If it was available under SEVS, low-mid $40Ks I suspect...which looks to be around the same money the local ones are worth?? Hmmm maybe not such a wise move to pursue it...

Of course if people want to chip in to help the cause, you'll get $670 back if I win

Lack of sales post tsunami = not being able to spend $770 on something which won't directly make me any money...

I've seen Supras with the TRD kits on them, very few with the complete kit though, and when they pop up they make megadollars. More common to see people just buy the TRD rear wing.

Just updating the site now Form should be working.

After skipping the lovely Sydney winter months, soggy grass, date clashes and struggling to find available dates, it seems the planets have all aligned, and ALL JAPAN DAY SYDNEY IS ALL SYSTEMS GO ONCE AGAIN! When: Sunday November 13, 10:00am-3:00pm Where: Silverwater Park, Silverwater (just near the bridge) How did it all start? All Japan Day was born in Adelaide in 2008 as a result of a crisis developing in the import motor enthusiast community. Local car shows involving Japanese imports were losing focus of what the enthusiasts wanted at a car show - a opportunity to admire and talk about the sensational vehicles on display with out being distracted by gimmicks or high entry prices. The AJD committee comprises a core group of five car nuts, and events are run on a not-for-profit basis, with all money raised (once expenses are taken out) going to charity. For Sydney, it’s just $15 to enter your car, and spectators are allowed free entry (although we will ask for a gold coin donation at some point during the day for the charity we choose). Which cars are eligible to enter? It should first be noted that the AJD committee votes on every car that enters – your application is reviewed and then either accepted or rejected. Don’t let this discourage you from entering! Just make sure you have good pics of your car ready so we can see if we can work with it. We’re looking for: Pre-1985 classics – AJD Adelaide has quickly established a reputation for being the premier show for classic Japanese cars, and we’re really pushing to see what Sydney has to offer. Even if it’s a barn find, partly restored or in poor condition, we love our classics and would love to have you come along. Clean original cars – when was the last time you saw a mint original S13 Silvia? Exactly! Last year we had a clean original Datsun 200B with period accessories that looked fantastic. Modified cars – anything from mild mods right through to Time Attack-spec track cars. Grey imports or even Japanese cars sold here new by the manufacturer. Aussie-built Japanese cars such as R31 Skylines are decided on a case-by-case basis. Weird and wonderful – if you have something Japanese and quirky that makes the committee laugh and think you’re insane, then throw it in! Last year we had someone bring along a nice Toyota Coaster bus, it was hilarious! What we’re NOT looking for: Sex-spec cars – AJD is for cars that are more likely to feature in Zoom than Hot 4s. If your stereo has a higher output than your engine, then you’re probably in trouble. Lambo doors are out, dinner platter wheels are out, neons and white leather trim are borderline too, depending on the application. We have a ‘thing’ for cars that have a WOW factor for their engineering, not for how they look. Our theory is that we want to cater for the kinds of cars that other shows like Auto Salon wouldn’t normally accept. Advertising - no banners will be allowed, aside from the AJD one that stands out the front of the show. Flyers will be allowed under windscreens (with prior permission from the AJD committee), and cars may have stickers advertising businesses or products, but no other forms of advertising are permitted. Contact us about it if you're not sure whether you meet our rules or not. Chains or fencing (or anything else that prevents spectators from getting close to your vehicle) - if you want to keep your bonnet closed that's fine, but if you're that precious about your paintwork, you will need to decide if displaying your vehicle is worth the risk. If the owner of a $750K Toyota 2000GT can display his car without roping it off, then you can too! Segregation - no club displays will be allowed, and while we will be reasonable about keeping people together if they all arrive together, don’t get the sooks on if you end up getting parked away from your mates - the aim of the day is to meet new people and respect what they've done with their cars, not hide away in a corner with your mates. How to enter: Everything is done online via our website http://www.alljapanday.com.au Make sure you have your credit card or PayPal details on hand, and a DECENT photo of your car on file before you begin applying. You will receive an email to confirm your application has been received if you’ve done it correctly. Later on you will get an acceptance email if your car has made the grade. Entries are now open, so get cracking! IF YOU ENTERED BACK IN MAY THEN YOUR ENTRY IS ALREADY ACCEPTED AND WE WILL SEND OUT YOUR ENTRANT PACK AGAIN. IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT TO THIS EVENT, THEN LET US KNOW AND WE CAN REFUND YOUR ENTRANT FEE.

Looked into these a while back - compliance is hideously expensive, prohibitively so.

Rarer in that they were never actually sold as a model by TRD. TRD made a range of Supra parts, some Supras had that full catalogue fitted, but they weren't officially 3000GTs, just Supras with lots of TRD parts on them.

...and if you're asking the question in a Skyline forum, you already know the answer

I've got an averagey one sitting at a workshop in Bayswater if you want to poke your head inside it and see what it's like.

Mate I look at Evos for a living every day, and I can tell you now, if that hasn't been sprayed over at some stage before (which it doesn't look like from the pics), that's one of the tidiest you'll ever see. I've seen far far worse on an Evo.

It's the attitude that people think they're somehow entitled to use other people's stuff without permission just because they have access to it that stinks.

Fancy not noticing lol

This man speaketh the truth. Spend the equivalent money on a Porsche and you'd probably end up with a much better investment (if not a better car )

Don't get Mr Eps started - if you thought the last post was bad.... No worries mate, I'll keep an eye out for it.

They do have an email address too, they just don't make it well known for fear they'll get bombarded. PM me if you want to email them and I'll send it over.

^^^ Perfect example of classics that are now being sent back to Japan in significant nuumbers...

The problem (unless you already own a BNR34) is that because there was a 10 year gap between them and the R35, they represented the top of the GT-R tree for a very long time. Given their age now, they now fall under the category of collectible in Japan, with V-Spec Nurs, M-Spec Nurs and even low-km M-Specs and V-Spec IIs fetching more than R35s do. I doubt they're going to get any cheaper in Japan, so they're probably not going to get any cheaper here either. If they do get cheaper, people will start sending them back to Japan.

It's one thing to buy an exotic, another to live with it

Shoot me an email mate (see my sig) and we'll get you some prices. The wood won't be a problem. To answer your last question, probably not

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.

Where does it say it's an official testing vid? No way in hell Nissan would release that as their official footage, it looks like it handles like a bath full of water. My guess on the camera car is Nismo 400R...
