'02 R34 Gtr V Spec 2 Nur

[GTRRKT]

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for a white 2002 R34 GTR V Spec II Nur. Struggling to find one in Aus at the moment.

Found one on carsales for $75K with no service books and I have also heard some negative things about the car.

Anyone know of one of these monsters for sale? I don't really want to import and end up like thousands of others who have been scammed but it may be the best way to get a nur since they are fairly rare.

Any other info such as phone number for a fantastic import broker etc would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

Thousands of others who have been scammed? How did you come to this.

going by the stories not just on this site but on the net. cars not turning up, money being take, cars that are full of rust underneath, different car to the picture etc.

most of the people who have had trouble importing cars are guys who have purchased cars from an overseas exporter sight unseen without any help to guide them. generally (not always though) if you have a broker they can help guard against that as they have relationships with exporters and others in japan who can physically inspect cars for you and find out the truth. that's the important part.

you are right to be cautious but for something like a nur importing is the best way to go for sure.

Yes, you are right, there are so many traps in importing cars that I have crop plenty of it as a horby importer in the early days.

You have got a PM

cheers

Unless you know somebody who can do all the stuff in Japan and Australia , get in touch with one of the import brokers on here, eg Iron Chef etc. I was lucky, got an R34 N1 . Paid some money, it got here , paid some money and it was mine, easy and no headaches with all the paperwork .

go with a rep broker. if i were in your shoes spending that much for a import car i would take a trip to japan myself and seek one out and get it sorted.

To be brutally honest, Nurs are a bit over-rated. I know from first hand experience!

The M Spec Nurs are better in that you get a leather interior.

What's a horby importer?? :S

Beer Baron is on the money, as always...

[Mr Eps]

^^^ to further demonstrate this, i have attached an image which cleverly portrays, JUST HOW much beer baron is on the money as always..

as can be seen here, we see Scrooge McDuck, sitting on top of a pile of money.

Much the same as BeerBaron, who is also spot on the money..

the difference however, is METAPHORICALLY speaking, Beerbaron is on the money, as in he raises a very persuasive and correct arguement. whereas, scrooge mcduck, is literally ON the MONEY. and is physically, as per demonstration above.

...so. who's got some blow?

I care more about the cf naca hood on the vpsec ii nur then some crummy leather seats and soft suspension woooo :D

very true...and I also wnat to have all the N1 extras under the hood

tbh your better off buying a non v spec GT-R with a few aftermarket parts, than you are a vspec or nur

they dont really offer anything over stock that you wouldnt change anyway

[Iron Chef]

In terms of outright performance for sure, but for rarity/resale etc etc, Nurs hold their value a lot better than base models do. Depends on what you're after really, I think I got the best of both worlds with mine haha

PS Matt, finally getting around to fitting those ricey tail lights today!

[vspecIInur]

Exactly what Kristian said. You can never complain about having a 34R N1 which basically yields a 6 digit value

[Beer Baron]

yes don't buy a nur expecting a rocket ship but they do have some nice gear on them and as people pointed out their resale is rock solid. considering a nur in aus will fetch between $80 and $90K depending on condition and a standard 99 GTR will fetch $45-$55K and you get the idea. The carbon bonnet is very, very nice (but not really any lighter than the alloy stock ones), the other little bits are nice and the N1 engine is nice but they are still a pretty pedestrian car in standard form. any standard GTR has far more handling and grip than it does power so they are a bit underwhelming stock. but as little as a boost increase, ecu change/tune, exhaust and you suddenly have 230kw (or more) at the wheels and they sound better and suddenly feel like a sports car.

true the whole point of a GTR is its potential, given it's age now a stock STI or Evo will at least keep up and probably surpass any stock R34 variant on the track. Put some mods in though and especially when you're wanting 400hp+ then the GTR does it far easier.

The different variants are worth it in my opinion. Even something as small as a standard GTR vs Vspec why bother saving $5k with a standard GTR when the vspec has better aero, LSD, attessa and engine sensors.

okay do this as an experiment tomorrow - go up to a friend of yours n say

"i just bought an R34 GTR Nur spec edition"

then go to another friend, and tell this freind:

"I just bought an R34 GTR"

try it..

...see which one feels better to say

Edit: make sure that friend really knows their cars first - a female with no car knowledge will usually respond with "Oh that's nice" for most cars other than a Lambo or Ferrari...
