My Import Experience - R34 Vspec Gtr - Top Secret Imports!

[GT-R LM]

I am Sorry Peopel ... What I ment by Decent price is around the acceptable range comparing to a same age Ferrari I surpose ...

I am still trying to see what's available out there ... as I have not yet seen any of the Z Tune out for grabs so just asking if anyone saw it?

So ... From the sound of it Iron Chef would be able to source for one under half a Mil ... ^_^

KR4GTR, Thanks for the advise ... like I said I am still in the stage of looking around ... I have waited for years before I can actually say I finally got the Cash sitting in my bank to find the right car since Midnight last night ... Yeah! All my hard work for the past Few years had FINALLY Paid off!

Let us know if you found anything Decent out there ... as I will be buying one to keep forever, I would really like to get a Z Tune there seems to be none around! My second choice is to get one of the V Spec 2 Nur.

I know that Iron Chef (I think Kristian as I was told by my frends) has been busy with all these Import business too is on this Topic, Maybe he can also throwin some suggessions ^_^

I wish everyone on this Topic a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Mate you have to choose how much you want to spend first.

Vspec 2 nur is under a quarter of what a Ztune would cost, you would be able to buy a second hand 360 Fezza and a nur for Ztune money, I would still pic the Z-tune though.

Your choices of cars are a world apart in price and performance.

[Huy]

Don't see many Z-tunes around because they only made 20.

[KR4-GTR]

Had a quick look and I cant see any ztunes which are set to go through auction anytime soon, but as Huy mentioned - there are only a few of them floating around so you'll need to pay the premium.

I did however find these two nurs which are ready to send over, they might interest you. Remember on top of these prices you've still got the regular import / compliance / rego / maintenance costs - etc.

That 2nd one seems a bit cheap, but then again it's got a few more kms i guess.

[Huy]

The guy who got me my Nur is in Japan at the moment looking at some cars. He showed me a few Nur's which were still quite pricey. One that stood out was a black Vspec II Nur with just over 5000km on the clock!

[Iron Chef]

lol if someone wants to pay half a mil for a Z-Tune, believe me I will make it happen

I think the high prices being reached by low km Nurs at auction has raised the eyebrows of a few people, so there have been some mint ones going through lately.

Having said that, the end of the year is always a good time to snaffle some bargains - Andrew give me a buzz if you're in the market now. Maybe if your pockets are deep enough, you could buy a V-Spec II N1, they're rarer than Z-Tunes anyway

Hey KR4-GTR,

Found something from Top-Secret if you fancy, but it's a R33 ... ^_^

http://cars.ebay.com.au/1997-Nissan-Skylin...emZ250446291118

Thanks for the previous 2 websites as I already checked them out ... to be Honest, there is one in Sydney which is also around slightly more then getting those 2 imported and complied as shown below:

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...id=11EFBDFD5780

Kristian, Thanks for the offer ... I believe owning a Z tune is a DREAM of Most Skyline Owners ... (Ps I am also unfortunately one of them)

Therefore I am looking more towards a Nur instead, I saw one in Bayside Blue in Adelaide, Does it belong to you?

As I am currently Looking around for a Bargain, therefore I will be looking getting one possible lower than a Decent price for a Nur ... If you got any that you felt it More than Value for Money, Please let me know as I am happy to wait as I have no rush looking for my Dream, Ps ... The longer it takes, the longer I have time to Save ... Hopefully getting my own Z Tune ^_^ otherwise snap up a Nur at a Bargain price.

Christ Oh M.

If your looking for a bargain, check out the average condition 99 model vspec at e&m motors for only $70k!

I was driving past today, curiosity got the better of me and i couldnt help but pop in to see how much more the exterior has deteriorated from taking the aussie weather 24/7.

Its been sitting outside for over a year and they are still not negotiable on the price. But wait theres more! Only 37000k's and log books to prove it (although when i asked to see the books - they couldnt provide, suprise suprise.)

Theres nothing i hate more than pressure, a very unnecessary sense of urgency and car sales men that wont shut the f**k up and leave you alone while browsing!

LOL ...

That's what Car Salesman does ... to make you wanna buy the car ...

KR4-GTR

I had seen a few bargains here and there but I am looking at getting a Nur for that Price ... or even lower ... ^_^

Although I must say it's a nice colour ... but I still prefer Bayside Blue

By the way I saw a Bayside Blue Vspec 2 Nur with no. plates CC625P from SA.

Anyone know the Owner?

Keep shopping around and im sure you'll find the car which is right for you

By the way, incase you didnt already know / just to clarify - that 33 GTR you showed me is from top secret performance in japan - however, they are actually a seperate company to 'top secret imports' - which is an australian based company specialising in bringing cars over from japan.

Go to http://www.topsecretimports.com.au for more info or to see their current stock list. If you want a vspec II or a Nur - that would be a special order.

Give Garry a call and he will look after you, his number is on their site.

Hey Chris, any idea how much longer until you get your car?

Edited December 7, 2009 by c-gtst

[KR4-GTR]

Not sure yet mate, but im sure Garrys on to it and as soon as something pops up he'll let me know Will keep the thread updated!

Pics attached as requested -

thats cool.. when im like 40 something, paid off my house and hopefully have a shit load of cash. your the man im gona come to. i think a z tune and an N1 would be sitting pretty nice in my house

though, how rare are R32 n1's and R33 n1's?

[Iron Chef]

Not quite as rare as the 34s but still very rare - 228 R32 N1s built and somewhere around 98 R33 N1s built.

[N/A®]

Our uncle - wife side - owns the last of the Nur Spec II in the green. Over 60 years old, hardly ever drives it and probably looking to sell it soon. If anyone here is seriously interested in an immaculate, low kms one, please let me know. I am sure he is going to change again - before this, he had the original Vspec in bayside blue.

[suprasearchin]

Fantastic thread. Some great reading and advice all in the one place.

I will be heading back to top secret imports to have a second look at a few cars within the next few days.

How often do you see R32 N1s Kristian? Eventually when i'm in the market for a 32 GT-R, i'll be looking for an N1 (or V-Spec II)
