Maybe don't beleive everything you heard from the car salesman, as far as I know R34 are still getting auctioned, please correct me if i am wrong.

Many people on this website have subscribed to a Japanese Importer called Geoff Risbey he is located in Perth but has Japanese contact, he is a auto importer for people such as us. About every 2 mornings we get a listing of cars that have come up for auction and if you are interested you pay a small fee and bid for it. I have not read to date anything about the stoppage on R34's

The only changes i have seen of late is that heavily modified cars can't come in only ones with VERY light or no mods are allowed into the country, if you do like a modified looking car and want to buy it well then you have to get a certificate to say that all the mods were destroyed before importation into Aus!

Why is the R34 too dangerous as you mentioned????

Still all in all $38,000 for a R34 well mate i would be happy paying that, how many kms on it? auto or manual? good proce though if you ask me :-)

Oh and welcome to the family!

25GTT, I think he ment too dangerous as far as getting one in under the old rules, if it's not done by the cut-off date then it gets scrapped.

I'm sure the R34's will be eligible under the new RAWS as the main requirement they have to meet is power to weight:D

See'ya:burnout:

38k is reasonable price for an R34.

Got 42 for mine but it had 15k worth of gear on it.

Joe Crisfario had a black one they would have accepted $34k for.

If you haven't signed already screw them as hard as possible as the R34's are harder to sell due to most finance company's wanting a much larger deposit plus the cost of insuring them is high.

Cheers

Yeah, I know but I've search around Perth for R34 they cost like $39000 plus, there is one cost $47000

Mine is black with 28k km manual no mods at all, They really try to ripped me off, So i ask for cd stackers and best alarm system also 3 years warranty , w/o stamp duty -_-,

Btw now I'm scared about insurance. Is it true it might cost u around 3k for 20 years old guy?

Check this before you buy the car.

It's simple, if you can't afford the insurance, you can't afford the car.

Doing a search will bring you up some good results but you could try the following :-

Famous Classic Car Insurance (Looking around two - three grand p/a)

HBF (No idea on price, but you need previous business with them I think)

Shannons (These guys may do it as they are a prestige centre)

I also think SGIO are getting back into it but I can't confirm that..

Hope that helps

*Smack* please don't tell me the dealer tried to sell you some special paint protection thing for extra $$$$?? All you really need is a BUff Cut and Polish about once every say 6 months and then a polish once a month that will work fine, that is all i do to mine and the paint is in A1 perfect condition, still with showroom glaze to it!

SHUTO Boy: I saw that R34 as well wanted about 45k for it! was very nice though and well looked after with nice kit and mags! it has since been sold don't mind white but would have looked nice in black or red me thinks, i am a bit past the yellow stage and aren't a big fan of yellow but one of the guys here called Franks in the eastern states has one of the nicest looking R34's i have seen in my life! and it is yellow....

eriktufa: dude, i still don't know why you keep saying that it is hard to import R34, i still have not read anything about R34's being let into aus, the only restrictions that i have seen under the new imports scheme so far is basically no mods are allowed to come into Aus and must be scrappped! If someone has seen otherwise please show me where you got the info from as i have no info on r34's not being let it, i think that maybe the salesman said that to you so you would buy it. Price of imports willl be going up and mods will not be allowed that is all i have read so far, Why would they specifically be targetting R34's when 33 GTR have the same power output??

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
