Any Importers Here Recognize This Gt-R?

[GTR-N1]

If the yellow one has genuine Kms, zero rust and with Jap history, I'd go for the yellow one.

Can you comp test and leak down test it?

[DN1097]

i suspect it would only be for serious buyers who put down a deposit.

also, i am not sure when this car was deregistered in japan. from what little i know it has spent time in the united states, another thing that scares me is that it might originally have been a motorex car, which raises questions as to its importation status. the seller claims it's legal and registered in canada however.

we are on national holiday here in canada. everyone is closed. i'm going to be left with more questions than answers for the meantime.

i am also hoping for a test drive. i've never been in an r34 before, only r32's. if it ends up being slower than what i have now serious man tears are going to be shed.

Depending what you are after obviously. Modified, unmodified or lightly modified.

Personally I would choose the first one. It appears to me to be more honest than the following 2.

However, if your looking for speed then heck yes buy one that's been modified (PROPERLY with paperwork by a reputable performance garage)

just had a wake up call after seeing this ad in craigslist:

which one costs too much, and which one costs too little?

[r32-25t]

There were less r34s built then there are 35s, also the r34 was the end of an era (the inline 6)

[DN1097]

so you are saying that is like comparing a porsche 993 to a 996...yeah i think i get it.

[mickey]

yeah depends what you're after...the R35 will be significantly faster than the R34 especially after supporting mods.

The R34 will be a classic like the R32 and the KPGC10, but perhaps not for another 10 years.

[DN1097]

yes. end of an era. last of the inline-sixes.

[torquetalker]

Entirely depends on if you want a car with a soul...

i met the owner of this GT-R last week:

he told me he knew of the GTR i originally asked about above. the car is being sold on consignment, hence the markup and quite possibly why i have not seen it at their lot because the owner is driving it... oh well.

the owner of this car did quite well for himself. he spent a long time finding this one. it is a grade 4 car with B interior. i am not certain why it has a B rating because the interior was mint and had not been smoked in, but there was a lot of aftermarket electronics like a boost controller, defi gauges, navi and a tein edfc that were not well/permanently installed, which could be the reason why, but he has since sorted it out. he bought it himself at a tokyo auction house (i can't remember the name) before it was 15 years old (as per canada import laws), but had brave auto international to store it until it was and it was shipped by container to canada, and here it is now. he paid almost half of what the one i was looking at was asking for. sigh.
