Currently in the market for a bayside blue 34 GTR, this thread makes me want to import one for the experience.

The only thing stopping me is the fact that I like to be able to look at the car in person, touch it, drive it - etc before I jump in to a purchase!

Trust me for a big purchase like that, find one locally.

^^^^But isnt it allot cheaper to import.... for E.g....http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan%20car/nissan/skyline/1090318/

look at the price....i dont understand...lol

That 34 has a 2ltr engine and isn't eligible for import. Its the bottom of the range model (2000cc/auto/non turbo) which is why the price is so low.

Ok thanks...

but ok...heres an example...

Aus carsales Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R..this is the cheapest i could find with light mods...

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...=13&__Qpb=true

Then Jap import Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R

As above... you dont no how the engine is running bla bla...but assuming you get it imported by these guys http://carizma.com.au/Pages/Import%20-%20Process.htm who supposedly "thoroughly inspect vehicles" to make sure your getting what you are looking for...and not a lemon

wouldnt you say that its a bargain?

One of the importers on here would be able to give a better answer than myself on this car, but from my view theres something not right with that GTR. Its listed as having 57,000 k's and is only $9,500. If the K's are genuine then its most likely had some serious accident repairs (making it not eligible for import) to be priced so low or its been wound back, has done 300,000k's and is on its last legs.

There have been a few R33 GTRs for sale in the last year between $18-21,000 that I've seen. All of them were in poor condition and in need of some serious cash being spent on them in the near future.

If you speak to J-Spec, Iron Chef etc you'll be able to get an idea of price for a landed car. You might save a couple of thousand $ through importing, but you won't be saving $5000 by buying one and shipping it here.

Yea....im new to the skyline world...although i drive a car with a nissan heart :dry: i really love r33 gt-r's ect so im just lookin at some options...but thanks for the info...btw is there a thread on what makes the car eligibile to send over? like what it can and cant have...or has to ect?

Thanks

    • Updating results following our SR20det project. Data collected form improves future turbocharger making and high flowing services. So far differences between G and GT series turbine wheels, we are in the process of making a new turbine, the aim is for better mid top range flow without gain too much lag.  Result is back to back comparison of G25-660 and GTX2867 spec turbochargers on the same car, nothing changed apart from turbocharger. Both tuned to knock limit from pump 98 fuel (US Ron93). GTX2867 was about 400RPM more responsive making 255rwkws while G25-660 made 17 extra Kws with wider spread of torque after 4500RPM finishing off at 272rwkws.  
    • @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?
    • Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?
    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
