Awright /o/, so the early R32 Skylines are bein imported, and eventually the newer R33 and R34's will be legal for import as well.
Are there any of ya who are plotting to get your own R34? What trim are you looking to get?
Are there any out there who have owned/driven R34's?
Also Skyline/R34 thread!
>>15076478
Can't wait for retarded americlaps to ruin the market for yet another Jap import!
You guys are fucking cancer, you completely fucked the prices for R32s already, go buy your shitty pickups and fuck off.
Canadian here
Overhyped shit, they lose their charm pretty quickly
>>15076478
I'd love one but I know people are going to be asking absurd amounts of money
You are basically getting a 2nd hand car that so old you are getting cucked by every Japanese owner before you.
Go march on Washington to get some human rights instead of obeying such 3rd world laws.
>>15076562
Yeah, prices'll suck for good examples. But I'd still bust ass to save up for one, I think. Maybe for an ER34 25GT-t coupe. I dunn need an lcd display or AWD.
Also on a random note, i kinda wanna see an STi/Evo-type wing on a BNR34. But that's more the frankenstein doctor in me.
>>15076581
Hey dude, some /pol/ fell outta your pocket.
I'll buy one and flip it to some weeaboo faggot at an inflated price.

nice red-dit meme buzzword kiddo
just fresh out of the summer right?
Have a Japanese friend who's willing to keep one at his house in japan so i can get one right now for cheap and just keep it at his house for 8 years and then import.
>>15076562
This.
Expect 40k if you're lucky here in australia, more realistically 60, then another 20 grand on repairs because you KNOW it's been thrashed.
Awesome cars, but just be prepared.
>wanting a car just because it was in a meme anime
Back on the rocks
40k for a 34 in Aus? more like 60k for a trashed one and 80k for straight
and those prices will probably double as soon as they hit the US, I already know workshops and wreckers here in Aus are already buying up 33/34 parts and RB26s for when the Americans can get them so the prices should already be going up...
>>15076917
Americans are fucking scum, completely ruining the import market.
Wish you fuckers had a 50 year import rule instead.
>>15076922
I don't think it would be as bad if there was no import laws, they wouldn't get hyped up as much

will become collectors items forever, would be nice to snag one if you had the cash with low miles and drive it every now and then, sell it before you retire and go buy something even better because itll be worth a million by then
these are import icons, everyone wants one whos into imports
>>15076965
It's not going to outstrip ferraris and porsches but it will take a similar trajectory. R34 GTR specifically.
Z-Tunes are already silly money and they will climb steadily but it's all factored in already.
Basically they aren't gonna become collectors items, they already are.

>>15076478
The vast majority of "R32 Skylines" were shitboxes with 90hp - 125hp. Importers will scam weaboo Americans by throwing a wing and a "GT-R" badge on a 125hp shitbox. And some people will intentionally import 125hp Skylines and throw on a wing and a "GT-R" badge on it themselves.
Even if you do get the proper 275hp GT-R version, 275hp is not as impressive today as it was 25-30 years ago.
I already have an R32 ordered for 80k and I'm going to stance it because I'm not a poor busrider like everyone else IT
Just checked the prices on these, similar to to Impreza 22Bs and Integrale Evos. Would be hard to pick just one of those 3.
Makes E30 M3s look distinctly overpriced tbqh.
>>15077037
>80k

Nigga I know you're trolling but at least do your research.
>>15076990
I......i saw an er34 sedan ls1 drift swap.....and i really liked it. It sounded horrifyingly perfect.
I find it fucking hilarious how classic Japanese cars are appreciating in value like crazy. Meanwhile all European and American ''enthusiasts'' always thought they were garbage.
>>15076942
>Implying a backdoor financial agreement wasn't part of the reason Congress pushed it through
I guarantee GM also has a part in this
>>15077031
I was gonna call bullshit, but i looked it up, and there's legit an R32 sedan called the GX-i, with a CA18 4-cylinder that put out goddamn 92 hp.
But, it only came in sedan, so unless you can hide those back doors somehow, I dunno how yer gonna pass it off as a GT-R.

Its just supply and command.
>>15077031
The thing is, the GTR actually made like 320. They under-reported the fuck out of it.
But that's nothing these days, you're right. The thing is, the rb26 was a group A engine, detuned for the street.
Once modified, you can easily be pushing anywhere from 500-800hp reliably.
Just remember to fork out extra for the oil sump upgrade and better pumps. They are the first mods you want to do.
>>15077085
The GTR's are already nearing 100k for some good examples.
And the maintenance on them is that of a supercar, for any prospective buyer.
Expect expensive parts, but also expect the car to be thrashed to shit. It's going to have been run hard.
That's ok, but you'll need to be prepared for 10 or more years of back maintenance.
>buy GT-T
>RB34 swap
>GTR bodykit
no one will know its a GT-T
>>15077104
If you lived in the Nippon that might be a pretty sweet deal if you didn't want AWD and just swapped the engine.
>>15077123
The fuck's an RB34? Some crazy frankenengine that the strayan's cooked up?
>>15076499
>yuropoors are literally so poor they cant handle americans importing a vehicle and raising its price slightly
How long was the bread line this week?
>>15077128
Sounds like a stroked RB30DET from a VL Commo
>>15077112
Agreed. The GTR is an awesome car which can still go toe to toe with modern supercars once you spend about 60 grand extra on it....but just be prepared for the headache of shit breaking due to age.
Have double what you paid, set aside for a rainy day. You might get lucky and not need to get new parts, but most likely you will.
>>15077125
The entire reason it's good is AWD, paired with the rb26.
It's superb at putting the power down, due to it's RWD bias, but can do a split depending on what's needed when.
>>15077128
>he doesnt know about the torque monster

