Think I can afford a R34?

Hi I am buying a new car and I am spending around 40$ think I can afford a r34 and if not what you think I can get, cause I want a skyline so bad they are my dream! :dogpile:

Since you're posting on the USA section, I assume you want one here. Yes, for 40 dollars you can get an used diecast model, new ones cost more.

If that was a typo and you're looking to spend $40k for a real car, the answer is no, you won't find a driveable R34 for that kind of money. If that's what you're going to spend, it would be a R32 GT-R.

dont r32's go for like 30k? i mean its a nice car but 1992 r32 for 30k cmon , for that kinda price it best be modified and in tip top condition, im talkin showroom floor material here modafuka

You'd expect to pay $30k+ for a stock R32 GT-R so if you're going to spend only $40k that's what you'd be looking at.

I'm not sure I follow you. R32 GT-R comes with a RB26DETT. The extra -10k is for taxes, repairs and modifications.

I have more of a clue of what he is saying, than what "know" is, it is spelled "no", don't critize something you can't do either.:eek7:

Oh sorry to make you choke on your breakfast this morning buddy. You actually think i might give a shit?

I was just wondering.

How much is just a regular, new, stock, 2003-2004 (which ever is they newest year) Skyline r34?

How much does it cost to import it?

How much is all the other crap that u have to do in order for ur skyline to be legal? And what are those thing?

im sayin it'll cost up to 90-100K bucks. for the 2002 Skyline GTR Nur-Spec, or wut ever:comprage1

There are not 4 exhaust pipes. You mean the silver things in the rear bumper towards the top??? Those are racing fuel caps, they pump the fuel ridiculously fast to the tank.

hey domin i meet u here too koo lol any ways that dont look much like exhaust pipes if it was it has to look much reallistic

You really need to see a better shot of the side of the car dude, there both like 4 inch outlets on one side for bigtime exhaust venting :)

The R34's production stopped in 2002 with the Nur Spec I believe.

Check out MotoRex Inc. (http://www.motorex.net) for the answers to your questions.

XspudX To answer your question, check with Motorex. They are the only company in the US that imports Skylines. I know, I live in Japan, and would so love to bring a GTR back. However, it costs an arm and a leg. Good luck.

an r34 gt25 turbo skyline is $40,000 new. an r34 gtr v-specii is $58,000 new. expect $20,000+ for importation and legalization.

More. ODBII...

how hard can it possibly to throw in an extra o2 sensor?

25Grand hard. Motorex charges 25grand for GTRs after 95. As for importing the car, you will have to buy one that is two years old. Again, the people at Motorex informed that California will not allow them to import a car less than 2yrs old.

I think I've heard that before but doesn anybody know why it costs $25,000 for a friggen extra o2 sensor? I don't get it.

I agree that ODBII shouldn't be that hard to integrate but that's not the point. Motorex charges $25k for ODBII cars, 96 and up. Then other expenses on top of that and it should be in the $30k range + the cost of the car.

how much $$$$$ do have to make a year to get a Sky GTR?

a 98-01 skyline GTR R34 is V-Spec II is 95,000 in the US if you get it from Motorex.

I have a white R33 GTR I can sell you for 43K us legal, Is is mostly stock and has 46K miles. The price lowers depending on the size of your down payment. I have 3 spoken for on the way to motorex now.

Ok, to legalize a JDM car you have to do two things, 1) Convert to OBDII. I know Motorex charges $25,000 for this but I wonder what it would cost me to have my friend (a mechanic) do it. He wouldn't try to squeeze every possive penny out of me for it, like Motorex. 2) You have to present crash test data in order to register the car. I'm not sure how to go about doing this. I called Nissan Japan but their automated answering system is all in JAPANESE! DUH! It was stupid for me to try. I think all I have to do is figure out the equivilent of the NHTSA in Japan and then contact them somhow (I don't speak Japanese) and have them e-mail or fax it to me. Screw Motorex...I'll figure this shit out on my own....hopefully. I sure as hell will not pay $95,500 for a $58,000 car!

If anybody knows what the Japanese equivilent of the NHTSA in Japan, Please e-mail or PM me!

Didn't I cover this with you in our PM conversation? Nissan doesn't have the crash test data, Motorex does.

Where do you think Motorex got this information? I doubt they crash tested skylines themselves. Like I said before, If you can find the equivilent of the NHTSA in Japan, then you can obtain crash test data from them. That's probably exactly what Motorex did.

Wrong. A company hired by Motorex did the crash testing, that is part of the reason for their prices. Read their FAQ.

Regardless, I'm going to try to find out if there is a Japanese equivilent of the NHTSA. Nissan doesn't have an automated answering thing in english but Honda does. They open in 5 minutes and I'm going to call them to try and find out.

What good does it do? There is no DOT crash test data other than Motorex's.

Oh shit...Duh! Oh well...

Hi ..

How much would a WRECKED Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 cost in the US ??

Would it cost between $10-40K or even more ??

Even if you do call the Japanese equivalent of the NHTSA and get their crash test data, it won't help much. The reason is that your data would be from a test carried out in Japan, not the US. The chances of crash standards being the same for both countries are virtually nil. Even if standards were the same, the US folks would probably want to do their own tests anyway.

A wrecked car won't pass dot and epa:biggrin: that car would be cut and used for parts.

us leg gtrs 4 sale ??? IS this DJ from missouri???!?!!?

denso: even if crash tests for the skyline exists in japan, dont you think motorex would have found it and used it instead of paying an independant contractor hundreds of thousands to crash test skylines the the US's standards? my point is, the data does not exist because nissan has/had zero plans to import the skyline. thats why motorex had to be pioneers and create their OWN data, and thats why their prices are so high. and they own the rights to this crash test info, the rights they payed so dearly for, so if you want your own then either hire a contractor for hundreds of thousands or try and buy the data from motorex. have fun:smile:

good reply:biggrin:

motorex is the only RI to ever crash test a car. that info will never be public info.

japan does have crash tests, but they don't do the same tests we do, and they don't look for the same outcome. you can't use these in the US. you can use this info when submitting a patition to import a car that has a like model with the same name and design in the us. one is in for the RHD evo's now. it will never pass, but if it does, evo 6 here I come:smile:
