There are several errors there xr8eater ,

I know the exchange rate is 82.xx but in reality you will not get more than 80-81 .

Freight is correct @1150 aud but customs clearence is much more , it cost me all up around $1800 and i did my own , no customs agent to pay . Don't forget you have to pay for q/t and they will send you for a steam clean as well . What about towing fees , i didn't pay any i used a trade plate .

Import approval is $165 and your RAW will have to do that, not you , the approval will be issued in their name .

I don't know if you will get a plate for $3500 $4k is more like it .

Sure you can get tyres for less than $1000 ( i can get them for $800 ) but i wouldnt use them in a gtr , so realy you want about 12-1500 .

I dont know about qld country but in sydney rego +CTP is more like 600 - 800 ( depending on owners age ) and stamp duty is 3% for first $56 k and 5% on anything over that .

If you buy an older cheap car you will probably have to change brake pads and maybe rotors so add another $2 k . They wouldn't use genuine pads or rotors , aftermarket are much cheaper .

All that is assuming you get a stock car any mods will have to be removed and you have to source stock parts , some are hard to find used .

As for the 101 imports fee , you don't have to deal with them you can deal direct with a jap firm , even the same one 101 imports use and save your $1000 or so.

Whatever you do don't make the mistake and import a accident car because they may refuse to comply it then the only option is to destroy it or export it . Just ask at these forums a couple of members had to destroy their cars , 1 was a 34 gtr , the other 33 gtst .

Go check the dotars website for info or ask your RAW about accident cars , or rusty cars for that matter .

In reality if you want a reasonable series 1 r34 gtr the auction price would be above 3.5 jpy so fob 3.8 mil +.

Once you get to that price luxury tax comes in to it as well , so do your homework before you think you will get a cheap 34 here .

As i said to pantae before i'll take all the 34 gtrs he can get me for $50k as long as they are complied , no need for rego .

The cheapest 34's for sale in sydney dealers i have seen are about $79.900 for a series 1 none v-spec , complied under the old system with accident history and very rough .

all i did was cut and paste directley from import 101's web site. since then the car has sold to some one in aus for that price so i dont know what to say to you

and i have done my home work i have a v spec in my garage for $64,000 maby you just got ripped off

Good for you then but its still a long way from the $50k you guys were talikng about .

If you imported your v-spec then you should know how much it costs to ship and duty . If you imported it last year then import duty would have been 15% not 10 .

The car at 101imports may have been sold for that to an Aussie but i would like to know what it will end up costing complied and registered .

As for me getting done dont worry about it , like i said i was in Japan recently and i know exacly how much they cost .

Dont forget i didnt buy any gtr , i bought a M-spec , they only built 500 of them from May 2001 so dont compare them with a series 1 v-spec .

When i was there i was interested in an nur m-spec but didnt want to pay the asking price of 6,800 million jpy , thats more than they were sold new .

I bought my second choice and i'm very happy with it until i get an Nur next time .

I was in Japan last november - december and i went to lots of auctions looking for a r34 gtr , i know you will pay  over 4 million jpy at auction for a good series 1 car with no accident history and reasonable ks .

I saw a nur m-spec and they wanted 7.8 million jpy .

I ended up buying a 2001 m-spec .

I think a 2001 M Spec that was bought by an agent I trust is a lot better car than a high klm one that has properly had a hit like the one that was spammed out.

I tried to find one to come in Race Rally that hadn't had a big hit or wasn't too high a klm car and with less restrictions even a budget of 3,400,000 it was nothing but shitty cars somebody wanted to get rid of quick.

The usual wholesalers like Japan Auto Direct, Motor World or Auto Rec who just buy cheap cars that have had hits and will post 10 photos but no auction report, isn't it strange they don't put the auction report up, don't tell me they are useless as it is still better than nothing.

