hang on...you were buying only to import it then sell it to make money....you ask an online forum *after* you pay for it what it would be worth....and then you say its bullsh1t that $500 isn't refundable?

who said i was going to sell it straight away.. i would be selling it about a year later...

why is everyine saying im in it to make a bit of money..

I said my main goal was to not loose any money when I sell it.. It says it up there in the 1st post.............................So i dont know why every1 is going on abou tthat 4.

Selling a car is a prick, and every ass wants to "get a deal" and pay less than its worth.

Selling a car is prick.

The beauty, however, is that cars always sell for what they're worth, that's what they're worth to the buyer not the seller, and that's the way it will always be.

I'd say most owners are far too attached to their car to be objective. At the end of the day it's 15+ year old out of date car that's not getting any newer, to expect to get near 27k for it down the line is wishful thinking.

Ask yourself, would you pay around 27k for what will going on a 17 year old thrashed out piece of claptrap in 2005/6? You'd have to be nuts.

89 sell for 400-700k yen +fob

modifed ones are cheaper

so that orks out to about 15k on the road

so its not a wish... there is one sitting im my garadge

not 89 are selling for more now because of demand pushing bu price up to about 800k yen

i know of at least 6 other 89 gtr bought for a similar price

for the cars i have seen a 800k one would be very tidy with some tasty mods

even the 600k one are very nice

400k will have some rust(generally at the rear of the doors or whee they have been hit(all of them have been hit)

and im sure all the engine are pretty tired but its getting cheap to rebuild gtr motors

    • My purchase experience was no where near as glorious as yours but still a significant moment in my life! Yeah that's a bit of a dilemma as to whether you bring it back or not!  Obviously a massive waste of time and effort to bring it back if you're only going to move there anyway!
    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.
