I bought my R33 GTR from AJM recently,

I think I got a good deal however I did have to threaten to sue them when they wanted to cancel before i picked the car up. ( probably because they had a better offer )

When i picked the car up the $400 per tire yoka's on the back were bald.

Gee I wonder how that happened .........

Also the gearbox had automatic transmission fluid in it to mask some kind of problem but it seems ok now.

Loving the car now tho

man, your dad is a mechanic, dont forget this, you can take him with you, and he can throughly check over the whole car even organise a day for him to take the car to his workshop and check it out. id go private, just get your car checked very good, and maek sure all parts are in good working order. i know why u want a GTS for and that is understandable for your age, a very sensible option i think. but use the number one thing that u have on your side, a family member that has mechanical knowledge. that is your best way to go, all car will have sum sort of problem some time in there life, its just a matter of time, but if you do this it will minimize the risk of anything bad happening to your car in the future from parts failure. so get crack in and find your ass a new ride! :D

should warn you guys about publicly slandering a buisness, should really keep all bad encounters to either PM or dont name the buisness in question.

I do realise this, and I realise that by saying what I did is dangerous. But seriously, after what they did to us, I don't give a shit anymore. I am more than happy to give people several chances at being decent people. Hell, anyone that knows me can vouch for that! But they just went too far, and I know they did it to people before us, and are still doing it today :P.

Anyway, this thread isn't about them, it's about us giving the names of GOOD dealers in Brisbane... sorry I couldnt be of more help than just Autoshop and SVi :lol:

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
