I am Sorry Peopel ... What I ment by Decent price is around the acceptable range comparing to a same age Ferrari I surpose ...

I am still trying to see what's available out there ... as I have not yet seen any of the Z Tune out for grabs so just asking if anyone saw it?

So ... From the sound of it Iron Chef would be able to source for one under half a Mil ... ^_^

KR4GTR, Thanks for the advise ... like I said I am still in the stage of looking around ... I have waited for years before I can actually say I finally got the Cash sitting in my bank to find the right car since Midnight last night ... Yeah! All my hard work for the past Few years had FINALLY Paid off!

Let us know if you found anything Decent out there ... as I will be buying one to keep forever, I would really like to get a Z Tune there seems to be none around! My second choice is to get one of the V Spec 2 Nur.

I know that Iron Chef (I think Kristian as I was told by my frends) has been busy with all these Import business too is on this Topic, Maybe he can also throwin some suggessions ^_^

I wish everyone on this Topic a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Mate you have to choose how much you want to spend first.

Vspec 2 nur is under a quarter of what a Ztune would cost, you would be able to buy a second hand 360 Fezza and a nur for Ztune money, I would still pic the Z-tune though.

Your choices of cars are a world apart in price and performance.

Had a quick look and I cant see any ztunes which are set to go through auction anytime soon, but as Huy mentioned - there are only a few of them floating around so you'll need to pay the premium.

I did however find these two nurs which are ready to send over, they might interest you. Remember on top of these prices you've still got the regular import / compliance / rego / maintenance costs - etc. :blink:

Hope this helps!

The guy who got me my Nur is in Japan at the moment looking at some cars. He showed me a few Nur's which were still quite pricey. One that stood out was a black Vspec II Nur with just over 5000km on the clock!

lol if someone wants to pay half a mil for a Z-Tune, believe me I will make it happen :blink:

I think the high prices being reached by low km Nurs at auction has raised the eyebrows of a few people, so there have been some mint ones going through lately.

Having said that, the end of the year is always a good time to snaffle some bargains - Andrew give me a buzz if you're in the market now. Maybe if your pockets are deep enough, you could buy a V-Spec II N1, they're rarer than Z-Tunes anyway :down:

Hey KR4-GTR,

Found something from Top-Secret if you fancy, but it's a R33 ... ^_^

http://cars.ebay.com.au/1997-Nissan-Skylin...emZ250446291118

Thanks for the previous 2 websites as I already checked them out ... to be Honest, there is one in Sydney which is also around slightly more then getting those 2 imported and complied as shown below:

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...id=11EFBDFD5780

Kristian, Thanks for the offer ... I believe owning a Z tune is a DREAM of Most Skyline Owners ... (Ps I am also unfortunately one of them)

Therefore I am looking more towards a Nur instead, I saw one in Bayside Blue in Adelaide, Does it belong to you?

As I am currently Looking around for a Bargain, therefore I will be looking getting one possible lower than a Decent price for a Nur ... If you got any that you felt it More than Value for Money, Please let me know as I am happy to wait as I have no rush looking for my Dream, Ps ... The longer it takes, the longer I have time to Save ... Hopefully getting my own Z Tune ^_^ otherwise snap up a Nur at a Bargain price.

If your looking for a bargain, check out the average condition 99 model vspec at e&m motors for only $70k! :ninja:

I was driving past today, curiosity got the better of me and i couldnt help but pop in to see how much more the exterior has deteriorated from taking the aussie weather 24/7.

Its been sitting outside for over a year and they are still not negotiable on the price. But wait theres more! Only 37000k's and log books to prove it (although when i asked to see the books - they couldnt provide, suprise suprise.)

Theres nothing i hate more than pressure, a very unnecessary sense of urgency and car sales men that wont shut the f**k up and leave you alone while browsing!

I went there ages ago pretending to be interested in that car. Those guys wouldnt leave me alone.

LOL ...

That's what Car Salesman does ... to make you wanna buy the car ...

KR4-GTR

I had seen a few bargains here and there but I am looking at getting a Nur for that Price ... or even lower ... ^_^

Although I must say it's a nice colour ... but I still prefer Bayside Blue

By the way I saw a Bayside Blue Vspec 2 Nur with no. plates CC625P from SA.

Anyone know the Owner?

Keep shopping around and im sure you'll find the car which is right for you :)

By the way, incase you didnt already know / just to clarify - that 33 GTR you showed me is from top secret performance in japan - however, they are actually a seperate company to 'top secret imports' - which is an australian based company specialising in bringing cars over from japan. :)

Go to http://www.topsecretimports.com.au for more info or to see their current stock list. If you want a vspec II or a Nur - that would be a special order.

Give Garry a call and he will look after you, his number is on their site.

thats cool.. when im like 40 something, paid off my house and hopefully have a shit load of cash. your the man im gona come to. i think a z tune and an N1 would be sitting pretty nice in my house :D

though, how rare are R32 n1's and R33 n1's?

Our uncle - wife side - owns the last of the Nur Spec II in the green. Over 60 years old, hardly ever drives it and probably looking to sell it soon. If anyone here is seriously interested in an immaculate, low kms one, please let me know. I am sure he is going to change again - before this, he had the original Vspec in bayside blue.

Fantastic thread. Some great reading and advice all in the one place.

I will be heading back to top secret imports to have a second look at a few cars within the next few days. ;)

Not quite as rare as the 34s but still very rare - 228 R32 N1s built and somewhere around 98 R33 N1s built.

How often do you see R32 N1s Kristian? Eventually when i'm in the market for a 32 GT-R, i'll be looking for an N1 (or V-Spec II)

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
