89's are going for 800-1.1 mill yen at the moment and that is crazy

last year they were going for 400k yen

91 models that are just as crap are going to 400-800 yen

crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but yet people think they are getting a bargain

interesting point Pete, and it shows how much what Aussie are doing affects auction prices.

I bought my 91 gtr for 400k yen it was grade 3.5. Now if I brought it in under SEVS it would cost me an extra $5k for compliance, total @80yen/$ is $10k.

I could now buy a 89 GTR for 800k yen, at the same rate $10k. On top of that at least $1500 for 15yo rego.

So I can buy a SEVS 91 GTR for the same price as a 89 GTR....

the cheapest atm is around 23k already in the country (carsales had 2-3 for this price)  I was hoping that around christmas they would hit around 20k but who knows

id love to get one for 20k but im thinking maybe its not a great idea since chances are it will need atleast another 5k done on it almost straight away unless you get lucky...and then if you have an engine blowout or what ever you will be paying big bucks to get it on the road again.

no way you are going to get one at the end of the year for 20K, especially seeing as the 15yr rule has changed....

You can have mine for $25k. 93 model.

im asking around $24k for my 92.

25k for youre 93 sounds like a reall good buy any mods?

I really dont know why people take the risk by importing one instead of sourcing one already in AUS?

In the trading post there is heaps to choose from and you can actually see how it goes etc

    • Which manifold mate? Meanwhile......Mark is wondering how bonnet vents would look on the NC 🤣
    • Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together. 
    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
