only 40k? That's how much they were 4 years ago!haha You can get a beat up R34 GTR for 28k easy but buyer beware! By the time I'm done I would have spent around 30-35k for my GTT, engine swap and all the mods (performance, exterior,interior). In the end, my GTT will look better than a stock GTR and will be faster than a stock GTR hands down... well worth it. If I wanted to buy a GTR I would have to sell my GTT (i would get 16k at best since GTTs are a dime a dozen in Japan and I can't sell it to koreans w/o them paying over 10k in taxes) so I would still need 24k just to have a STOCK R34 GTR.... then modding it from start would be expensive.... not worth it in my situation when I can be done with my project at 35k. GTR's are the sheit but sadly I'm in no situation to be able to afford it and satisfy my spending splurges.

unless your talkn about just the car theres no way u can get a decent gtr for 40k by the itme it lands here.

well around 40K I mean... good ones do come by, as long as you're patient, not picky and don't want an Nur or V Spec or anything fancy.

like this run of the mill one:

42k landed and complied.

chak8080, yeah sorry mate, didn't think about korea... it'd be a lot cheaper over there. I was talking in terms of the lads in oz.

i wouldnt exactly call something with over 90,000 a decent gtr.

i wouldnt bother with a gtr if it had over 40,000kms but thats just me.

although it defiently is an attractive offer.

sighs, sometimes i wonder if pouring so much into a GTT is even worth it all =[

lmao... a 9 year old 1999 car with 40,000kms on it? that's 4500km's a year.

Are you trying to tell me if you owned a GTR you'd drive only 4500 km's a year? Personally my car chalks up about 20,000 to 25,000 a year, and it hasn't missed a beat.

a 40,000km GTR will show up sometime somewhere... and it'll most definitely have its odo tampered unless its one of those exceptionally rare cars that have genuine low kms. Unfortunately its the guys that use the km reading as a yard stick on a cars quality that'll fall for it and snap it up.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
