Where can I see a R34 4dr in Sydney

[blukie]

I'm interested in purchasing a R34 4 door but I have yet to see one in the flesh. Anyone know where I could possibly see one in Sydney????? I've seen several pictures but not one in the flesh.

I seen some on carpoint, except 4dr non-turbo.

[d0p3y]

Aren't you only able to import the Turbo 4dr's now? I thought they put a stop to the non-turbo ones.

[ed]

dunno...but I've seen one forsale on carpoint...

[d0p3y]

Maybe it's SEVS that doesn't allow the non-turbo ones. Cannot remember exactly where i read it

[GoldZilla]

Had a look at the SEVS lsit today (I think it's the current one, not sure if it will change as of May 8th) and it looks as though pretty much ALL R-34's will be eligible to import.

That includes the RB25DE atmo and even the RB20DE...

The link is here.

Just click on the second-last option on the left of the page: "Register of Specialist and Enthusiast Vehicles"

Also, if you have time, check out the link above that ("SEVS Information" - the third-last option) and go through the bulletins towards the bottom of that page. Lots of reading, but an insight into what they're trying to do.

Either way, it sucks in my opinion. Why restrict the number of cars coming into the country, when they serve the purpose of:

- satisfying a market not already catered to;

- supporting a lot of new or fairly-recently established businesses;

- protecting the jobs of the people employed in these businesses; etc.

They state in the first bulletin that the purpose is to ensure that quality cars are coming into the country, which is fair enough if that was their only agenda.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that it's more of a money-making scheme and/or a pandering to the requests of the bigger local car-makers. I think that's including Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi - who were obviously not game enough to cater to the market in the first place, and are now jealous that they've missed their opportunity and/or are losing sales to the "Grey Import" dealers and importers. I've also heard that parties responsible for implementing the SEVS rulings have actually clearly stated that they are deliberately out to reduce or shut down the industry bracket...

Oh well, time will tell.

I'm going to go through all the bulletins and see where it seems to be leading us.

BTW Blukie, happy 30th again, son...

Is that under the old or new scheme?

$4.5k approx. for Turbo 2 Dr GTT old scheme!

[T0nyGTSt]

Why would compliance be so expensive?

It should be no more technical than a plain 32/33/34 coupe.

[NismoR34]

there must be something else to do, tail lights are different, maybe the doors need replacing ;}

[blukie]

Thankyou all for your replies. NISMO R34 thanks for the example you spotted. I have spoken to Geoff breifly about this car and yes it will be $7000.00 to comply this car.

Does anyone know why ????

1 reason I got from Geoff was that the front headlights have to be replaced because the projector headlamps do not comply. So basically if you purchase an R34, I believe that you pay someone to downgrade your headlamps, you pay labour, pay for the down graded headlamps and they don't even give U back the originals.

You purchase the car, I believe you have the right the keep what comes with it.

I really, really want an R34 4 door, but can't justify paying someone to "downgrade the car" . That's stupidity.

Well it looks like it's back to HSV for me.

SEVS rules SUCK.

[T0nyGTSt]

Hmmm... depends on your compliancer.

I had to do a lot of shit to my car... I mean it even says so on the SEVs document but I didn't do anything.

I didn't even replace the Japanese tyres.

Geoff will tell you what SHOULD be done, not what can be done.

[NismoR34]

The 2 door is generally the same in regards to the lights - if you are lucky you may get to keep the originals
