[hotchoc]

Hi all,

Am new to SAU and kinda need advise from you guys

What do all you think for this :

http://www.drive.com.au/used-cars/NISSAN/S...p;SG=-898480144

Questions

~~~~~~

1. Is Fuji MotorSport reliable as in trustworthy and not being dodgy -i.e. hidden dents, rust, marketing talk, etc if you know what i mean

2. Am currently located in Perth. What's the best method/company/procedures to ship the vehicle over?

3. Is the r34 a series 2 ? (am assuming this given that there are no red markings on the neo engine however the gauges in the interior kinda looks like a series 1 ). Are there any other ways to distinguish a series 1 from series 2?

4. Would it be recommended to acquire the said vehicle via a dealer or a private seller ?

Many thks in advance

check out http://www.www.imports101.com.au

they are a local company that imports and complies skylines and usually have a good selection of cars in japan to choose from or you tell them exactly what you are looking for and they will do their best to find it

i would hazzard a guess at the speedo being wound back so that speedo reading wont be truly accurate

Welcome to SAU.

The 34 there "looks" ok but its in sydney? By the time you get it here to perth (i use Wridgeways coz my wife works there ) register it etc etc i cant help but think maybe you can pick up a better deal locally from one of the perth import dealers. Not going to list them all, but Imports101 are very good, even check out Autoworx. Thats 2 that i have personally dealt with on different things and recommend them both highly.

Good luck with your purchase dude.

Cheers

Brad

How's imports101 service btw?

If the broker in Japan were to supply a bs car to the local broker over here (i.e. rust, peelign paint, not as advertsied), is there anyway i can reject the vehicle or is there a must for me to accept it regardless of the condition ?

[Onthehunt]

when importing you rely on the broker to find you a car in good nick. Imports101 and Autoworx for example have good reputations for finding cars in good condition, specs etc. i bought my car from autoworx and couldnt be happier overall and mate got his 32 from imports101 and was happy as far as i know so you can be reasonably safe with these two if you go with them

Thks for the head ups

ANythign else i should know. Been going thru majority of the posts and yes i do use the SEARCH button

[ossie_21]

My car was imported, complied & built through Imports101, a good team they have there

[Tofu]

best bet, give imports101 or autoworx a call and explain your concerns. They will answer them all for you with no problems.

[hotchoc]

might head down there to have a look one day

thks for the replies guys

Btw guys, am tryign to learn more about the R34. Any ideas where i should start from ? i.e. the mechanism ?

[NO_RSPECT]

are you particularly chasing a sedan?

i gots a coupe coming up for sale. soonish

Learning about them means a coupla things.

This forum is going to be godsend.. It can also be a hindrance if you let all the opinionated L platers have a say.

Easiest way is to think about the questions you may have..

So performance pathway... search forums for R34+power or r34+performance etc.

Wanna know about interiors search for that.. see if there are any issues. check out the interior group buy for leather interior. you will have to sift through pages.. but you will read about what bits break etc.

Or check the audio section..lots of people scratching interior panels etc, or removing things incorrectly and breaking them.

Its just gonna take alot of time, but the info is all there.

a few guys along the way in other parts of the country have done ALOT of the trial and error stuff on the 34's

good luck
