Any importers or knowledgeable people out there know the average, or just a rough idea of the, price premium a V-spec II has over a basic GTR (34 GTR) when importing, assuming all things equal, say grade 4 stocker and just for shits and giggles perhaps Nur price diff aswell ?

or is it too varied to bother putting a number down ?

Price to import vspec II will most likely yield over 65-80k landed and complied. All depends on condition. In regards to the nur, mine was almost 90k landed and complied 4.5 grade (only cause of the k's). Now I'm not sure if colour has to do with anything fetching higher price but I find that pirvate sales here will be cheaper than importing (the yen is tough) but I reckon importing is for finding a top quality car if you do the research.

I'm sure the import guru's here can give you the best advice. This is just from my experience.

thanks mate. Yeh the reason I'm asking is looking around at private sales a V-spec II is only around the 55-60k mark (obviously there are some more expensive ones out there too) and a plain GTR is around 45-55k so not a HUGE difference, but I was under impression importing a V-spec II would be around the 70k mark so just wanted to clarify :)

thanks again

perfect advice. with the way things are right now with the aud and with the current car market and the japanese market you would only really import a GTR to be able to chose from the largest pool of cars and have a chance at finding a really special or rare car or just one in fantastic condition. but if you want a average condition R34 GTR at a bargain price then you should probably be shopping locally and haggle with local sellers. It holds even more so for R32 and R33 GTRs but still applies to R34s in my eyes.

cheers baron, tbh I would rather a VERY clean stocker than a cheap already modified car. But will look around a bit more and see what the potential difference is.

I want something as close to stock as possible, dont mind intake/exhaust and rims and stuff, but nothing thats really modified, built engine, big turbos or anything like that

Also I'm specifically after a white V-spec II, so I figured importing would have a larger pool to fish from

I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
