Hello from across the world!
Great forum you guys have here, i've been poking around and finding some great R34 information on here (Since I can't read Japanese)
As you guys may or may not know - Us Canadians can also import vehicles from Japan - However we must wait until the car is 15 years or older. So, 2014 we can finally import the R34's! I have some questions if you guys don't mind, as I plan to purchase one late 2013 and import in 2014.
First off is regarding colors, this mainly applies to the GTR and GTR Vspec as it's a toss between those two that I plan on purchasing.
I'm aware of the various colors available, and have seen pictures of all of them as well. Which of these colors are considered "rare"? Since many Canadians will be importing these cars, i'd prefer to take the color that is less common. I'd LOVE Bayside Blue, and I still may choose that color - however I feel that will be the #1 color everyone else picks.
I'm very fond of the Millenium Jade and Silica Breath colors as well. Are any of these colors (Excluding Z-tune Silver) ONLY on v-specs? Are there colors that are only on GTR's? Only on GTS?
Second question, Is the V-spec worth the extra money? From what i've been reading it also comes with a lap timer and G-meter (G-meter sounds pretty cool), exhaust/intake temp on the display. A little bit of CF goodies and a better suspension. Is it worth it? Keep in mind, being a 15 year old car when I get it, i'll most likely be changing suspension items to stiffer aftermarket.
Lastly, what websites are you guys looking at in Japan to look at vehicles? I've been using...
http://www.japaneseusedcars.com/auction/auctions_results.htm
To get a general idea on how much they are selling for. Are there any others you guys could recommend?
Thanks guys!
I know this is a Skyline forum, but I figured i'd show you guys my current ride that I will be departing with for an R34 next year!
