Historic Prices Of R34 R33

[jeffboyracer]

Hello all,

I am interested as to how much R34s and R33s were when they were first released.

i.e How much did it cost to import a brand new r34 gtt in 1999? or a R33 gtst in 1995?

Asking this purely out of curiousity...so all you older members let us know

i'd guess late 30's - mid 40's ???

I read the HPI issue when the R34 GT-t was released, the RRP was $120,000 brand new in 1998, it was built to compete with the BMW M3

In 1998, including 5% GST in Japan, but not on road costs, an R34 GT-t manual 2 coupe new in Japan was $49,729 (at current exchange rates). To import one here would've been closer to $67,000 landed and complied.

The same deal for an R33 in 1995 - $46,967 not including on-roads, and $64,000 landed and complied here.

The first real import I even went in was an R33 S1, built in 1995, imported in 1998, and he paid $40,000 for it. Sounds ludicrous, but when you consider what an '06 model manual V35 coupe would cost to import, let alone a V36, then it starts to make sense.

Just for humour's sake - the same calculations on a 2001 R34 GT-R V Spec II N1 - $101,633 in Japan, $130,000 landed and complied here...

Good example, my tiptronic R34 25GT (not even turbo!!) was $34,000 in early 2002 I remember the pricing on the GTt's at the same place was $55,000 for a tiptronic

Wow! And to think I bought my 98 R34 Gtt for less than $20,000 back in June '08! Not brand new obviously but a MASSIVE difference in price!

I think you'll find $120K was the GT-R, not the GT-t

If my eyes haven't mistaken me it was the GT-t, the GT-t's were released before the GTR, so the HPI issue i was reading covered the brand new release of first GT-t in Aus, and the price tag was 120,000, i kid you not
