Cost Of R34 Sedan,

[Cheesecaek]

Hey guys,

I'm a new user to the forums. I was looking to purchase a Skyline R34 4 door sedan, prefferably manual.

I was wondering if anyone knew roughly what the price range would be and what would best be the way of getting one,

Cheers.

i purchased my R34 2 door manual for $7400 in Japan, with aftermarket rims so the 4 door should be a bit cheaper. after that its all the expenses in shipping and compliance..

Hope this helps out

So how much did you pay altogether to get it on the road?

So about $13k - $15k landed and complied, give or take?

4 Doors will be a little bit cheaper. I would have a look at J-Spec Imports Auction Sale History so you can sort of put it all into perspective.

And GT-V is NA with turbo stuff, ie brakes and other bits and bobs.

Dropped down a lot eh? good if you want a sedan like i do, not so good if your trying to sell! ive listed my email address with J-spec imports, just waiting to hear back from them, bank wants too lend me the $ to get a 34 sedan but wont give it too me unless i provide them with an invoice or receipt or something that proves im gunna use the $ to buy a car!

GT -> Basic 2L

GT25 -> Same as GT, but with 2.5L engine.

GT-Four -> Same as GT25, but with AWD

GT-x -> Same as a GT25. Equivalent to a premium model equipment wise, ie. factory privacy glass, double din "premium sound", xenon headlights, front strut brace, optional LSD, optional GTt wheels.

GTt -> turbo model of a GT25, with big brakes, HICAS, LSD

GTt-x -> turbo model of a GT-x, with big brakes, HICAS, LSD

GTv -> Same as GT25, but with big brakes, HICAS, LSD

Steve - do not loan money For an import, ever...

At least not through a bank...

Talk to either kristian from iron chef, or Ben from j-spec they may know a broker with whom they deal with on repeat referral etc.

However a bank needs to loan money AGAINST something, ie: something they can take if you default on your payments,

For instance

Car loan = car. No payment? Seize car.

Home loan = house. No payment? Seize house.

Bank will not provide a car loan for a car that is in Japan that they cannot seize.

[Mr Eps]

Basically all a bank can generally offer is a higher interest rate unsecured personal loan, however that been said, save as hard as you can..

Less money lent, is less interest you pay... When importing a ER34 they aren't expensive so saving should be a bit of a cakewalk really..

Don't be afraid to shop around and use a broker you can trust

Ironchefimports

Importmonster

Jspec

Direct imported (hopefully he's not still angry with me)

Are just to name a few - they're all very capable .. Hardworking and willing

But yeah, generally speaking, a bank will not "give you" a car loan on a car they cannot seize - unless of course... youre willing to pay credit card interest on a 10 grand loan
