Questions from a foreigner. Help appreciated!

[Guest crunchychewynutz]

Hi all, I am new here, and I have some questions for ya all. I am from Singapore, and I will be coming over to Australia to study soon. Perhaps I may even find a job there after I am done studying.

I am also a HUGE fan of Skylines. Reading through the forum I have got an idea of the cost of a used one. Are new ones available for sale?

I am keen on a R34 GTR, and I was wondering how much would it cost brand new (or is it even available for sale)?

A new one in my country costs about $250,000++ to hit the road. And my currency is almost the same as AUD.

And I can't even customize the engine and exhaust parts. Can't do this....can't do that....bah.

Nutz.

The R34 was not sold by Nissan in Australia, so you cant buy them new. The only GTR ever sold new by Nissan in Oz was the R32.

And only because it WHIPPED everyones arse in the Touring Car Championship.

If you read my post carefully, you'll see that I did not say that I have $250K to burn, I merely stated that a showroom R34 costs $250 big ones and then some to drive one here where I am at. :shake:

Oh yea, here's some more bits for ya alls to chew on:

Toyota Corolla 1.6 GLi = $89,900

Proton Wira 1.5 = $67,888

I assume for the a/m prices I can get a good, used R33 or similar with some hops?

Crazy huh? That's Singapore for ya!

Yeh I went to singapore last July.

Nice City ... except i was fully aware of the car prices and I couldnt believe it. I was told while I was there that you cant own a car thats more than 10 years old (except all your taxi's are driving OLD corolla's) ... anyway ... pretty insane huh?

singapore roxors! awesome city/country.

anyways, an R34 GTR 2nd hand here would cost about say... 90K, possibly up to 100K and might even get one for mid 80's.

check out these sites, they sometimes have some listed.
