the skyline gtst is RWD nice try blondie
>>
>>15448384
A bit pricey for a R32 that isn't a GT-R but that's the JAYY DEEE EMM TYTE-tax for you.

Also old and thirsty, and finding parts will suck in Clapistan because these are only just starting to roll in. If you do get it set some cash aside for the ongoing expenses.
>>
It's not a gtr?
>>
>>15448384
>13k USD.

Because they can be had for much cheaper if you import one yourself
>>
>>15448402
Most people would end up with a useless gray market car because they couldn't do it correctly.
>>
>>15448384
Ignore "ITS NOT A GTR WAAA" posts for a start , as>>15448399 said
it is a bit pricey for a turbo skyline , they go for about 5-10k here down under and I'm sure it could be imported or bought from another dealer stateside for a similar price

I don't have proof on me, but I know of a couple of them for sale around me (in Japan) for 4-6K

2K to ship, then whatever taxes there are.
>>
Someone will probably know better than I but wouldn't getting parts for a japan only car in the US be an utter nightmare
>>
>>15448384
GTST is pretty gutless stock desu

Get the GTR it craps all over it

>>15448426
find me one for 4-6k and help me go thru the process and ill pay you 1k.

I'll go visit my friend that sells them on Monday and see what he has. The most recent one I can think of is a 92 GTS4 he had rust repaired and repainted.

I've researched this kind of stuff but never imported a car. I'd talk to you through the process and give you tips etc if you'd like.
http://www.japan-partner.com/Auto/26678/Nissan/SKYLINE/car-for-sale.html
Here's a GTS-T for a little under 6k. This does not include the ~$1500 shipping and the $300 taxes. Those numbers are both generous, and it could easily be less.
>>
>>15448572
This is true. I've only gotten shipping quotes to Savannah GA and it was $1800 for a Skyline
>>
>>15448572
I also know of other importers and brokers aside from japan partner.
Shoot me an email if you're interested in even just talking to me about it.
[email protected] (yes that's a real email)
>>
>>15448579
On the website I linked, they say that shipping to the East coast is only $1100

>Want to buy Galant Vr4 because
>don't know where I'd get spare parts

I guess I would just have to find a auto parts store in Australia/NZ that ships internationally huh?
>>
>>15448588
Idk m8 just going off the company he uses to ship cars to the US for people.
>>
>>15448595
Fuck off we're full.
>>
>>15448595
They were sold in the US at some point.
>>
>>15448608
The VR4 wasn't.
>>
>>15448613
Yes it was
>>
>>15448616
Damn guess I was wrong. I've never seen one in the US so I just assumed it was never sold here.

>>15448616
>The 6th generation Mitsubishi Galant VR4 was also built in very limited numbers and equipped with a number plaque attached to the dash to commemorate its rarity. In fact, there were just 3000 of these Galants imported into North America as 1991 and 1992 models

Also OP, here is a GT-R with the bidding starting at 4k USD. It will go up, but they often stay relatively low. The high prices on japanese classics include a lot of markup.
The catch with this one is that it essentially has a rebuilt title. When you look at the inspection sheet, however, it shows that all the body panels are in good condition, and that there is just a lot of faded paint.
Japanese auction inspections are notoriously strict, and that could be the reason whyit has an R rating.
Any car with even a bondo'd panel can get an R inspection.
>>
>>15448636
That car will sell for 1.6 to 2 million yen (16K to 20K US Dollars)
>>
>>15448616
Not the twin turbo V6 ones.

No shit. Nice goalpost move though.

Nah. These are completed auctions, and the dark red numbers are in USD. This is 2 GTS-Ts and 2 GT-Rs

>>15448384
In Japan you can get a R32 GT-R with transport for that price.

>>15448649

Anyone know of this site? It seems to have a bunch of good listings.

Because it has 50 more HP than a BRZ

You do know that a brz is slower than a toyota sienna right.
>>
>>15450867
the fact that they handle all the paperwork and repair any issues is probably why it costs. Plus ricer tax in the U.S doesnt help matters.

For those that have 6k to blow.

R34 GTR prices have always been high outside of Japan dummy. There were only 12K produced vs like 44K R32 GTRs.

They're like night and day difference in how they drive.

the Subaru Legacy GT wagon with the 2 liter sequential twin turbo, awd, and manual was faster than my GTSt.
