plus that's the price you would have paid for one in tokyo in $AU. not in australia.

i would think a new nissan murano (for example) costs more here in $AU than the same model in japan. see what i'm saying?

edit: what ^^ he ^^ said :)

Thanks for the response guys - appreciate it!

I did some asking around, and it seems R33's were around $45,000 AUD plus import fees when they first came out...

By the way, the true and factual name for for all skylines are WR33 - fact. Not just R33 as we know it now... it has just been abbreviated.

There was never any W in the R33 model code. There where ECR33, BCNR33, HR33 & ER33 depending on wether they where turbo, four door, two door, two wheel drive or four wheel drive. Follow the link earlier in this post and you will see them.

Hi guys, my apologies, you are right... I did a typo... HR33 - for turbo... got mixed up with WR instead.... edit to that.

R33 GTS-T $48990 drive away :) .

A few years ago I can remember when i saw a R34 GTT going for $45000 in a second hand car yard.

So new they were probly around the $50000 mark.

I have an early (1999) issue of high performance imports magazine which has an article on one of the first R34 GTTs in Australia. It was brand new at the time (less than 100kms) and the importer in Queenlands was asking $90,000 for it. (GTRs then were over $150k)

The article argues that the GTT is a direct competitor for BMW E36 M3 which at that time retails for $140000 in Australia. So it is a very reasonable price for an unique high performance import.

tell 'im he's dreamin'...

when they released the R34GTT in NZ it was $60,000 NZ at the NIssan dealers, at the time the exchange rate was crap so it would have been about $50,000 AU then add on luxury tax etc.

Brand new R34 GTRs were $120,000 NZ from the dealer as well, a pretty good deal compared to what was being charged for 2nd hand ones here at the time $150,000 Au +++.

^^^ Right, so when you take into exchange rate at the time, competitors prices and japanese prices AND what people would be prepared to pay for such a car at the time, Nissan AU would probably charge a tad under $60,000 when new. It wouldv've come in for about $63 - 65,000 drive away depending on what the dealer could get away with.

Thanks for the responses guys, I guess lets say $45k when new for turbo r33 gst-t would be fair?

I love skylines, especially the r33's with a nice kit that is...
