Haha, I know what you mean about eating, sleeping and dreaming about GT-Rs...here is mine, which is currently on its way over here...

I'm shooting myself in the foot here, but if you want one straight away, you'd be hard pressed to get better than Beer Baron's car...

oh baby.... sweet car mate! 34 VII N1. love it! they look so cool in white with a few nice bits. the great thing about the 'special' GTRs is they are usually bought by guys who look after them since they commanded high premiums over the regular models when new. I've found that 4 out of 5 'special' GTRs I come across were in excellent condition (regular 34s maybe 2 in 5 are good). so even though they are so rare, when you finally do find one there is a good chance it'll be in top order.

I really like the sideskirts too. I reckon when you're keen for a change get some of the same nismo sideskirts, but in carbon, and a lower lip in carbon to match. it looks amazing on a white car.

I imported a full carbon wide body for a 34 race car here, that has the similar design sideskirts to the nismo one, but much more exagerated and they are just insane. and look so nice in bare carbon.

these ones (I know, totally impractical for a road car, but wait till you see this one finished!):

If you ever bring the N1 to sydney give me a shout, I'd love to come and check it out. I bet you can't wait to get your hands on it. :down:

I'm also selling my clean Silver 99 R34 GTR that has just landed. I sure didnt buy it at the best time and with current financial situations need to sell it. The big plans won't eventuate... Have to stick with my R32.

Will create a thread in forsale when I take some pics.

So anyone interested in a clean, straight R34 GTR in Aus (currently in Syd, will bring it up to QLD net week) landed and rego'd well under $50k, please pm me.

Cheers

Michael

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the heads up... but the girl of my friends wears a bayside blue dress and has a necklace on her neck that says GTR... so I can only follow my pre-destiny... LOL

But good luck with the sale mate... I'm sure you'll do well.

Good luck.

Regards,

Kevin

yep; wrong time to buy, unless the AUD continues to fall against the Yen!!!. but, a man's gotta have, what a man's gotta have!!!. as an example: when I imported my GTR [R32] the price paid at auction was 2m JY, roughly $20k AUD, with the rate what is was then. to pay 2m JY for a car now will cost roughly $31k AUD. obviously, the import charges remain the same, but it's still a big difference with the Aussie $ starting to resemble the Mexican Peso in buying power offshore.

import charges are not the same , customs taxes are payed in the value of the car in the current exchange rate and shipping is usually in us dollars although with some exchange rate corrections

very difficult to get a cheap GOOD r34 gtr at the moment . even with the seller taking a hit on their already reduced prices , say 2.5m that would be just under 50k to just land it , let alone comply register and transfer into your name lct if applicable repairs tyres panel and paint etc etc etc

and of coarse some economists are predicting the dollar to hit 40c us , I dont even want to contemplate r34 gtrs at that exchange rate!

the mexican peso looks good in compo to the aussie , the aud is the 2nd most devalued currency (worked agaist economic performance , gdp etc) in the developed world just behind iceland

:) you are correct; I was thinking of 'compliance etc' costs to get the car on the road in Aus.

Iceland is bankrupt!.

Kevin I think I found a pic of your other half, although she didn't have the GT-R necklace on...

Absolute gold!!! ;)

Yep... pretty much sums it up... LOL

BTW, I got your email and the attached customer form - will complete it soon.

I can't wait for the Aussie dollar to climb abit... can you start looking for me please.

Cheers.

    • Yeah I'm happy to talk to whoever, I don't want to take ownership or even manage it if they don't want but I can probably help with hosting on the sau setup. It's a great resource and should be protected.
    • So, got some bits..   New oil filter housing gasket (main problem I'm trying to fix -see leak above)  While you're in there's: New belts, pulley and tensioners.  Vanos oil line New oil drain valve New water pump and pulley  New fumoto valve (all my cars have these). Some of this stuff seems ok now that I've pulled it out but I still have no idea how old it all is.  The belts looked fine and then I noticed this. Like somebody has hooked it with a pick. 
    • As the title suggests, Looking for some comfortable replacement seats that will suit/fit an R32 GTR. Purely road use.  Happy to travel to the Tweed, Gold Coast and Brisbane area. Possibly Sunshine Coast for the right seats. Show me what you got! Thanks in advance.
    • Customer states,I got an oil leak.  Customer was raht.
    • Hi friends, I recently got myself back into an R32 GTR with factory seats. The seats themselves are in excellent condition but the drivers seat is a bit tight for my back and become uncomfortable after about 20min of driving. The passenger seat is a little better so I'm not sure what is going on there, almost as if the drivers seat is newer and has not been worn in.  Anyway, I'm looking to replace them with something thats going to be comfortable for road use.  I was looking at these replica seats from Crank Motorsport however there has been a number of reviews of the company that aren't great so i'm a little skeptical.  https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/185466689021?_skw=r32+GTR+front+seats&itmmeta=01JKS72VG115M2Y3KBGCBCWYDD&hash=item2b2ead15fd:g:cMAAAOSwhhZlsIpK&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKl6v17FmqPFPHrHp4kFm2I9VMAXrpZg5R8sUXH6QLUAkliQu34NiG%2F84PJ05lKf2iGboUiWpWbvHYPYKsT154rul3I%2FaGRskpG8VfgyrwC9%2BdRj7uoDAPGJH%2FVprfvd6pgAN2XmUz6buE9YHvOPCKhtJfsQXhEzwgmVTcIwEkkV0A1r%2FkyJYMmQK0OKLI%2FrM%2FQLzeAOkN9B6WLAPrNyFlml%2FkG%2BYzkTXGJ8LN%2B0NCSLfczQGSYeJqPfvMFMgDL2gOD%2BPWb3sX1D1A6PxY5jqyMGey7zin4sDqrUrA7CpqLLpA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMmriLp55l I also live In the Northern Rivers and these seats are in Melbourne so I can't even try them out before purchase.  Is there anywhere/anyone around the Gold Coast, Tweed or Brisbane area that would have a decent selection of seats I could test out before purchase. A lot of these places seem to be in Sydney and Brisbane. Maybe there's an individual who has an after market item such as Bride or Recaro I could quickly try? Thanks in advance!
