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

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
