Average [40k] is about right with dealers & resellers, direct imports can be had for as little as 33-35k, though 30k is definately a stretch - that is if you want a 1/2 decent car...

there was also another one that went thru about 3 weeks ago... black... no wing... TURBO... was a 99 model... nice rims and a POD filter and aftermarket front bar and that went for 31k.

Yes, that car had over 90,000 kms on the clock - or perhaps even more? And from memory it was an auto...[cheaper in japan in auto as this is standard manual is optional cost].

no it was a manual and had about 75k on the clock... point is u can get them cheaper by importing...

the 27k R34 GTT was stock... yellow and had about 89 on the clock... it was accident repaired but repaired very well. for 27k i'd get it.

EDIT***

if i had the money at the time that is

no actually it was yellow... got a pic but its too big and i have no editing software here at work.

use windows "Paint!" lol, unless iprimus don't allow it! :(

So you guys reckon there might be something wrong with that GTT R34 for High $30? it has only done 22,000km's and the paint seems pretty intact.. no scratches.. think it is a 99 model..

Nope.

Just make sure you give it a thorough checking, like looking for uneven lines in the panels / bonnet etc, look for welds under the bonnet where the quarter panels meet the engine bay. Also look for resprayed panels - usually lighter or darker than the rest of the car...maybe get an racv report on it. Drive it! And then bargain for it - if you want to that is. Price is quite good, but you can probably knock it down a bit - I bought mine from Ballarat too!

Oh yeah, and ask the seller if its been in an accident!

I am under the impression the car in question [pushead's thread] is in the town of Ballarat.

Cruize down to ballarat today as one of my friend wanted a r34.

$36.5 does seem a touch high. I'm budgeting around $37K for an R34 GT-T which i'm going to import later this year. Just saving at the moment. The only info i've been goin on is the J-Spec auction lists, and average seems to be around 35K, cheaper ones low 30's, more expensives ones around 37-38. I'm trying to find one like the one in my avatar which is going to make things a little more expensive again. Tempted about black at the moment too, coming to join ya nismo!! :D

the silver one looks very nice, really like those wheels. Suit the car real well. There was a private GT-T for sale in Ballarat. Saw it at carpoint.com.au. It was the GTR Purple, looked very, very l337! :) I'll try and find it...

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
