I had no real problems with Rego and pits....it did fail first time over but that was just due to no 'Govermnet approved' immobilizer.

I was reading Unique or Just cars :confused: on the weekend and there was a few 89 GTRs in there for around $20000

so i thought why not have a really tough (300awkw) GTR in the shed and just use it to have fun in.  

Anyone have a better idea

No....All a 300awKW GTR should ever be is a toy (for mere mortals like us!:D ) driving them day to day becomes very costly & inefficient, as your running your expensive tyres, turbos, clutches etc etc into the ground just doing the daily grind, not to mention the excess fuel consumption that comes with a modded car.

Get yourself a nice comfortable...cheap to maintain daily driver, keep your toy for best :P

Naman: I paid about 23.5k to import my '89 GTR all up, if I had the money now with what I know i'd just find a genuine private seller and buy it locally for the same money ;)

Pentae- would you like to share with us a break down of you importing costs, I could just search- bound to be some relevent info on here.

I think the 15 year rule was a great opportunity missed for importing some wild cars i know one Medori (spelling?) and a wide body Versiled GTR got though but it would have been nice to see more "full workshop tune GTR” [or in English] workshop demo GTR’s get though!

Unfortunately I missed the boat when it came to purchasing a GTR under the 15 year rule but I’m hopeful under the SEVS I can pick up a R32 GTR VSpec II or just by locally a R33 GTR (I suspect they be around the same price mid 30k).

Back to the topic at hand- he (fake400r) already has a daily driver and a GTS-T to play with: I would sell the GTS-T for a start on a deposit on a house! But if the man want’s a GTR- now is the best time to buy!

fake400r I'd recomend a drive to Melbourne and pick one up there! Worth the trip interstate. Canberra is in a similar situation- one or two import’s, 1 very dodgy – others are questionable! I’d be going to Sydney for my next car!