I have seen 300,000 to 400,000 FOB mark up's on EVO/GTR's and GTS-t's/Supras that were high klm plus major panel repair (cut out dealer margin my arse) these guys get kick back's from the seller to the workshop complying the car.

If you don't import it your self from an agent in Japan you would trust with your sister, organise your own compliance and even a custom broker you are paying extra margins (kick back's) simple so "welcome to the real world".

I have access to see everything in Japan so I know what they sell for compared to what people are told, I know of a workshop calling buyers in Japan saying if I don't get a few yen per car I wont plate cars you buy for people, I will just say I don't trust them.

You get RAC or NRMA inspections on $15,000 Delicas off a dealer so how can you trust these guys with blind faith on $70,000 GTR'S, I also know of the R34 GTR in QLD that was exported, I actually got the auction report sent to me, X was used a lot is all I will say.

Like everything in life you pay for what you get, you are buying off car dealers in another country not a one owner EH from your Grandfather.

Far out, I just bought an R34 GTR 2 nights ago. Better start shopping !

My M-spec had 20 k k's on the clock when i bought it and i checked the brake pads ( yea i took my tools and overalls with me ) to make sure it had original pads and rotors . The stock tyres had about 3-4 mm tread left on them as well , in line with the 20 k k's and the leather is still like new and still smells leather .

But xr8 thinks i'm an idiot , i would't buy a 34 gtr unseen although i have a good source in Osaka that would buy me a car .

What if it had a previous accident and they missed it ? You get it here then you cant comply it , then what ? back to Japan ? sell for parts ? we are not talking about a 500,000 gtst here ...

I did my homework before i spend the $ and i was still surprised when i was told that i needed to install a specific immobiliser to make it comply with adr because it was built after May 2001 ( in my case october 2001 ) .

Even though i went throught all the relative material i missed that point .

The other thing i had to confirm from japan with my RAW was the numbers on my brake pads ( they were genuine Brembo) were different with the numbers i had ( got them from my RAW before i went ) .I was told later he had these numbers as well and it was because it was a series 2 .

I can only imagine what the car at 101 imports was like and how much it will cost to comply , if it gets complied . Probably a sub 3 million jpy R car with plenty of rust as well as over 100 k k's but wound back to say 40-50 k k's .

Drift , looks like you are in the busines of either importing or complying skylines .

I noticed that Autoworks ( or something like that ) got their 34 plates in Perth .

How much to comply one in W.A. now ?

[Mik]

and i have done my home work i have a v spec in my garage for $64,000 maby you just got ripped off

Congratulations mate...you've probably bought yourself a 2.5 mil JPY grade R car that some dealer along the way has wound back a hundred thousand kays and bodgily disguised the rust. Was it from the North?

The market in Japan is big enough to eliminate any "bargins". Any car that doesn't bring much money at auction doesn't for a reason. And...if there happened to be a bagain that all the other buyers missed for some reason, it just means extra profit for the broker who buys it. Why would he want to pass on the saving??

Good cars in Japan bring good money. I have seen a stock standard 1991 BNR32 bring 2.5 mil JPY!!

Looking at thrashed crashed R34's that I wouldn't touch with a barge pole aren't my cup of tea, is crash repaired cars your speciality and ones with full respray, which RAWS complies your cars or are you the RAW, I would love to be their when DOTR's do a audit.

Drift , looks like you are in the business of either importing or complying skylines .

I noticed that Autoworks ( or something like that ) got their 34 plates in Perth .

JB WA have them but all plates are gone and their are 4 test cars at other workshops, you cant currently get a R34 GTR complyied as JB wont do punters cars as he doesn't trust what will turn up.

Auto Worx have a old CPA car for sale but not tidy at all from what I am told.

I guide people to buy a skyline free of charge it is that simple, I can comply Soarers (not many) and I have 3 other cars in the system, RAWS will do what a broker charges free of charge over here as it is that simple and they want to move plates.

