Hey Guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows what R34 V-Spec II's are actuallying selling for at the moment?
I have a rough idea from auction starting prices etc. but never get see what they actually end for.

I'm hoping to start looking for one to import at the end of this month but the budget im aiming for is 55k max, including compliance, shipping, rego and everything else that goes with it.

Basically what im asking is if its possible to get a decent V-Spec II within my budget with low k's and as clean as possible, no or very little scratches inside and out.

It's probably asking alot for what im wanting to pay, but thought i would just check incase lol.

Any help would be great.

3 million yen at today's rated exchange 1 to 1 approx $48,000 - $50,000 landed complied

condition you would be getting grade 4 car with under 100,000klm or very close to it.

these Vspec2 are a little harder to buy but with the right person giving you auction access should be able to allow you to search and see for yourself.

According to J-Spec's calculator, I get the following for a 3 mil car:

AU$ 1,100 J-Spec fee
AU$ 28,645 car cost
COST IN JAPAN = AU$ 29,745
AU$ 1,084 ocean freight
AU$ 4,620 import duty & GST
AU$ 1,100 customs clearance
FREIGHT COSTS = AU$ 6,804
compliance (not specified)
other costs (not specified)
AU$ 1,718 rego & stamp duty
LOCAL COSTS = AU$ 1,718
ON-ROAD COST = AU$ 38,267

Does this sound about right?

Ye that sounds pretty accurate but keep in mind that the auction STARTING prices range from low 3 mil up to 5 and a half mil (for genuine v spec II 5As). What they usually end up going for is quite a bit more than that (in the case of auctions starting at the lower end). So basically with that budget you could expect something mid range. I'd say 4B with probably just over 100000 genuine km. The exchange rate now is better than it was a year or two ago but is still nothing in comparison to what it was 4-5 years ago. Your best bet is finding a clean one in the country that was imported before the slump in exchange rates which would see you paying now roughly 30% more for the same car than you would back then.

I don't quite follow this part. Do you mean finding one in Japan or aus?

Sorry my bad, I've dropped off the loop a bit with the exchange rate. Since I was in Japan a few months ago the exchange rate has improved significntly. Still not as high as it was a few years ago when 1 AUD was buying more than 110 yen, (now costing ~10% more not 30% as I'd mentioned when comparing) but at 1 AUD currently buying over 100 yen, it's certainly a good time to import. The last time we saw exchange rates this good was years ago. I retract my previous comments....... until the exchange rate drops again!!

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.

      R34 GT > GTT compatibilities

      Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
