There is a good example ,Lot #873940 at 04/08/2005

Nissan Skyline, 1998

Frame: ER34 Color: white

Run (ths km): 97 Equipment: AC AW PS PW

Mark: 4 Grade: coupe GT-T

Displacement: 2500 Syaken:

Transmission: F5

Nissan Skyline, 1999

Frame: ER34 Color: white

Run (ths km): 27 Equipment: AC PS PW

Transmission: F5

Price in Japan - 1671000 ¥

As you can see they can vary a lot depending on k's and condition .

Thats pure auction prices you have to add all the extras to that , like dereg , transport and wharf fees in Japan , shipping , customs and q.t. fees here as well as 10% import duty , 10% gst and $ 4 - 6 k for compliance , then your normal rego , ctp and stamp duty .

RiFT^[R]']how much is that in australia money?

It depends on when you buy , at the moment its around $1 aud = 82 jpy .

Working on that one car is $20378 and the other $13682 ..

By the time you get them in Australia and registered in your name ( including stamp duty ) , one car will be about ( depending on compliance cost say $5 k )

The 1.671 mil car will be about $35500-36000 .

The 1.122 mil about $27-28 k

Why waste you time importing when i can see a couple of good R34 here in australia for sale >>>>>>.http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=70376

Remember you cant get bank loan's on un-registered cars so you'd better have ALL the money to get it on the road, before you even think about going ex JAp.

that's bs, I got my 34 with a bank loan and got it imported from japan. About $22,000 was mine just for the car and add about i think it was 5 or 8000 for shipping, customs, gst, etc. Remeber they're a 35 - 40,000 dollar car and it nearly costs you the same price as the car to get it here and on the road.

Well Nsmo34 your a lucky man and probally cause your in QLD.

I have imported over 10 cars and some for other little punks and thier banks would never let them take out a loan on a car unless it had a REGO number. Dont shoot the messenger but that was the deal in SA. Im just making the guy aware that if he Buying O/S and is financing make sure the bank will cough up before he signs the paperwork.

I got a 2000 gt-t for 30k on road in australia.

auction sheet is clean as a whistle. And it is bayside blue a hard colour to get.

pretty stock, quick shift kit, suspension, is about it, no stereo.

Will let you know if i find any surprises in about a month or so.

check it out here (I bought it directly from a jap exporter, no aussie middle man)

tdawg >>>> Fair considering its got over a 110Km on the clock. are they going to let you keep the suspension after complience ? and what have they done with the xenon lights can you keep em or do you have to shell out for the holegens for compliance still.

Question but >>>> if they are an exporter who have they "quoted" to complience and is it a fixed price, i would be calling the complience people in Aust before you pay out Japan if its not a Aus based Jap exporter to be sure your " included " price has no surprises as you say.

Happy R34 ing and hope it all works out for ya !

Like the no wing thing looks good.

Dunno about there but you just get unsecured loans and its all good. That was with commonwealth and you would think they wouldn't change the rules for a different state

Maybe it was a Junior thing all these kids that went for these cars where 90% plus loand and under 21 so maybe the bank had "special " rules for them. Probally good idea as most of them sold them with in 12 months as they couldnt keep up the payments (mac 'ers cant be paying much ) ehehehe

what are you talking about mate? The car is mine when it hits the docks, I choose when to take it to compliance. I only take it there when it has no mods that need to be taken off to have it complianced.

the exporter hasnt quoted me anything.. all he does is tell you how much the car costs 1.4 million yen and you pay it and pay the FOB he has nothing to do with anything else.

organising compliance and import approval are what you do.

You are getting confused by what aussie import brokers do. They create a package and pretend they actually do something for you apart from make some calls and forward some emails. (all of which you can do yourself)

Each stage in the import process is simple it just requires time and money.

sorry to go off topic

I have no idea mate, I didnt even know there were two series, thats probably why mine is cheaper. Series two is probably in more demand.

got a pic of your interior?

his one was produced before august 2000. that why it retained the s1 look.

Very little diff between s 1 and s 2 in the r34 's .

tdawg not a bad looking car you have there , you have to make sure there is no accident history though . R grade cars are a lot cheaper but under the current law you cant comply them in australia .

Autos and 4 door cars are much cheaper ( there is very few 34 manuals in japan )

Here is an example of a R car .

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