>>15077112
I genuinely wouldn't care about the price tag of the maintenence. If I was buying a BNR34 GT-R in any condition, I'm gonna be having a list of things I'm gonna be upgrading for better running reliability anyway.
>>15077128
I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere out there there's an RB that's been bored out to 3.4 litres. Prolly for drag racing. And most likely australians, who are insane in the best ways.
>>15077133
>slightly
You retarded fucks literally DOUBLED the price for R32s over the last year.
Stick to your shitty cantturn garbage and leave good cars alone, americuck.
>>15077141
It's an RB30
http://www.spoolimports.com/articles-1/how-to-build-an-rb34
>>15077141
Oh i agree. I own a 33 GTR and he's right, you have to be prepared.
It's not that parts break because they're shit, it's because they've been thrashed for 20 years or so. They will need replacing.
After that, it's fucking amazing and i cannot recommend the car more. I will be purchasing both a 32 and 34 in the next few months.
And yes, get in quick now, because the price will only go up.
I can answer questions if people are curious what it's like to drive one that's been seriously worked.
>>15077136
Im thinking that it'd be more for those crazy Japanese drift events, like how they use GT-T's instead of GT-R's.
>>15077156
Yea, would be good for that. The GTR is just a pure race car, for track or demolishing people in the straight line.
But incase some people did not know, you can turn off AWD and make it RWD only.
>>15077162
That was only in one of the models, I think. The fuse trick doesn't work on the other two.
>>15076478
I can get one for 20k, should I?
>>15077176
Yes. But you won't end up paying 20k in the end ;)
Go read the SAU forums, NO-ONE gets off without having to pay extra after to get it in good nick.
If you look up north, they're quite a bit cheaper, and you get the added bonus of driving it back home through the rockies.
>>15077154
Define "seriously worked".
Was it comfortable to drive regularly?
I know some GT-R owners fall for the MORE POWAHHHHHHHHH bug; is it that easy to get hooked on more power with a GT-R?
>>15077187
I def plan on looking to Canada for any good samples of an R34 when it comes time to try and get one. If not, I'm sure there'll be more major importers spread across the States by the time the R34 becomes legal.
>>15077220
Dont go to Quebec. The ones in Ontario seem fine, and the best ones are way out west. But les ciel-lignes in Quebec seem to be all completely fucked, despite the strange abundance.
>>15077237
Funny enough, I refused to pay a speeding ticket i got on my last visit, and last i heard I believe i got a letter saying that i was not allowed to drive in the country/possibly arrested in the entire province of Quebec.
I'm not a huge fan of the french anyways.
>>15076990
No?
>>15077220
It has two tunes.
One is like 360kw at all 4 wheels, that's my street tune. Very responsive.
The other one is around 550kw, for when im racing.
It's very easy to get hooked on power, but i have a weird combination of a custom manifold and one highmount turbo, plus a 2nd very responsive low mount turbo for quickly spooling up.
It's a very complex system, but the tl:dr is the entire thing feels very responsive, despite having massive top end.
If you fork out the money like me, you can have your cake and eat it too. Requires a hell of a lot of dyno time though, as well as other bits and bobs.
On my street tune, it's very comfortable to street...but you have to just keep in mind the moment you hit that throttle hard, you are going to break the speed limit.
>>15077338
Yeah, I don't plan on trying to hit higher numbers than 400hp at most; I doubt I'd track the GT-R, and try and drive it regularly as well. I'd just be looking to modify problem areas for endurance and reliability, rather than all out performance.
>>15077363
You'll get great responsiveness with 400hp and yes, it's a really enjoyable car.
Get a series 3 gearbox, the oil sump and pump and go over the car with a fine tooth comb before buying.
>tfw when every car you ever wanted is going to become too expensive to own
just kill me now.
>>15077338

If they're so expensive why not just Import them yourself, or do you have cuck laws?
http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/nissan/Skyline+gt-r/
I'm not going to get one, because Americans are fucking stupid and payed ridiculous amounts of money for what is just a kind of cool car in Japan. Now the prices will forever be ruined and only king douches will own these cars, as genuine elderly enthusiasts won't be looking to buy what was simply a middle class sports car when it came out.
>>15082506

Ameribubblers are fucking retarded, they'll ruin the prices of GTS-Ts as well.

>>15076608
buying these is the same as getting a base model BMW and saying its an M3/M5. i would just spend my money on something else, i laugh at everyone who imported a GTS-T to america
Bought a 95 r33 gtr with ~80k km for something like 4k usd in japan at an auction kinda thing in 2014. Nothing wrong at all. Did some sketchy shit, went over there to arrange the export and welded vin plates for a wrecked 93 r32 gtr on it. it's getting painted dark purple rn while the motor is being built. Will post pics in a couple weeks.

Ok so that's in your weird ass Krone.. that's $5-$6k USD. About right I guess. Pretty much about what the Japan market is right now for USA legal cars.
>>15085685
Wait, you guys in Norway can legally drive those things on the road? Here in Latvia we can't. They will never be street legal, unless you can convert it to left hand drive.
Save 5000 dollars a year and you'll have enough to import a nice r34 when its legal. Maybe enough to go to Japan/nz/aus and pick it yourself
No pity for the poorfags who can't save a messily 5k a year
