$50k for a 32 GTR wow. if they are asking that much it must be a good one :P. Can't go wrong with a V SpecII

16,000 km's and it's pretty much showroom condition still. Not too many V-SpecII's getting around either. It's a nice one for sure.

Not too good a buy imo.

The logical buyer is a car collector, as buying it and using it even for a short trip turns it into just another Nur ..

Who has a car collection for just display in australia (or anywhere outside Japan) where this would be a logical fit?

I doubt anyone..

That mint z-tune from a year or two ago - now, maybe..

PS: I got my car from zele. Great car although their photographer probably worked for playboy s/he is good at

making their stock look better than perfect - whereas in the flesh there are stretch marks, wrinkles and age lines!

(not the case with this example tho).

Yep this car is a "new" car. I'm quite good friends with the president of Zele and I went to Yokohama to check this car out the other day. It's only got delivery KM's on it, it's the real deal. Never seen a 34 as perfect looking. It sits in an air conditioned office 24x7 tucked behind a McLaren SLR.

It has 6.5 million yen on it if you're interested. Not really that negotiable though as the right buyer will pay that when he sees it.

6.5 mil is a very good buy imo. If only our dollar was back at the historic highs, I would've considered buying it.

Just curious, how does this work? assume the dollar was back at 100 yen to the dollar..

so you buy this one instead of a mint Nur with 20,000 kms for 4.5 million ..

ok, then what?

in a year, you'll have lost 2 million yen, unless you just want to put it in your living room on blocks?

Is it worth spending $20k to show a dozen people your odo for 12 months?

I would buy the car purely as an investment, and yep, god forbid, keep it in storage. Mind you I would still have my current car to keep me smiling.

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      By PLYNX · Posted

      And at over $2 per litre I'm starting to consider setting up a corn mash still and converting over to alcohol and running mine on it !  Up side of that is it all doesn't have to go into the car ! Win win !

      H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.

      R34 "maintenance reminder lights" and mysterious voice

      This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.

      Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.
