16K was acheivable a little while ago
500,000yen at current exchange rate is $6578 ( based on 76yen)
multiply by 15% = $7565
add shipping , approx $1500 =$9065
multiply by 10% GST = $9972
Factor $1k for tyres and $1K for compliance type issues =$11065
Add lic , stamp duty = approx $900 and you have one cheap GTR
Problem is , the engine will be near dead so add another $6-8K which then makes your GTR not so attractive...
Cheers

ps , Fatz at 800Kyen it still comes out to about $15K on the road.
