yeah but the price of r33 gtst is going so low that when i want to sell my car again i will get back less for it

i can probably get more for the r34GT than for the R33GTST. thats one of the reason i want to get teh R34GT coz its the same price as the R33GTST from another state and the R34GT can sell for more when i am ready to buy the R34GTT

You really are probably better off just saving up instead of switching and switching again, as cars will always lose money, not to mention the transfer costs and insurance set ups... the good thing about a car that isn't worth as much is that it can't drop much in value.

Good luck whichever you chose!

yeah still deciding what to do...

btw, can someone help me out with the VIN. i asked the seller for the VIN details and ENGINE number.

i did a RAWS search(whatever it means) lol and it came up with the following compliance details.

can anyone explain to me what it means? or if there is any important information?

here is the link to the page -

Cheers.

my opinion, far too much of a head fu# buying from eastern states. sure u might save urself 2-3k originally then u can throw on the costs of getting it here, registering (may take more than once), new emission test which can (as ppl say) cost round $2000, all the phone calls, guy might strip parts before transport, u've never driven the car, might be a dud etc etc, just not worth it.

then again, up to you.

^^

It was just complianced recently, its stock, so rego wont be hard.

Its naturally aspirated, so it doenst need to do an emmisions test under any condition.

Transport is 1000-1500 region at the most.

The guy is either going to sell the car, or half a car, he can't sell it, take half the parts, then send it, well, he could, but he wouldnt.

i brought my car from nsw. From a dealer thou so it made things alot easier and safer. I did fly over to inspect myself and also had a independant 210 point mechanical check. Transport was $1200. I'm sure you can get a good one locally and save time money ahd hassle. Mine is a vspec II so not many around in wa and for the price i paid had no choice but to fly over. But as mentioned before if you really must then get the inspection booked first pay then drive to depo.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
