I found a skyline R33 TURBO, M reg. 62000 miles, manual, motorsport, digital climate, PAS, ind kit, performance exhaust, hi-cass, EW, CL, 270bhp, in Turquoise for roughly 8,500$ now i need to know does it have to be legalized to be a track car?

Not really you can find GT-Ss for about that much, but not legalized.

when the GT-R came out, it was like 3 million yen (approximately 30k usd) off the lot...and that was for an R34..so thats a good price....i would take it

er...an r33 gtr is 24 million yen...ive never seen an r34 go that cheap around my area..but i saw a r34 4 door turbo for 1.7mill

edit: er 24 million average around my area...r32 gt-rs go for 700,000-100,000 yen around my area

i thought r34 gtr's where like 70k new

[markeese180sx]

when i said 24 mill i mean 2.4 mill aka about 23k usd...70k for an r34 is only for VSPEC II

Skylines are Expensive around 70-90k in america because of the cost of importing, and legalizing and the taxes you have to pay to uncle sam. Compared to that skylines are rather affordable in japan to purchase.

R32s can be had pretty cheap due to the drop off of value of japanese used car. Not unlike here, but even more so.

sorry what i meant was like 70k in japan new for the highest model of r34 gtr which now that i remember is the vspec II

[markeese180sx]

i think thats close to factory price but u can get it used 1 owner for a lot cheaper

So does any body know if it has to be legalized to be a pure track car and never touches the street until i get the money to legalize it

[MrodDrft]

it dont gotta be legal if its a track only car

[SilverGhost]

well, at least for all the events here, it does have to be registered and insured.....

if i buy a GT-R when i move to japan, i would most likely go for a 99 R34 cause of the drop of value, that way it is cheaper. and plus, why spend the extra money for a higher model when you can spend the same money on extensive tuning and make it alot faster? i dunno, thats just my take on it.....

R34's aint cheap

Here in Oz an R34 GT-Turbo is around the A$45k mark and a GT-R R34 is lucky to be found under A$90k not sure what the exchange rate is right now but thats 2nd hand and that is far too expensive for ANYONE i know. Y not do what i did by an older skyline get a newer engine and make it scream. I got a R32 RB20DET and did the swap myself into an R30 its currently putting around 320hp to rear wheels and drifts well u gotta feel it to believe it. Its an 1200 kilo car 5 speed with a locked R180 differntial from a 240Z. And it puts a GTO Monaro (runs the latest corvette engine) to shame in a strait line. All from a 1985 skyline R30. Believe it or not. Did i forget to mention the 50shot in the boot (For all u seppos a boot is a "trunk")
