Its not that they are hard to find its a mater of finding 1 that is a genuine grade 4 vehicle. grade 4 cars arent what they used to be and grade 4.5 are extremely rare in a car 10yrs old.

also be a little more specific to what your looking for IE 2 or 4 door auto or manual.

regards, Phil

furthermore to what phil said - forget grading system. it means jack sh1t these days esp in old cars.

your criteria isn't THAT hard to find... but trying to find one with less than 80K could make things difficult... esp if you plan to buy in 2011...

you'll still love the car the same amount if it's a bit higher - trust me :)

Exactly what they said. Don't be so concerned about the km's, the condition of the car is far more important.

A lot of 80,000km cars will have been wound back, especially on a car of that age.

Sorry more detail:

2 door, 5 speed manual.

so i how realistic is it to get even a 1998 34 series 1 in good condition imported if rating scales are pretty useless now? i'm planning to use Jspec Imports.

how far up for kms would u say is reasonable as I want to keep it for a while?

RE KLM

Nissan RB series engine would have to be 1 of the most trusted and reliable engines from any manufacturer dont be scared of klm with these just be concerned about condition and if possible service history which is difficult in Japanese market. but your buyer should know where to look for good maintenance as so do good mechanics(if not ask yourself why your using them).

    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day. 
    • It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?
    • Ah ok, yeah it should be flat, I believe the r34 battery tray has these 3 bumps in them they makes it line up and everything is flat, don't see how it would tilt if everything is secured.
    • Agreed it actively wants to kill you which I love driving fast cars slow is my stick
    • Awesome! I was thinking S14 since they are longer. I'll give those a shot. Thanks for the input!
