That is a great price overall though. I tried pricing gtt to gtr look a like kits adn they are outrageous. Bomex is the best looking of the more reasonable kits. Should look bad ass once its on there. Look forward to seeing the pics.

I have to agree. The east bear kit does look great on the car but does seem a little costly. Do you have that on your car? How much did it cost with painting and install (if you dont mind my asking)? either way it is still a hell of a lot cheaper than R34 GTR. I love the look and power of GTR (who doesn't) but I would gladly just take the look on a modified GTT. Thanks. How did owning the R34 GTT vs GTR feel? What did you do to the GTT?

I am really looking to go with an R34 but out of curiosity, if you dont mind me asking, how much is it going for? Definitely, how often do you guys meet? I saw imports101 has a Bayside Blue GTR for sale for $54k... One can dream for now. Would much rather get the GTR than the GTT (no offense), I just have always loved the GTR version. I can pay cash for the GTT but would have to finance the GTR, which I am assuming you cant do if Auss is anything like the US. In the US, it is almost impossible to finance anything 7 years old, or older. $54k is a lot to drop on a car cash, if you ask me... but thats just me.

Tons of great info Voncina. I think you hit the nail on the head with the import vs already in the country. I have been trolling the internet for a local one but they all are too heavily modified for my taste. I could save money buying in the country but I really would rather not. When I spoke to Danny he told me I can get a late model R34 GTT in Bayside blue with less than 50k kms, manual, for a little over $20k. The only downside with that combo, like you stated, is the color. He said it would take roughly three months from start to finish. I think the things you mentioned to look for are great advice, things people normally would not think of. I have been to Perth. My wife's family moved there several years ago from the US and we came to visit last Feb. We loved it and are now moving there. It took a long time and a lot of money to get approved to move there so yeah you are right about the GTR, its just not in the cards at the moment. I would like to come check out your car as well when I get there, I appreciate the offer. Currently, I am an operations Manager here for the nations largest health insurance company, supporting the physicians and hospitals that see our members. Not sure what I am going to do there but I am looking forward to the opportunity for a new start and change in environment.

Yeah, that has always been my MO. Never understood why people like to heckle or aggitate cops. They usually are just trying to do their job but can make your life very difficult if you make their job difficult. I have gotten out of several tickets by being polite. I am looking forward to the move (US to Australia). I am moving in June and have been in touch with Danny at Imports101. I am looking to import a manual R34 GTT in Bayside Blue. First the job, then the car, but got enough to get the ball rolling once I arrive. Any tips on what to look for when importing? Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks Voncina. I am going to try the invisible mod approach. Saw some great ideas on here about the nisstune, FMIC installations, etc that would go unnoticed or unseen by most cops. I will definitely use the advice on being polite and not driving like an idiot and hope that all helps. Really do want a BOV and aftermarket intake but have read a lot about people getting yellow stickered for that. Still undecided about that. What is the cost if you get yellow stickered in WA? Is it worth the risk?

Beautiful

Thanks for all the help. Glad to know I don't have to keep it stock or worry about running from the law with a modded car. I wasn't thinking body kit for a while so I will climb that mountain when I get there. Looking forward to getting to importing my bayside blue. Thanks all!

Great information. I appreciate the help. Any links or info you can provide on engineering? I think at this point I am just looking to start with wheels, BOV, coilovers, exhaust, tune, boost controller, intake, and sound system. If you have any advice on those that would be great (in terms of staying out of trouble with the police). Thanks for the help.

Hey everyone. Over the past few months I have spent countless hours viewing this forum and decided to join. I am moving to Western Australia from the United States and wanted to get some clarification and advice. I saw the sticky here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/295752-information-about-vehicle-regulations-licensing-and-the-road-traffic-laws/ and read through it all but am a little concerned after the reading. I am going to be purchasing an R34 GTT (one of my favorite cars, not really legal in the U.S.) and it seems like modification work, in almost any way, shape, or form is illegal and can cause your vehicle to fail Rego. I am not looking to build a race car but want to know what my options are in terms of modifications. I see cars for sale with mods and have to ask, what is feasible and what is not? Exhaust, BOV, upgraded turbo, ECU, Boost controller, Brakes, Sound system, etc. Sorry if this has been covered but I did my best to read through everything on here and the web before posting. Thanks everyone.
