Hi there Jono,

When buying an import there are a couple of documents that you should reference to your car. These include, the auction sheet, de-registration and any details you can dig up on registration in Australia. Being a new import there probably isn't any information from a registration in Australia. 

This car appears to show a de-reg certificate for the model, however I couldn't spot the cars VIN anywhere in the advertisement. You will need to match the VIN on the certificate, vs the VIN on the blue tag in the back left of the engine bay.

^This will be your friend in this instance.

Search for "Advice on buying R34 GT" or some other equivalent topic.

 

As for the car itself, it does look very clean and would suggest that the kms are correct. But i'm not expert and you will need to do your homework to be sure of what you might be buying. Best of luck.

Okay, after this, i'm going to leave you to search. Google and the Search bar here will help you out.

In particular you should read through this forum:

Normally, they go to auction in Japan are purchased and shipped over. In the auction process they are graded (please google Japanese Car Auction Process). 

One someone purchases the car it is shipped over from Japan and complied to local laws here in Australia. 

Then you can buy them and register them in your state. Good luck!

      Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By BourneToLive · Posted

      Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know.

      RB30DET timing belt tensioner relocation query

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      By DanielStone · Posted

      Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
