if your are getting an 15 years old car ... i am sure it will be smart enough to budget some extra$$$ for builing it up, i am sure we are NOT going to leave the car STOCK... To those 21 KID,,,, if you can't afford to FIX the car then don't get it or you will just bring yourself into trouble. Always prepare a few thousand for something unepected come out but then again when it come out, get a better after market part for it.

in 1990 there was a specification change to the GTR, and in 1991 model got a better ECU. But even forgoing that, would you rather buy a 15 yr old car from japan or a 16yr old car from australia. Also when you've bought a 1989 GTR and then spent some money on bringing it to a good quality car, would you sell it for below the cost you bought it for? Because you'll have to put it up for sale in a market where people can readily buy 1989 GTRs and 1990 GTR's straight from japan. Aftermarket parts have very minimal effect on the price of a car you'll notice. If you spent 15k on a car after you buy it, you'd be lucky to get that back when u sell the car.

I was looking for an R32 GTR to bring in under the SEVS scheme but couldn't afford it back then. I then waited for the RAWS scheme and was going to get it complianced. Just happened that I found a nice condition 89 model and decided it was just what I was looking for(I had been looking for over 8 months now and the number one requirement was it had to be black and good condition).

Car is coming in February and I figure when I sell it, I'll treat it like a new car with a huge depreciaction. Doesn't hurt so much if you think of it that way! :D

But the bottom line is, I paid close to a 91 model in price to get a good condition one (and remember, I've been looking for a while in all the normal places).
