greetings, after trying to learn as much as possible about the importing process and now having sufficient funds I’ve decided to take the plunge however not exactly sure what I can afford. I definitely want an R34 and have roughly $26-28k to spend all up (excluding registration) My question is with my budget would I bet better off going for the non turbo or turbo? Taking into consideration I would much rather get a good condition GT with low kilometres than a low grade GTT with 100,000km+. If anyone knows roughly what these two vehicles are going for and/or has some links that would be most appreciated (also I am looking for 2dr 5spd man) Cheers in advance

J-Spec are your friends. They will find you the perfect car and make the process really easy.

If you were one of my close friends and were considering a non-turbo I would slap you silly. You wont be happy if you buy a NA one and then drive a Turbo one.

You can't use the insurance to high excuse Just Cars is cheap as.

Please buy a turbo !

Hope this helps.

cheers for the help guys, first things first i'll make sure i can get insurance, i had a look at the sold vehicles on prestigemotorsport.com and the turbos seen to be selling from about 27 upwards, most in the low 30's though, hopefully something decent will come up! i'll also get in touch with jspec (as you suggested dsteffe) and see what they say

Hey

I got my R34 from these guys in the north (northshoreprestige.com.au) and it is a complete charm. I'm still yet to find out if $28K was a bargain or not for a Tiptronic GTT with 38K kms on it, but go visit their site and I'm sure you'll be surprised, if you are serious about it, I could probably organise for a better price as well since I have a personal connection with them.

If your new to imports a word of advice, pay no attention to km's on the cars, nearly all Jap cars are wound back before being sold to us :( Pay attention to the condition of the whole car, seats, steering wheel, handbrake boots, brake/clutch/acel pedals.

its not so much i want to get an r34 to turn heads, personally i just think they are a better looking car and far less common, obviously id rather go the gtt but dont wanna get something in poor condition if thats all i can afford

Hi reggin,

Well i just got my r34 GT-T this one is going to be my third skyline first one was a 95 GTS-T 1.5 r33 2nd one was a 96 r33 series 2 and now a r34 GT-T all up i think this car will cost me around the 26k mark not 100% sure atm but i truely beleive if your going to come into the world of skylines get a turbo version. They are much more fun i'd recommend J-spec but i imported this one all myslef with help from friends but if this is your first import go with j-spec and ask for either Ben or Grath (spell).

Should have my r34 on road in two weeks its in compliance work shop atm.

Prestige is more expensive i beleive cause you should really be able to get one as allbitz says for aound the 26-27 mark under 100k in good condition grade 4 or 3.5 with interior B with no damage but the colour will prolly have to be a grey or white ordinary colours. If you really want to save money get a semi automatic one instead of manual or go for 4 door GT-T that still has the RB25DET engine.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
