Currently in the market for a bayside blue 34 GTR, this thread makes me want to import one for the experience.

The only thing stopping me is the fact that I like to be able to look at the car in person, touch it, drive it - etc before I jump in to a purchase!

Trust me for a big purchase like that, find one locally.

[birdyy]

I guessing buying a car here is a lot easier.

I presume you have to really know the car u want if u want a car imported.

think ill buy locallly

[kessian]

After importing one, i would definately buy one here. Not because i had a bad experience, just because it is a lot easier to purchase one here.

^^^^But isnt it allot cheaper to import.... for E.g....http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan%20car/nissan/skyline/1090318/

That 34 has a 2ltr engine and isn't eligible for import. Its the bottom of the range model (2000cc/auto/non turbo) which is why the price is so low.

Ok thanks...

but ok...heres an example...

Aus carsales Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R..this is the cheapest i could find with light mods...

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...=13&__Qpb=true

Then Jap import Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R

As above... you dont no how the engine is running bla bla...but assuming you get it imported by these guys http://carizma.com.au/Pages/Import%20-%20Process.htm who supposedly "thoroughly inspect vehicles" to make sure your getting what you are looking for...and not a lemon

wouldnt you say that its a bargain?

[Priestley]

One of the importers on here would be able to give a better answer than myself on this car, but from my view theres something not right with that GTR. Its listed as having 57,000 k's and is only $9,500. If the K's are genuine then its most likely had some serious accident repairs (making it not eligible for import) to be priced so low or its been wound back, has done 300,000k's and is on its last legs.

There have been a few R33 GTRs for sale in the last year between $18-21,000 that I've seen. All of them were in poor condition and in need of some serious cash being spent on them in the near future.

If you speak to J-Spec, Iron Chef etc you'll be able to get an idea of price for a landed car. You might save a couple of thousand $ through importing, but you won't be saving $5000 by buying one and shipping it here.
