Hi Guys,

I'm looking for a white 2002 R34 GTR V Spec II Nur. Struggling to find one in Aus at the moment.

Found one on carsales for $75K with no service books and I have also heard some negative things about the car.

Anyone know of one of these monsters for sale? I don't really want to import and end up like thousands of others who have been scammed but it may be the best way to get a nur since they are fairly rare.

Any other info such as phone number for a fantastic import broker etc would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

Thousands of others who have been scammed? How did you come to this.

going by the stories not just on this site but on the net. cars not turning up, money being take, cars that are full of rust underneath, different car to the picture etc.

most of the people who have had trouble importing cars are guys who have purchased cars from an overseas exporter sight unseen without any help to guide them. generally (not always though) if you have a broker they can help guard against that as they have relationships with exporters and others in japan who can physically inspect cars for you and find out the truth. that's the important part.

you are right to be cautious but for something like a nur importing is the best way to go for sure. :)

Yes, you are right, there are so many traps in importing cars that I have crop plenty of it as a horby importer in the early days.

You have got a PM

cheers

Unless you know somebody who can do all the stuff in Japan and Australia , get in touch with one of the import brokers on here, eg Iron Chef etc. I was lucky, got an R34 N1 . Paid some money, it got here , paid some money and it was mine, easy and no headaches with all the paperwork .

What's a horby importer?? :S

Beer Baron is on the money, as always...

^^^ to further demonstrate this, i have attached an image which cleverly portrays, JUST HOW much beer baron is on the money as always..

scrooge-mcduck-make-it-rain.jpg

as can be seen here, we see Scrooge McDuck, sitting on top of a pile of money.

Much the same as BeerBaron, who is also spot on the money..

the difference however, is METAPHORICALLY speaking, Beerbaron is on the money, as in he raises a very persuasive and correct arguement. whereas, scrooge mcduck, is literally ON the MONEY. and is physically, as per demonstration above.

...so. who's got some blow?

Mr EPS Is on the money , is on the money , is on the money . lol

In terms of outright performance for sure, but for rarity/resale etc etc, Nurs hold their value a lot better than base models do. Depends on what you're after really, I think I got the best of both worlds with mine haha

PS Matt, finally getting around to fitting those ricey tail lights today!

yes don't buy a nur expecting a rocket ship but they do have some nice gear on them and as people pointed out their resale is rock solid. considering a nur in aus will fetch between $80 and $90K depending on condition and a standard 99 GTR will fetch $45-$55K and you get the idea. The carbon bonnet is very, very nice (but not really any lighter than the alloy stock ones), the other little bits are nice and the N1 engine is nice but they are still a pretty pedestrian car in standard form. any standard GTR has far more handling and grip than it does power so they are a bit underwhelming stock. but as little as a boost increase, ecu change/tune, exhaust and you suddenly have 230kw (or more) at the wheels and they sound better and suddenly feel like a sports car.

true the whole point of a GTR is its potential, given it's age now a stock STI or Evo will at least keep up and probably surpass any stock R34 variant on the track. Put some mods in though and especially when you're wanting 400hp+ then the GTR does it far easier.

The different variants are worth it in my opinion. Even something as small as a standard GTR vs Vspec why bother saving $5k with a standard GTR when the vspec has better aero, LSD, attessa and engine sensors.

okay do this as an experiment tomorrow - go up to a friend of yours n say

"i just bought an R34 GTR Nur spec edition"

then go to another friend, and tell this freind:

"I just bought an R34 GTR"

try it..

...see which one feels better to say :)

Edit: make sure that friend really knows their cars first - a female with no car knowledge will usually respond with "Oh that's nice" for most cars other than a Lambo or Ferrari...

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
