This is another animal GTS-T thats just come through on the prestige mailing list.

What a steal wo whoever buys it!

The following vehicle is available through a supplier in Japan for approx. 1,300,000 yen FOB (in negotiation with the owner and still to be confirmed). The total cost in Australia at this price would be approx. $30,700 plus tyres, Govt. stamp duty and registration (normal licensing costs for any vehicle). Shipping, import duties, GST, compliance and our service fee are all included in the estimate. There are likely to be additional costs in compliance and registration due to the level of modifications, which will depend on which State the vehicle is sent to. Customers are encouraged to make their own enquiries in this regard - we can supply contacts in your State

This is a SERIOUS vehicle. Imagine the costs of building this in Australia.

... and what was the point of the above post?

Do you really think a car like that would NOT have been trashed? It's got a roll cage for crying out loud. Racing seats.

EDIT: Btw I'm not saying that it isn't a nice car and for that price it would stll be cheaper to buy it and do some serious repairs, rather then build one up from scratch.

You might say that all of these cars are thrashed.

You would think that a modded GTS or GTR would be driven gently by an old Japanese doctor's wife?

You get mods for cheap - I expect that any of these imports are driven hard. That's the gamble.

Buy a stock one but then again, you pay for mods in AUD...

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
