R34 Gt T

[jayr34]

Hey everyone,

Just put a deposit on a auto 98 r34 gt t but have some questions about the car. First off ive never owned a skyline so my knowledge is very limited. Anwyays the car im going to purchase has just been imported to Australia and is going to get complianced sometime next week. I was told that its no longer a plate and is now a sticker. Is this true?

Also being a fresh import is there anything i need to look out for? (i would be the first registered owner) Im a little concerned because im getting the car for very cheap. So something must be up unless his being honest and he needs the money desperately to get his other cars into oz.

A friend of mine said to call nissan and give them the vin number or model number cause some people are bolting on turbos to non turbos and selling them as turbos.

And finally if anyone has anything at all, even something simple they could share with me on what to look for on a R34 i would really appericiate it.

Thanks

Dunno about the sticker....it should be a plate still, stickers can be lost pretty easily.

Imports are cheap, but the importing costs like customs, rego, compliance, etc all add up.

You can enter the VIN or model number into software called Nissan FAST to see what setup it had at the factory, or ring Nissan with the engine number and see if it was a factory turbo. There's no harm in bolting on turbo's as long as no corner's are cut - its a pretty common conversion in almost any import.

where can i get this "nissan fast"? well his selling it to me for 11400... it has 61,400 kms, a few scratches here and there. Also its an automatic

Nissan FAST is all over the web for download via Torrents.

Its a massive download, there is a thread somewhere on this forum called "VINs you want "fasted" ", search for that, OR send me the numbers and I'll try and get around to checking it.

Yep they are a pink 'sticker' now, not a Green plate (old system)
