Defi make them, not sure how you'd go fitting it to a Skyline though... http://www.defi-shop.com/product/vsd/vsd_top.htm

Strange...I can see it in MS Explorer, but in Opera (another web browser) I can't see that page. I suspect that there's a html error on that page that Explorer just lets through... Cool site anyway :-) I'll be sure to check it out again once I've got my GTS-4

Nice, but the Car Art page doesn't show :-(

Nice....I've only got $16k though, would you take that! Hmm, no I guess not ;-)

Exactly :-) One already sold from Geoff's site was estimated around $14k not including tyres & on road costs http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/au/st...asp?StockID=520 This is exactly want too, pity it was sold before I found out about his site :-(

Well performance vehicle is a bit of a subjective term, I'd consider 2498cc, 4WD & 4WS to be a performance vehicle against my '85 Corona! Anyway the real reason is price, sure I can get a GTS-4 with an aftermarket turbo in Australia for a couple thousand more than what the total import costs would be for a stock R33 GTS-4...but every one I've looked at in Australia has very high kms and has been treated like a poor man's GTR and thrashed accordingly. So basically I want a 4WD sports car that's in good condition, that has the potential to accomodate a turbo or a GTR engine in a few years in the future. Right now I'm happy to pay cheaper insurance for a decent, reliable, and a little grunty skyline that looks good and is an enjoyable drive.

Yes they can... http://rvcs-prodweb.dot.gov.au/042-00.htm

This is my first post so here goes… I’m currently in the very early stages of importing an stock standard R33 GTS-4 from Japan (yes, I know the R33 version is N/A!), probably going to go through Prestige Motors as most of the comments I’ve read in this site and others recommend them. But I’ll get the Warranty from CarGear just for my peace of mind too :-) Now my question is; is there any advice that people who have gone through this process, or people that own R33 GTS-4’s can give me? * SEVS, yep I know the rules about stock standard imports, but does anyone have any more information as the government site is a bit confusing * Known mechanical issues * Things I should first do when the car is ready (like take it to someone more thorough than RACV who can give it a clean bill of health – I live in Melbourne near the CBD so any recommendations for mechanics would be greatly appreciated) * Tires – know any decent & good value types of tires that perform great in all conditions (ie. dry, wet, snow, dirt roads, etc.) * Alarm – recommended alarms * Anything else you can think of!
