my mates 34 vspec2 was in the workshop for 2 months waiting for a plate to get approved or somethin when he got his complied, dunno bout how much it cost him but u can find a place that does it here...

well, 34 plates were going to start out at like $5500, but seem to have dropped significantly. around $4000. So i think $4000-4500 would be a fair estimate.

my car has been at the compliance workshop for 6 months :P

R34 GTR's are a different world, a lot of recalls and parts are not cheap.

The one workshop I know that can comply them quote $10,000 including pads and tyres so the tyre kickers go away and they only comply good cars that buyers are willing to pay their fee.

Expect $7,000 to $8,000 plus parts for a proper job off a workshop that will be around more than 6 months.

Not need to tell me I am kidding either, R33s are $1,000 more so if it isnt in writing and not a test car price don't believe them as some people are under quoting to bring the customer in then hit them when they pick the car up, no payment no car.

i got two prices first $8,000 hence the second price $4,400. and there are cheap ones out there imports 101 had one for about $50,000 it's not that much more than an R33 GTR when you realy look at it just save your ass off you will get there

50k sounds about right for a used r34 GTR with high km's...

You think so , i like to see one for that in australia , actualy i'll buy all you can get me for $50 k in aus .

The minimum you will pay for a none accident 99 mod at a jap auction is 3 million jpy and it will have over 70 k ks on the clock and a lot of rust .

Add to that 80-100,000 jpy for fob then add 10% import duty + $2000 aud to ship it and customs q/t then add to all that 10 % gst .

Thats already over $50 k then add to that $4000 to compy it + 1000 for cheap tyres + you will probably need brake pads and maybe rotors .

At the very minimum you will be looking at $60k + rego about $2.5- 3 k .

I forget to add 5% consumption tax to the auction price as well .

Who is doing it for $4,400.

I can get you a plate for $4 k + tyres + brakes if needed + any repairs you may need .

The 4 K includes h/lights as well + all the usual stuff but brakes are very expensive for the gtr.

I can get a full set of GTR brake pads for $970 delivered, is it Zoran or Simon at that price.

3 different places in Sydney that will do a plate for $4 k , actualy one will do it for less and that includes a blue and import approval as well , a long way from 6+ k they were asking about a year ago .

This week a dealer who had 3 in stock was trying to replace it and it was that expencive for a good car and it was going to cost $80,000 to land it.

I was in Japan last november - december and i went to lots of auctions looking for a r34 gtr , i know you will pay over 4 million jpy at auction for a good series 1 car with no accident history and reasonable ks .

I saw a nur m-spec and they wanted 7.8 million jpy .

I ended up buying a 2001 m-spec .

    • 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.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
