i'll do it for 5 thousand.....

Get yourself some driving lessons first.

If you are serious, and have a blank cheque... get an R34 GTR VSpec 2 N1.

You'll have too much trouble trying to find a Nür (either V or M spec). The N1 comes with steel-blade turbines (roller bearing) and is best suited for racing.

Sure - you miss out on air-con and a stereo... but if that's what you're after, get a Benz.

look i have been asked not to discole the amount of money we have fell into. but i was told that for $90.000 i could have anything i wanted imported.. and as for driving lessions i hold a very high recored winning staus and all of my family has been involved with racing in some way. thanks for the smartass remarks but keep them to youself.im asking for help if u dont know anything stay off the forum.

and i thought the R34 was not allowed into the states. i went today to pick out the paint job the guys said it would be easier to decide once i know whak kind of car i am getting.

As stated all over this forum - you can buy an R34 GTR from RB Motoring or Motorex. There is a sticky topic coving this at the top of the list.

US$90k might get you a 1999 R34 VSpec (still a very nice car). It will be RHD.

Bottom line - if you want a GTR in the US, it is expensive. And for mine - you'd be better placed researching the type of car you want to buy rather than what colour you want to paint it?!

Anyway - Skylines come in nice colours from the factory. Why ruin it?

Speak to the mentioned importers for the options at your budget. You could get a nice R33 (like mine) and have some change? Maybe go on a holiday to Japan?

save the money you will be happier in the long run

just cause you have the money doesnt mean you should spend it



yea r34's can be brought into the states, check out motorex, not sure the website addy but whatever they charge that is what you are going to pay

Well make sure you post pictures of whatever you buy.

Nah i still think i will be happier with the car considering i already have them money. besides just think back to when you were 17.... right now now i am having a crate engine put in my mustang.

As of right now, I don't think you can bring in a 34, because of EPA issues. Give MotoRex a few months and if you a really serious about it and have the money ready, they will find a way. As for modifying a skyline give me a call when you are ready.
Performance by Design: (913)962-4317. Hours are 10-6 M-F CST.

well then count on having a customer with an R34 in then next few months i have been looking around here and dont really trust to many of the shops that we have. where are u based?

Nah i still think i will be happier with the car considering i already have them money.

Your mind seems set - just take care. US$100k is a big pile of money to drop on a car at 17...

right now now i am having a crate engine put in my mustang

Why do you need to buy a new car then?

Shawnee, Kansas (just outside of Kansas City).
Our website is just up and running but it has some Skyline stuff on it for ya.
www.perfdesign.com

if you call, ask for Tony or Jake

oh yea i agree that is alot of money but i guess for u to understand im living off the intrest of the money we won so buying this car is nothing we have invested and that has been really kewl and the mustang was just givin to me it was my moms. :biggrin:

OK - my thoughts:

Get a series 3 ('97-'98) R33 GTR VSpec.
Modify - breathing, exhaust, ECU, boost controller, turbos (N1s or low-mount HKS) and rims. Leave the paint STOCK.

You'll have a fast daily driver - and it's a GTR to boot. Too much more crazy with mods will make much more power (and fun) - but for the cost of 'streetability'.

Pave your driveway!
For god sake!

Put an SR20 in that ride-on :)
Go on a holiday with the change.

would that be better then getting the R34 and moding the hell out of it. because i am gunna have everything under the hood setup for a bottel and i dont want to have to use it just want to have it incase someone starts handing me my ass. i just want the nicest newest bestest one....i mean hell how many people can spend this much money. i want to be happy and i dont want to go on a holiday :comprage1

If you are working with unlimited funds a 97 or 98 is do-able but silly. It cost you a lot less to buy 96 or older R33's and it's the same car. Also, it depends on what you are planning to do with the car. Autocross? get the V-Spec. Street/Strip just get the GTR saves you money again and for what you are doing it works just as well. Seriously though, give MotoRex a call, ask for Vernon. and if you want to have a convo I can help you out I'm pretty sure, so just give me a call at the shop whenever.

ya know u and this other guy have been the most help out of like 15 people that have replyed. thanks.... and yea i was thinking that i would have a few things replaced under the hood.

Good point on the VSpec thing. Is easier to find a non-VSpec also. I use mine on the track (club days, not racing) so wanted the V :)

Look. I hate to sound negative - but $100k will get you a nice car, maybe with some mods - but certainly not the 'newest best fully modified R34'.

If you want a really nice (but pretty stock) GTR for $100k - get an R34.

If you want to make a 700hp drag-strip monster (for the same budget) start with an R32 (lighter & cheaper) - and be prepared to spend the change at a workshop. With extensive modifications a GTR will run mid to low 9's on street tyres - without nitrous.

And anyway - $100k isn't much to spend on a GTR - espesically in the US.

Here - where they are considerably cheaper - a 2000 R34 VSpec will go for A$100k. You can spend 3 times that on mods - and still get beaten on the strip.

Read this: http://www.rh9.com.au for a guy who started with a beautiful R34, has spent big money on it (upwards of A$300k) and still runs 10's.

Again - talk to Motorex. Discuss your budget and requirements - they will know what they can get for you in the country.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do. A GTR is a fun car - you'll not regret it, whatever model you choose.

Amen to above post

i dont need 9s on a strip high 10s is more then fine i want to just smoke all these fucking eclips , celicas , cameros and this fucked up stupid shit.

get an r33 and have some mod money to spare, i hope a skyline could beat a eclipse even if the skyline was stock
that would be a sad day skyline losing to an eclipse

well in the begining i said 90k but really i was told for my 18 birthday i could have whatever i wanted and have it set up the way i wanted and truth being they dont mind paying this much money so how much for a R34 and say $50.000 dollars in mods would put me where.for some reson im hell bent on the R34 i have herd better things then the R33...

Well - with $150 large - you are in an enviable position. As stated a number of times - talk to Motorex, discuss your options - and good luck!

Just think - if you move to Aus, you instantly add 50% to your money - and have the like of these to buy...

Remember - US$1 = A$1.50
My '97 VSpec was A$55k - that's only US$37k - and it pumps out 220kw at all-four wheels. That'll beat an Eclipse :)

Good luck :)

Ok, that means out goes the GT-R and in comes the McLaren F1 or Nissan R390. Stock, please! :)

Now that I know that you are serious here is my opinion: Keep the mustang and wait a few years for the new V35 GT-R, the predecessor to the R34. Here's the lastest from the rumor mill:

-its coming to the United States (ie - no need to import and spend $$$ on making it compliant to US standards)
- 3.5L V6 tuned by Cosworth and pumping out 350 hp and 331 lb ft, with electrically assisted turbos = less turbo lag.
-Lotus tuned suspension
-updated ATESSA 4WD system
-this was not confirmed but i also heard that the new GT-R is rumored to have the lowest coefficient of drag of any production car (though that is very tough to swallow)
-a six speed Getrag gearbox or a CVT which will come out a year later
-price = ???, probably around $60,000.

If you don't mind trading you RB series engine for the V6 and waiting a few years, I would recommend considering this option.

But with such a blank paycheck why not, as sami suggested, get a McLaren F1 LM or a Bugatti Veyron... Maybe a couple million $ is out of the question.

Well after reading your post, looks like you serious. Like everyone else allready said, get in touch with Motorex. I'm pretty sure they can work out a R34 for you. Good luck on what ever you get.

With that said I think this thread has run its course. Dude if your serious get intouch with either MotoRex or RBmotoring.

there is no need to start another thread on this either ok :)
