so please tell me what u guys think! Cheers

hard to tell you anything about it mate. Just remember if you're barely scraping the money for it then you can't afford it. Anyone can buy a GTR - maintaining it is another matter. In the first year its easy to spend as much as the initial cost in just getting it on the road and maintainence. It will have been driven hard. (its a GTR!)

Also with importing its mostly guess work because they can only tell you so much about the car - personal experience.

You shouldnt really be paying more then $16,000 for a GTR x Japan (Unless its a Nismo). A $17400 GTR will be $20k on the road registered with compliance and there are plenty of GTRs available in OZ in that condition for that price. Last GTR I sold I only got $17400 for it and that was complianced. GTRs are a hard sell at the moment.

They are usually never as good as they look in the Pictures

Hey mate, i went trough Geoff at prestige, i bought a Black 32 GTS4-t which was said to be Grade 4.0 and no rust,.... yea it came with rust.. so just becarful, plus good luck on the Import Aproval, i have heard that the 15 year rule has gone... so you will be up for about $4000 for compliance

Good Luck mate!

Hello mate,

As the other guys have already mentioned, buying the car is only half the expense. Seriously. Read that first sentence again. Please. Your wallet will NEVER be the same. Budget for an engine rebuild, plus insurance and a major service.

I was naive enough to think that these cars are just like buying an old Corolla - petrol in and go!....

Anyways, the blue GTR seems like a nice car. Remember that Skyline smashes are usually major. My car is http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/au/st...sp?StockID=2310 and has had a front end, a rear corner and probably a drivers side hit too.

For your Y990,000, first consider a car like http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m21373449

It's cheaper and probably nicer. If you can find an R32 RAWS then you're in for the same expense with a nicer/newer car at the end.

And your Y1,000,000 could also buy http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m21846841 complete with the neat paint and BNR34 wheels.

So, please don't rush in. Take your time. Talk to a few guys that have bought old GTR's and ask yourself if you could find another $6,000 for an engine rebuild or rust/accident repair and paint.

I'm not a naysayer dude, I LOVE my car, but an informed buyer is a smart buyer. If you know you can afford the car, you won't be pissed off driving it (worrying about expenses).

Cheers bud, good luck with your purchase!

very wise advice above dude. my car has cost me as much as a mates who payed 6 grand more in the first place. His is on the road, and mine still hasnt passed the pits.( was too low, too loud, tint too dark, chassis rail slightly squished...)

Take your time, and dont fall in love, be harsh, its all money to sort out.

cheers for all the advice guys. i decided against it. better to get a bigger wallet! ive got a few mates that have sports cars. 1 with a 33 gtst. thanks to him lettin me drive it while he wasnt licensed thats where i fell in love with skylines. im determined to get my 32gtr but im thinkin it would be better to get a local so i can take it for a spin b4 the time to hand over the cash rocks up.

cheers again!
