): $500 (crap set)

Sooooo... we are at $8870.00

Nuf said?

The above would be close to the amount you would pay for a decent car. It does not include any mechanical drama's.

boj01 had it right - he just typed less than me. Lazy bugger

Cheers,

Hahaha your too right Ken. I've heard enough lately of people wanting to buy cars for next to nix. It's a simple fact that even a car obtained for free from Japan, will cost you around the $3000 mark just in shipping/taxes/duties etc.

You may be lucky to find one at that price in Australia, but in ordinary condition and the seller will most likely be taking a bust!

Yeah steve

I know the prices etc im just testing the water. The bug has bitten and ive realised I cant live without my Nissans :D - Im really keen on getting into a skyline, and now since ive been driving my camry for so long, i really miss and appreciate how lucky I was to own my old car or ANY type of skyline for that matter. I wish I could still have a car like my old one, unfortunately not cops are too hard on people, hence I want a nice standardish Stock car, and a 31 GTSx is the least common of them, i dont care if it runs 17s, id be just content with owning one.

my old coupe is for sale, around 8-9k i think.

it was the cleanest coupe in Aust by far.

Way nicer than anything i'd ever seen. Went smooth as sily.

Mostly stock. Just zorst and a chip, couple psi and was nice to drive compared to what i have now :D

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
