I don't really know what the import car cruising scene is like around Mackay as it has been like 3yrs since I have owned a decant street car. I seem to be working on everyone else's car besides my own + I'd rather sit in the shed and enjoy a few coldies with my mates then being out on a Thursday night getting hassled by the cops.

There was a mint blue r34 gtr for sale on a page I like on fb .... Had mods and all I will see if I can find it

Cool, thanks. Seeing way to many bad examples already in Australia, dodgy dealers buying Grade R cars and getting them illegally complied, wound back etc.

I have been looking directly in Japan.

Saw a car go for $60k landed and complied, and then show up on carsales 2 months later for $100k.

f**ken rip off assholes.

Yeah I'm importing my next GTR as well, when the old man imported the R32 N1 GTR years ago it was immaculate, my R34 GTT that I imported was like brand new and Richard JZA80 Supra was imported like brand new and still is the cleanest I ever seen. My R33 GTR I purchased from the Gold coast and wasn't in the best shape but it was my trasher, it had a hard life.

Roads in Japan are perfection not like our f**ked roads over here so the are in much better condition plus there country is tiny and they don't rack up as many km's. Import all the way.

Lol the fact it's got a single is one of the reasons I like it haha each to there own however .... Not sure of ks but with mods like that I'm not sure it really a issue, thats in my opinion of course best contact owner and ask the questions and ask if he has original auction report and import certificate !

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
