They can trade in some GTR's and stagera for a few of out trophies!

I'd trade an R32 GTR for an E30 M3 Evo III or Ravaglia, even in LHD

There are an abundance of Skylines here, but with England about the size of WA I suppose its just more concentrated there, we only have a population of some 20Million, something like London??

Pardon my total ignorance BUT are there not many GTR`s in OZ?  Why not?

'cause they're friggin expensive here! Like $90k (~45,000 pounds) for an R34 GT-R and most people that buy them here are under 35 (generalising a bit).. which kinda means you have to be earning a crapload of money to be able to afford a decent GT-R.

And for that price here there are plenty of alternatives which seem to grab people that can be had for new with all the warranty crap (Boxsters, Honda 2000's, BMW's, HSV GTS, Mercs, etc).

Just done the conversions on those figures and they are all cheaper than the UK prices.

R32 maybe starts about the same.

Also an R33 but these will be VERY rough at this price and most are a lot more.

R34 we have no hope of getting at the price - would need around 100k aus for that.

$75 large for an R34 GTR in Australia??

Where would this be at? I've been keeping an eye on R34 prices

since I bought mine in July & I have not seen one for less than

$95 k.The last Unique cars had 6 for sale between $95 & $125.

These prices seem to be fairly stable compared to the R33 GTR.

For half the money of an R34 the R33 GTR is really great value.

A new Honda S2000 is $80,400.Not too much more to stretch to the R34 GTR & much more satisfying.Great with the top down & cruising through town etc, but the Honda really needs to be driven hard to get the best out of it & by the time the VTEC has cut in the R34 would be on the horizion.Nothing like the torque of

a twin turbo RB26 to motivate you.

On that note, I drove a new 911 turbo the other day & couldn't

believe how quick it was.It comes on boost much quicker than the R34 & just pulls like a train from 2000 - 6000rpm.Very impessed.

Pity they cost more than twice what a NEW VspecII R34 GTR would cost.

Great to see so many tough R34s in UK.Cant wait to see more here.

Do you guys drag your street cars over there?

Skyline fan.

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