One importer was given a reference for a customs agent and they wanted $250 plus GST and they guy we use is $150 plus GST, tell me a under the table payment doesn't happen and you can give me the 6 winning lotto numbers as well.

I don't want to do R34 GTR's unless I know who buys them, sorry unless you use who I trust as I don't want to tell some one to export a $80,000 car.

[xr8eater]

my car is fine no rust and your telling me that the k's were wound back what import isn't

and wrxhoon i dont think you were an idiot for checking your car out i was just stateing the fact that you can get a cheap R34 GTR if you are tight on the dollars that is it!

so even if you are dreaming of owning one of these cars save up and do it. forget the nay sayers i could put up with a bit of rust wich can be cut out if i was tight on cash and dont be to scared to aim high

I can tell you that mine isn't wound back , the k's are genuine , i even have the service log book .... How many cars have you seen that come from Japan with log books ?

Yes you can get the odd gtr under 3 mil jpy , it will have over 100 k k's , probably an R car and full of rust underneath and anything not painted , like inside the car , seats , under dash and engine bay . The importer then will spray it all underneath with black proofcoating to hide it all .

The k's will be wound back to 30-40 k k's then sold here for $70 - 80 k .

For your info i have auction prices fro all major auc=tion houses in Japan for the last 2 years i can refer to so i can see what JPY cars bring .

R34 gtrs sell up to 7.5 mill JPY at auction there , yes more than they were sold new .

Series 2 V-spec cars grade 4 A or better from 4.5 million JPY + .

When i was there i could have got a 99 34 gtr v-spec for 2.3 mill but it was 2 cars in one if you know what i mean , only good for parts in Australia you never get it complied .

[ylwgtr2]

you all talk about "none damaged cars"I have seen and done jobs only to forget (later on down the track)which side was replaced and couldnt find it.....if something is done with an auto spotter,colour applied everywhere(inside and underneath)with the correct colour seam sealers applied with the correct gun complete with factory style overspray......How would you ever know????

[inasin]

have done my home work i have a v spec in my garage for $64,000

64k for a series 1 vspec is not bad. The examples in carpoint.com.au are like 80k -90K...ouch....of course you do pay for what you get. But seriously 64k is a more achievable target then the above mentioned price.

So did you do all the work yourself or did you have to go through a broker. What color is your car. I was just wondering if color also affect the price. As I like either blue or white which are common colors for GTR.

[xr8eater]

good point about the colours mine is silver and at the time it wasent so hard to get but apparentley colour choice is making prices go up and down although not sure wich ones are difficult to get these days.

i went through a broker to get my car but at the time i worked for a shipping company called P&O as the north eastern manager and swindled free freight he he.

carpoint is so over priced it's not funny there is an R34 G-TT for sale on there for $44,000

and it's been ther for as long as i can rember.

[SS8_Gohan]

well my car (GT-T) was used as a test vehicle for a workshop in Sydney. They had their inspection on March 7th, and even though i don't have a plate, i thought i'd go up and get the car. They were aiming i think for $3500 for GT-T's. Basically, they just want to use all their plates as quickly as possible (even tho they still have to clear D.I.'s first, anyone know what the time frame on that is, taking into account they had their inspection on March 7th?)

My GT-T got new brake pads as well.

From what you guys have all said, i guess the workshop was pretty trusting of me to give them a car which was going to pass the inspection. Granted, it's not a R34 GTR.. but yeah, could have been rusted and stuff like you guys said.

Some of the jobs I saw under CPA like complete boot floor, R/H Qtr replaced and front of a Supra touching the block which is how the cars were imported, these cars was straight afterwards and the repairs were very good, the Japanese arent known for good repairs.

But we are talking about the rules of importing under RAWS and what you are paying for in Japan, told it is grade 4 and is a clocked accident repair with rust isnt right and is why a few wholesalers are as you would say "black banned" by some workshops including mine.

We dont touch accident repairs as it isnt worth telling the buyier to export it.

Not all panel beaters that hang around in japan are japanese
