darrinspencer, my point is that the condition of the cars will be very poor, and im pretty sure it isn't worth wasting you money on, as you would need to fix so many things

I agree there are some poor quaility 15 yr old GTR in japan.

Prestige have high prices

A mate of mine bought his 95 33 gtst from them it owed him $22,000 plus rego.

i admit it had a nice aftermarket body kit.

I payed $12,500 plus rego and tyres

Put the cars side by side and the only difference is the body kit.

You need to shop around.

Buying any car thru a Australian dealer you will have pay a price

That's why they are in bussiness.

we all would like to drive a 34 GTR done 10,000km, but who has $65,000 plus to buy one

I know i don't.

Plus, i drive my GTS-t to the shop and back so if i where to replace it with a GTR YES i would drive that to the shop and back to.... i don't get your point... there are flogged out cars everywhere... there are also good cars everywhere...

this one looks ok... http://www.cineaction.co.jp/japanese_used_...gi?did=10013876

also, i'd never want a car that's only been driven to the shops and back because once you give it a bootfull the piston rings etc are gonna go "oh my god, i've never been worked this hard in my life, bye bye!!!"

ok DJ984 im not going to post in this topic anymore, becuase you don't understand the point i am tring to make, you are acting like a little child, i am right and you are wrong 13_devil.

"we ARE realistic..." -yeap sure you are, you should all make an importing company im sure you would make a heap

so go ahead buy your 89gtr, i was just tring to help cya

DJ984, what i was tring to say was that the dream gtr

female driver - driven only to the shops and back low km , top condition for 15k is just a mthy i have never seen such a car

You will in 2004 because you no longer have to comply them at a cost of $6600

plus they are a bit cheaper in japan now and the exchange rate

12 months ago you would have payed about $24,000 for the same car that you can now buy for $15,000 in 2004.

Would paying $24,000 for the same car be any better.

Think about it.

Guest darrinspencer
like i said go ahead buy a 89gtr, and import 100 of them for everyone else and make 200% profit like someone already said

13_devil

I will gladly sell you a car in 2004 for $25,000 if you think you will be getting a good buy because you payed top dollar.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
