Advice On Purchasing An R34 Gtr

[Lithius]

Hey guys, i'm looking to upgrade to what I see as the pinnacle in my automotive interest. I started with an R32 GTST (loved the turbo, loved the feel of the car) then moved onto an R34 GTT (loved as the previous, but also the more modern feel, better condition etc) Now I want to move onto an R34 GTR but I realise I don't know all that much about them. I've been looking at them for the past few weeks but was just wondering if anyone could help me out with a few things.

1) What is the average cost of an R34 GTR? Ie what is the amount of money I should set aside to get myself a good conditioned low km R34.

2) What is the reason for the huge price differences between some of the R34 GTR? As an example if you look at this link (it was a price sorted r34 search but doesn't seem to work as a link) there's upto $20,000 difference between GTR of similar year, mods etc. How much would YOU pay for a stock or lightly modified 1999-2001 GTR?

3) Am I looking at saving much money if I import one myself? I imported my R32 GTST and hated the experience (mainly because i bought a bit of a dud) My R34 GTT I got from perth so had a few hassles with blue slip etc. So i'm opting for buying one from NSW but if there's a huge saving/more choice to be had from importing...

4) Will they hold their value well? I know they're the last of the 'old school' style skylines, so I figure that will act in their favour a bit... Is the price going to drop dramatically if i wait a year or two?

5) Will it be much of an improvement over my R34 GTT? It's the nicest car I've ever driven... with 200rwkw and HKS suspension etc. But i'm hoping a car worth twice the money will be twice as nice. (maybe not twice, but nicer?)

6) How much power would I expect from a stock car? I know they quote 206kw but any dynos to show actual awkw or rwkw?

At the moment i'm budgeting around $60,000 and would love a Bayside Blue one like my GTT, but I won't be purchasing it for 6-12months (buying a house first)

FYI - when I first got mine back in 03 I had a 100% stock R34 GTR dyno'd and it made 177awkw's.

With an exhaust, cam gears, boost upped to 15psi and a power fc that was increased to 255.

If you want the easy way to know if the car is a genuine V Spec if that is what you are looking for / at check the central MFD. The V secs show 7 readings on the multi reading display. The non V Specs show 5 (don't show exhaust or intake temps).

Have fun.
