All depends what you are after:

Performance - I like the EVO 8 MR. Bigger turbo for more potential and a bit lighter then 7 as well. Plus the shape of 7 is dull.

Crusing/daily driver - V35.

How about instead of forking out $25k extra for then new car spend like $15k on the R34 and turn it into the perfect mix of performance and luxury. I reckon the R34 is better looking then an EVO or a V35 it just needs some finishing touches.

Also, if V35 is so expensive in WA then get one from QLD (seen al ot of ads for them from QLD). Fly to QLD drive back in the V35 (awesome road trip but dont go alone).

Howdy,

If anyones in the market for a stock V35 Premium in Pearl White 6 speed, I have one for sale @ $45k, QLD rego. and only 32000kms..

If your keen send an email to [email protected]

I am interested but it is now possible to get them landed and complied in Australia for as little as $35k to $37k for a premium 350GT. There was one on sale recently with 3,189km that went for about that price. Its good that the Aussie dollar is so strong. Buyers market.

$35k-$37k landed and complied

add on to that

Tyres - $1k

Alarm - $500

Blueslip - $100

Transport to and from Compliance $100-$200

Rego - $1000

etc etc

These are just a few thing off the top of my head. The price builds quite quickly once the car lands and you need to get it on the road.

Still - $35k for a manual premium landed and complied is great value. When I got mine a few months ago, a manual Premium in "very good" condition was selling for 2.4mil yen and above. Based on my costs to date at 100yen exchange (banks in reality will give you closer to 98/99) you're still looking at over $40k

You can get poor condition ones for less, but do you really want a 2 yr old car in poor condition. Imagine the abuse it's copped to be so bad aftr such a short period of time.

just my 2c (actuall prob 50c) :(

ohh yes go the subaru liberty gt :cool:

my dads got one and i practically drive it more than him :thumbsup:

such a nice car..hes got the 2.5L premium one which is leather wicked sound system

and all other nice things lol

would rather the gt but he said it was not practical for him to own a turbo lol hes so old fashioned haha

yeaa so 2 thumbs up for the liberty for me

hmmm tough choice...id probably stick with the evo 7 (or wrx/liberty gt)......but thats if was to get a car with performance and the practicality of being disguised as a family car so that the wife wouldnt know that i spent my cash on a monster :cool:

I forgot to mention that I was in Victoria so we do not have to pay $1,000 for rego. But we do have to pay for stamp duty. The price I quoted includes tyres and inland/interstate transport. Another $2k and it will be the drive away price. There are some bargains at Auction and sometimes it really depends how dedicated the agent is in located and hounding one for you. It does help if you know the agent. Buying from dealers will probably get you the best cars, but also the most expensive. I was quoted a V35 premium 350GT for about $35k landed and complied with maximum 40,000km with a minimum auction grade of 4.

However, you are absolutely right. Not much point in getting a 2 year old car in poor condition.

Banks in general will sell at 1.5yen below the nornal rate. I was told by my in-laws that the Japanese yen will probably rise in the second half of this year. Not sure how accurate that would be, but my father in-law is working in that line of bussiness that requires this kind of knowledge.

FOB 2.4 million yen or AU$24,490

Landed: AUD$6,600 (Customs, tax sea freight etc0

Compliance: AUD$4,500

Tyres:$1,000

On road cost: $2,000

Total $38,590

So you are right, about $40k on the road based on your FOB. But I was informed that I could get what I am looking for for 2.2million yen, so drop the price by another $2k at least. So it would be possible to get one for $35k to $36k landed and complied and even drive away.

And I agree, the MY07 Liberty GT is a fine car. There are quite offers available at the moment. Seen a few for as low as $53k drive away. Pretty good value IMO.

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated 
    • Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.
    • Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
    • Glad it eventually came out Duncan!   I believe that might be 040. 044 is the inline pump, so has screw fittings in and out. 040 is more just drop it in fuel and the bottom is "open" (mesh) from my memory
