If your buying a 34 - few rules to follow:

1. Dont buy a 1999 - go for the 2000/2001
2. Dont buy a non vspec - make sure you get a v spec/v specII
3. Buy it near standard
4. Factory Log books
4. Dont buy at auction - buy private (I did this - had someone go around and physically look at cars and take photos - email me)

If you want a QUALITY R34 GTR that meets all of the above - you will need to spend minimum 4.5million Yen (and if you want a immaculate like new very low km one execept to pay 5.5mil yen +) just for the car. Sure you can buy alot cheaper GTR's - but the saying "you get what you pay for" definately rings true for these weapons.

Ive had my 2001 V Spec II on the road for a couple weeks now - and every time I sit in it and drive it - my hands get sweaty and my heart races - its amazing.

4.5-5.5mill yen, whats that in AUD? Ballpark?

5mill yen is around 60k depending on exchange.

If you are importing you need to add FOB, Tax, Compliance, Shipping, Stamp duty, licencing, etc - so budget around another 20Kish - so at 5 mill car price - expect to cost you total 85ish plus by the time its on the road.

As I said it can be done for alot less (also alot more) - but car would be average.

Number one rule....

....There's no such thing as a cheap GTR

agree, as long as is GTR it wont be cheap, but it's worth it..

id buy it... ahah

Australian import duty and gst alone would be over $12,000 for a 5mill yen car.
Adds up very quickly - my budget just doesnt allow $85k for a car.

i guess what he is trying to say then, is to not buy a gtr34 if the budget doesn't allow
