Guest reggin

greetings, after trying to learn as much as possible about the importing process and now having sufficient funds I’ve decided to take the plunge however not exactly sure what I can afford. I definitely want an R34 and have roughly $26-28k to spend all up (excluding registration) My question is with my budget would I bet better off going for the non turbo or turbo? Taking into consideration I would much rather get a good condition GT with low kilometres than a low grade GTT with 100,000km+. If anyone knows roughly what these two vehicles are going for and/or has some links that would be most appreciated (also I am looking for 2dr 5spd man) Cheers in advance

J-Spec are your friends. They will find you the perfect car and make the process really easy.

If you were one of my close friends and were considering a non-turbo I would slap you silly. You wont be happy if you buy a NA one and then drive a Turbo one.

You can't use the insurance to high excuse Just Cars is cheap as.

Please buy a turbo !

Hope this helps.

cheers for the help guys, first things first i'll make sure i can get insurance, i had a look at the sold vehicles on prestigemotorsport.com and the turbos seen to be selling from about 27 upwards, most in the low 30's though, hopefully something decent will come up! i'll also get in touch with jspec (as you suggested dsteffe) and see what they say

Hey

I got my R34 from these guys in the north (northshoreprestige.com.au) and it is a complete charm. I'm still yet to find out if $28K was a bargain or not for a Tiptronic GTT with 38K kms on it, but go visit their site and I'm sure you'll be surprised, if you are serious about it, I could probably organise for a better price as well since I have a personal connection with them.

If your new to imports a word of advice, pay no attention to km's on the cars, nearly all Jap cars are wound back before being sold to us :( Pay attention to the condition of the whole car, seats, steering wheel, handbrake boots, brake/clutch/acel pedals.

dont spend big cash on a non turbo only to get kicked in the ass by some bogan in his commy... save my friend... yous are goin to be mad but why by a 34 gtt based on looks alone.... im sure id prefer a custom wide kit which can be done by jetspeed quoted around 6k for my 33 which would turn WAY more heads than your 34... but then again a wide 34 damn!! ;)

its not so much i want to get an r34 to turn heads, personally i just think they are a better looking car and far less common, obviously id rather go the gtt but dont wanna get something in poor condition if thats all i can afford

Hi reggin,

Well i just got my r34 GT-T this one is going to be my third skyline first one was a 95 GTS-T 1.5 r33 2nd one was a 96 r33 series 2 and now a r34 GT-T all up i think this car will cost me around the 26k mark not 100% sure atm but i truely beleive if your going to come into the world of skylines get a turbo version. They are much more fun i'd recommend J-spec but i imported this one all myslef with help from friends but if this is your first import go with j-spec and ask for either Ben or Grath (spell).

Should have my r34 on road in two weeks its in compliance work shop atm.

Prestige is more expensive i beleive cause you should really be able to get one as allbitz says for aound the 26-27 mark under 100k in good condition grade 4 or 3.5 with interior B with no damage but the colour will prolly have to be a grey or white ordinary colours. If you really want to save money get a semi automatic one instead of manual or go for 4 door GT-T that still has the RB25DET engine.

    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
    • It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?  
    • I did say no low balling (Insert copy and paste article from Motor mag with complete history of R32 GTR development and racing history here)
