Hey guys, I'm new here so sorry if this is in the wrong section or anything. I'm on my P's and I was wondering whether I should import a Skyline or just buy one locally. I've done a bit of research into importing a used Skyline and it looks pretty complicated; I've looked around locally and most of the decent non-turbo GT's and 25GT's are a little out of my price range. So, would I be saving a bit of money if I imported a non-turbo Skyline 25GT or GT? Basically, what I'm asking is, for my price range, what could I do? What are peoples suggestions? Should I just save up a bit more and buy locally?

Thanks guys.

P.S. Nice forum. =D

kreyzgym; what spec did you get? because if you got a manual coupe thats really good man, if its a sedan or auto then that seems about the going price from all the ones iv seen.

To the OP, it would also help if you indicated what spec your after like sedan or coupe, manual or auto and so on. I reently imported 2001 s2 coupe, manual, GT-V model in black for about 14.5K all up. Reason i decided to import was that i could get a much better spec'd car for the same price as what 1998 model 25gt's were going for in the local market.

Yeah, I definitely got the going price for my car.

But having said that, I bought my car from a dealer, which was bought from a dealer in japan..

And the place I bought mine from had a large range of 34's, all reasonably priced, and most well within the 15k range this guy has.

yeh, i'm after a manual coupe, not a big fan of the sedan skylines but that's just me; good job on that import, did you do it through a vehicle broker who import cars or did you do it yourself through a japanese auction?

also, cheers for the inputs guys

What? You mean 33 be cheaper than 34?? A little, not by much. Not justfyably much.. Btter off getting 34...

nah, i mean would it be cheaper to import an R34 GT as opposed to an R34 25GT? i guess the price would depend on which year it was made in and what grade it was, and the mileage etc. what are the prices for the R34 GT like, landed and complied?

i mean, it's only my first car and i would rather much prefer the R34 25GT, but that being said i wouldn't mind an R34 GT either, even though it uses the 2.0L engine. i have $10k at the moment and that definitely isn't enough for an R34 25GT (especially since i want a nice, clean, stock, low km skyline), landed and complied but what about the R34 GT? (it's probably unlikely to find it for $10k landed and complied, but i just thought i'd ask)

but keep in mind, i'm still saving and adding to that $10k; i was just curious about the price of the R34 GT landed and complied.

thanks for the inputs guys. :ermm:

Even if you could you wouldn't want one. Keep saving. Plenty of nice examples of 25GT's already here, and plenty of nice examples available to import. But your budget isn't high enough as others have already stated.

      R34 "maintenance reminder lights" and mysterious voice

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      who can tell me what this is and why my car talks to me? i think it's hilarious. it's on my r34 right above the drivers-side storage compartment. the characters under the wrench say "inspection". every 10 or 20 startups, a voice starts talking in japanese from some speaker in this area below the dashboard. it says a few sentences then shuts off. different from the ETC card reader voice that happens every time i start the car. I've never found the speaker, i've never been able to catch the voice and translate what it says, and i've never found a forum thread that tells me how to reset the warnings. the holes in between the symbols are NOT buttons you can press to reset the warnings. anyone else have this? has the demon lord from Hereditary infected my car?!

      Would you ever vent this bonnet or will it be unnecessary?

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I tried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4   I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. With the first couple I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the outer casings. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I over cut one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
