moving to new zealand

[z34]

hi everyone!

i'm new in this forum and introduced by some of my friends.

i'll be moving to new zealand in couple of months and will stay there for about three years or so.
i'm thinking of buying a skyline there (regardless it is gtr or gt) of any ver. (regardless it is r32 or 33 or 34).

do you guys hv any idea where to acquire information about owning skyline there?
things that kept playing in my mind are
- nz is left hand drive i think. is it possible to change to right hand drive?
- r34 and the older version of skyline is considered old. is it possible to bring back my car into malaysia if i've done with my business there?
- do u guys have any links that can lead me to skyline owners in nz?

thanks in advance.
long live for skyline

I spent almost 10 years of my life in NZ.

It is RHD in NZ!

Join Skylinesdownunder.

It I were to move to NZ, I would immediately go to Rotorua to see RIPS. Then find an already converted RIPS R32 and enjoy the lovely NZ roads!!!

RB30 baby.. give those Supra boys a run for their money

 

[zamad97]

NZ$50k consider cheap but they actually cost more.. maybe the earlier version are cheaper.

like gobiz said.. join the skylinesdownunder.. for info and if u wish to survey the market prize, try here.. trademe.co.nz

gobiz..... why u run out from nz.. tax mahal yer..

Bump: i don like nz road.. the highway just like our jalan persekutuan.. and no RnR here..

sooooo boring.

thank god it is RHD.

wow. the current price really makes me salivate. as compared to price here in malaysia.

and of course the quality of RIPS' workmanship and their products really impressing. esp the DRAG-R and the stealth bomber.

awesome bro..come on down to auckland and join us in skylinedownunder.. i'll put the word out to the boys if you're keen to buy to buy one.. :wavey:



Bump: and like they said R.I.P - Look out for Rob,he is the "Sifu" in RB engines... also also ST-hitech ..these are the big boys

 

[z34]

hello dre42. u stay in auckland?

visited the skyline down under forum. but its quite not happening there.

while browsing the net to study about owning a skyline, i came across a site that is justdriven.com

one of the guys there bought a gtt and then fully convert everything to gtr parts. the engine, the exterior and the interior. even when it stands beside a real gtr, it's almost impossible to determine which one is gtt or gtr.

so, one thing comes into my mind.

do u guys support the conversion of gtt into a gtr-look-alike skyline. i mean convert it to gtr body part, engine and other performances part like what that guy did.

i'm thinking of doing this since after the survey, i found that generally the price of r34 gtt is half of the price of r34 gtr in nz. even some of them is 1/3 of the price of r34 gtr!

i think the bodypart is not a big matter since it is easily accessible around the world.

for the performance, will leave it to what u guys have mentioned earlier - R.I.P.S

what do u guys say?

 

[farizio]

won't be the same, and a lot of work if you're talking bout the R34 series..

not to mention a lot of small2 things eg; GT-R fenders are super light aluminum versus the steel ones on the GTT (this would only matter if you;re a purist though hahaha)

but to each his own... my two cents? since you're gonna RIPS it out, might as well do it on a GT-R!!!

 

[flabby]

drop a rb33 in a 240z..

 

[V-Spec]

Are there more weldings in a BNR34 versus an ER34?
