Cost Of R34 Sedan,

[Eps]

why the hell would I buy a Lexus? 270,000km owned by Qoc Nguoc Phan Tran who services it at a backyard Gull servo mechanic

Signature worthy. Epic!

I think the electronic shifting is awesome, I just want a manual so I can drop the clutch and have a finer control over gears.

Also, I think majority of Skylines in Australia that are sold on are thrashed and f**ked, or just not worth the asking price. Why when you can buy something in much better condition in Japan, import it and comply it and still have less KMs and pay less.

[Mr Eps]

Andrew - am saving up to import again, I have not purchased the car yet obviously, but yes... In about a year or so time I will have a crown majesta..

And haha, eps... Why do you have that name that's gonna get so confusing haha

But it's true though. The only people that buy Lexus are Chinese or rich Vietnamese. And Jewish people,

And they seem to REALLY drive them. A LOT.

That's not racism. It's just fact. Oh and Indonesians love the third gen GS and the RX too. Haha

^^^ this. . . i have a auction sheet (with pics) in front of me and i doubt that i will be buying a sedan in aus, not when there are cheap /low K examples waiting to be snapped up in japan

Most Japanese cars are in good condition and well worth the little extra wait

Geez, this thread makes me lol.

[dirtyRS4]

thread does not deliver.

afaik GT4 and turbo manuals are worth a considerable amount moar.

Definatly worth the wait , ive been in contact with Kristian from IRON CHEF , so far so good, he has sent me some more auction sheets and there are PLENTY of good condition sedan worth waiting for, nearly all autos ( but i dont mind that as i believe the fluid filled auto trans would help dampen engine harmonics) and only a few manuals, most grade 3.5 and up

[Mr Eps]

:-O oh no not Kristian from IRON CHEF!!!!!

Everybody KNOWS he stole Christmas!!!!

Eps, stop confusing the poor boy.

Kristian is cool

[Mr Eps]

Kristian is the god.

Kristian is to importing cars, what it's a knockout was for 1990s TV

But he did steal Christmas one time.

[dirtyRS4]

2 x eps but there is only one rowan

protip* your life is meaningless.

Put it this way, in the import market... A 10 grand total budget will likely yield you quite a good black coloured ER34 with a lot of fruit on board like wheels etc....

And more than likely depending on the exchange rate at the time, will PRObably get you change back from the transaction ...

But either way... Importing an ER34 into WA is feasible because the market here is so inflated for them... So it actually makes sense. Personally I'd get a Toyota because I think they're built much better..

My other piece of advice? Stay away from WA compliance shops. I hear good things about a particular shop that's on here that DOES lurk these forums and that shop IS good however stay the hell away from that yellow shop with the kangaroo in overalls on the logo.

That guy is a prick. A grey haired... Greedy .. Lieing... Prick.

which is the good shop you speak of?

[Mr Eps]

The name escapes me but I think it's autoworx.

Never had dealings with with personally however

GT -> Basic 2L

GT25 -> Same as GT, but with 2.5L engine.

GT-Four -> Same as GT25, but with AWD

GT-x -> Same as a GT25. Equivalent to a premium model equipment wise, ie. factory privacy glass, double din "premium sound", xenon headlights, front strut brace, optional LSD, optional GTt wheels.

GTt -> turbo model of a GT25, with big brakes, HICAS, LSD

GTt-x -> turbo model of a GT-x, with big brakes, HICAS, LSD

GTv -> Same as GT25, but with big brakes, HICAS, LSD

Thanks Mark, thats the sort of info im after these sedans are just as well equiped as the coupes . .just with two extra doors

Prices seem very unpredictable of late. We've watched cars go for a lot more than they should. Last week I was bidding on a 3.5C, auto 4 door GT-V 50,000km that went for Y650,000 - so about 15.5k AUS landed and complied.

The week prior a 4.5B, TV2 4 door manual GT-T 65,000km went for Y1.9Million. That is silly money. That is 34 GTR Non-Vspec type of coin.

It is hard to pick a great condition cheap car at the auctions currently. I have found cars locally to be very well presented, with low km's and very cheap. I'm considering looking locally for my 34 4door instead of at the auctions for this very reason. Why pay 16k L&C when I can pick a comparable car up loacally for 4-5k less?

Ive found the opposite so far, ive gone thru 200 pages of cars for sale on SAU (some with mods) and a lot of auction sheets and after comparison i reckon i will come out on top by importing a skyline
