I was, and prob still am in ur situation shorty_01, i was gona get a r33 1997 series 2, but now im going 4 a R34.
I rekon u got a better chance on finding 1 here that importing 1. Theres heaps around, n they come up here and there. I founda couple in melb a while bk, but they've prob sold. Melb is ur best chance.
Its pretty hard 2 find 1 at about 17k, especially with low k's, ur better off going 4 somthing around the 60,000kms, and even if its late 1996. I think there was 2 at redline on north east rd the other week.
look around and 1 is bound to pop up. at the same time if u see and r34's let me know ...
actually im thinking of getting a cheap 1996 for a while till i get my r34, cos my non turbo is getting very annoying, especially against my mates HSV GTOLE...lol...
