roflol. they invented it franks

hey Trent, for US$20,000 you'll get something decent although with shipping and any compliancing you have to do i really can't say how much of that 20k will go towards the car price.

what were you after exactly? a GTR, a GTST, old, newish etc

Im not sure of the way it works where you are. Are you looking at importing one from Japan??

If so get in contact with some local workshop's who are eligable to import and comply a car for you this will give you an idea of the cost's involved with the whole process then you can put together a budget, Then how much you can spend on the actual purchase price of the vehicle becomes more apparent.

a Workshop called MOTOREX import skylines into the states and make them legal..

there website should be : MOTOREx.. but google it before you do anytihng :) .

You would probably be looking at getting a clean Series 2 GTS-t. ( R33 ) with that cost in the states

1996-1997 Skyline R33 Series 2 , they have a differnt bodykit,wheels,turbo and interior is similar but better. that would be your best option since they would have low "miles;)"

i have a friend who is currently importing a R33 GT-R to the states from osaka .. do you have MSN Messenger so i can tell you more into importing cars into the states etc ?

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Think I found another reason to buy the Q50 rather than the skyline import, seems that unless you get the 400r the other models such as the GT miss out on the decent brakes and don't have the flappy paddles on the steering wheel to change gears. Its my day off work today and the Q50 listed @ the dealer in Brisbane that I mentioned in my 1st post looks like it sold as its listed as no longer available... Would have checked it out but can understand why it sold as it was a bargain price.

      There are fixes for this. In industry we use compressed air for everything. It is frequently wet, and many things cannot tolerate it. So there are various forms of driers available that you can install. The simplest option for something like this would be a dessicant drier. Much cheaper to replace some silica gel than actuator cylinders.

      That's a solid update mate, well done at WA FOS. You may already know this, but the actuators on the paddle shift are a service item and are sadly not that reliable. As I understand it they collect water from the compressor (condensation) which then rusts the bores/pistons in the actuators. A mate of mine had no end of trouble with them in one if his circuit cars, apparently it's a 'known issue'. Buy a couple of spares at great expense to ensure you never have any problems with the ones you've got! Any clues about what the new WTAC rules might be? While faster cars are cool the Pro class arms race has got to the point where you wouldn't even bother entering without a $1m budget and even then I don't think you'd win.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      https://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline/er34/3945-rb25det/trans/317/31940N/ The pictures of the part you're talking about is clearly not just one solenoid. You can see another picture of it here: https://www.alltranz.com.au/shop/drivetrain/automatic-transmission/RE5R01A/product/9305/ The 4 speed automatic in the GTT is Nissan corporate stuff. You can search up similar jobs done on a Frontier or Pathfinder with a RE4R01B to get an idea for what the internals are going to look like and the procedure like this:
