Whats My Budget Good For?

[R-SPEC]

Hi

just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction as i have no idea what websites you guys look at to view cars in japan

basically i want to get the latest model GTR within my budget (mid $30k'ish)

i was thinking a series 3 r33 gtr but is it possible to get a r34 gtr for that much? preferably factory standard and untouched

i know theres definately no chance of finding a r34 gtr locally for under 40K hence why im looking at importing

i'd appreciate any assistance

Well firstly, I knew of a guy who bought an R34 GTR from Melb for 38 grand but....

It was a real shitter. I saw the car after he drove it back to Sydney. Personally I wouldnt have even paid 8 grand for it.

But a simple answer to your question is you'll get a very nice late R33 or a very very average R34 for your money. If you really have your heart set on an R34, why don't you just wait and save a bit more?

i know of the one your talking about, what was bad about it? it looked pretty clean in the pics

whichever one i get i'll be keeping for a long time, i hate the whole process of buying/selling so definately dont want a shitter.

i'm looking at getting something original, very clean and untouched in any way and i plan on keeping it that way.

i could wait and save more i guess

what do r34 gtr's go for usually in the above condition and landed, complied, registered etc?

thanks

Nearly all cars look a million dollars in a picture. But that car had a lot of issues but Johnny (the new owner) stuck with it, got nearly everything fixed and sold the car. I don't want to defame that car just in case the new owner is here.

You can get an original, clean 99-00 R34 with higher kms for about 45-47k complied (based on a 3 mil yen fob price), or with lower kms would be a bit more.

Or you can buy something like this for 45k already here.

Actually when I looked at that car closely, I noticed it's my old gtr lol. I imported that one but it's not a grade 5 car so the seller is telling porkies... still it was a good clean example, grade 4/B, totally stock except for the Zeal coilovers.

^^^^ that thread will give you a fair budget to look at...

as JDM performance predicted... 1.5 - 1.7 milly

would fall within your budget and leave some left for insurance and "issues"

that particular car looked stunning
