Kaneda Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 (edited) Hey guys, Just wanted to introduce myself and post a few questions about the R34 GTT and importing one, well heres the story i recently went down to carizma and took a R34 GTT for a spin and was impressed smooth, boost came on gradually and if given a little squirt wanted to leap forward...awesome Then i went away and while working started reading the various articles on the forum concerning the R34...now here are some questions i hope havent been covered 1. I heard good things on the forums about Jspec imports,Imports 101 and My Trading, are there any other reputable import businesses in Melbourne? 2. Do any you guys use the R34 as a every day car and how have you found it? 3.In the R34 GTT did it come in Bayside blue or were these just stolen resprays? 4. What are the negatives about owning a R34? 5. Is there a way to tell if the vehicle has been boosted? 6. And finally i was told that Log Books generally dont come with the car? are they stolen or kept by the auction houses in Japan? 7. Sorry one last question is importing a R34GTT and getting it complianced ect, is it the same cost as a showroom R34 would sell for here fully complied? Thanx guys Edited June 19, 2006 by Kaneda Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/122704-r34-newbie-introduction-and-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abo Bob Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 2. yes it is just like any other car. 3. yes but not common. 4. you may get addicted to modding. 5. only if they put it back to standard in a dodgy way. 7. dunno, lots of different prices. If I had my time again I would buy one that is already partially modified.

PAV34 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 1 - SSV in Oakleigh, give them go, they look after you before and after the sale 2 - i use it as an everyday car and its excellent 3 - later model 34 GTT's came in bayside blue, if you find one in good condition, i'd grab it straight away. 4 - negative attention (stereotyped) 5 - see above 6 - not sure about that...but i ended up with one 7 - my advice, buy it completely standard.

someonestolecc Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Hey 'lowestcostR34compliance', if that is your real name, if you want to promote your business then sign up as a sponsor and support the club that supports your business. As for compliance there are plenty on here in this section that can give their advice where they have been as customers, not as people promoting their own businesses. Technically they have to bin the xenons I believe, in which case no, you don't. I'd actually try to have them removed in Japan if it was possible and replaced with a halogen pair there. Otherwise speak to a compliancer before you take it there and see what you can do - just don't pay for them as some people try to charge you when they're yours!

We have been trying, as others (see another forum on this site) for months now. One other business took 18 months according to them. We will just have to wait. We have been told to do it this way until the other happens. If you don't own an R34 or are buying one, or own this site, it doesn't matter to you anyway.

Mr Funkymonkey, We have been trying to advertise on here for months, literally. As have others I have been told by more than one moderator. Yes, we have been told to do it this way, by one of the moderators of this Importing forum. Yes, we have that in writing from him, and its still in our messages box from him. If you can get us a banner ad or two, please do.

funkymonkey Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I don't take care of site sponsorship or payment, so I can't help you with that. You can email neil@skylinesaustralia.com and christian@skylinesaustralia.com to try and expediate the matter. As for whoever's adviced you to advertise or solicit your business in any section till then, I'm afraid that was bad advice. Please refrain from doing so until your sponsorship status has been approved. Feel free to forward any PM you have relating to the matter.
