[b1ancardi]

Does anyone have a list of what Skylines and their individual models costed when they were new, here in Australia?

$100 million dollars.

[gazza750]

they are an import were not available new from nissan dealers i dont think

[PSI_GTSII]

Apart from a few R32 GTRs sold locally by Nissan, The R31 Series was the last Skyline sold in Australia.

Hence you wont get a list price new in Aust of a "series 1 R33 GTST 4 door"

Here you are big fella.

Althought these prices are not the "brand new price" if you were thinking of selling or buying for that matter here is a rough guide.

AFAIK, the later skylines were only really a Japanese only model, not sold anywhere else, but only available by importing. but 100 R32 GTR's were sold in australia by nissan, but didnt sell too well. I heard that Kerry Packer bought a few as well?

what... I thought R32s and R33s were sold here, seeing as they are actually quite a common car.....?

anyone know what they sold for straight from Nissan in Yen?

I'm just curious is all. Not selling or buying anything, only mentioned the GTST 4 door in particular because my Rb25det came out of one.

Apparently he owned 3, and drove one to work very often. Thats pretty good seeings how he could have driven any car ever built and he chose a skyline... restecpa.

i also heard Kerry Packer had one of the cars highly modified to suit the track? not too sure if it was Gibson Motorsport.

you can check the new 'redbook' prices here

but you wont find new prices for skylines, because as mentioned above, they were never sold here by nissan.

A good comparison in yen would be a model sold here, price to price in japan.

[RBwhatever]

I think he wants to know how much they were brand new in yen, then convert that yen to AU$.

Like if he was in japan when the first 33's came out, how would he have to pay for one brand new in AU$....

Although currency has changed in value since then.

I used to have the prices. my computer died.

Keep in mind that prices change - inflation. 93 model 33s are now 13 years old.

remember skyline > 200sx. which were sold in the 40s here.

Skylines common? it's only because you're on the look out for them. e.g. if you were actually looking out for au falcons, you'd see about 10-15 times as many as skylines.

[kralster]

Yeah i found that as well.

When i got my first car a 92 toyota camary i couldn't ever remember seeing them around that much. When i got mine though i'd see them all the time driving around.

[Triskillion]

what... I thought R32s and R33s were sold here, seeing as they are actually quite a common car.....?

i notice everyone says skylines are common... i personal dont think so. lets take a 1000 cars... out of that thousand how many would be a 32, 33 or 34. not many at all. you never hear someone say, civics are common... preludes are common, 180's are common, silvias are common.

just skylines, maybe because they stand out!!! haha

id hear my friends talk about someone in a silvia or a 180 saying it was "sick" or whatever even though there are a hell of alot of the silvia range (considering s14's and s15's were locally deliverd) but when i bought my r33 most of them turned up there noses and just said.... pffft seen so many of them and didnt even want to look at the car.

[b1ancardi]

na, Skylines are pretty common. I know at least 4 people that own a post R32 Skylines.... And you see at least one a day. IMO, thats what I call common, especially for a car that was never sold here new.

Plus, look how many members this forum has, theres what? 23,000 members.... vast majority are Skyline owners of course.

R32, R33,and R34 Skylines collectively are more common than the modern Monaros. Theres only what, 13,000 of them all up. I'd say theres more than 13,000 post R32 Skylines

but anyways...
