I reckon that looks just as good as Lee's, apart from the wheels
Rear spoiler looks wicked
How come it's an RB28 tho, thought they were all RB26 engine's? Know they did 2.8l just not in this country?

Who ever buys it is gonna be gutted when they come to register it. It says sold on an FOB basis, fresh off boat. This excludes the sva and registration. To sva an r 34 gtr is an absolute nightmare as there is no model report so it cost a fortune to "get round it". This is why i do not have an r34 and drive a cossy.

Are you sure about the model report? is it sva imports? I was told that some firms had spent 10k plus trying to get a model report and gave up.
Porkie, the reason i dont buy a second hand one over here is simple, i havent got over 30k which is what you had to spend. You cant get a decent skyline in the uk for much less than 30 and i have a budjet of 25, i have seen a few in japan for around this price when all imports, dutys etc are included.

Nice engine, but much prefer the look of Lee's, not just cause of the wheels either, Lee's has a lot of other nicer bits.]
Its an Amplified Performance car, well, not "theirs" as such, same as all their cars, its for sale in Japan and if someone wants it theyd buy it n bring it over, as could countless companys.

TE37s on GTRs are like Rondells on EsCos
The only Z tune I have seen s/h was 120k and tbh you could have a better and faster GTR than a Z tune for that money. I do like certain trick Ztunes bits tho - carbon floor and inner wing reinforcements etc

The motorhome loop is now closed, You are very correct as i nearly bought a gtr on the back of this, i found out 2 days before buying the car that it was no longer available. It had something to do with camper vehicles did not have model reports for an sva. The way gtr's are brought in now is by means of a single vehicle test. This is very similar to an sva and it is how kit cars etc are done that dont have a model report. A gtr will NEVER pass an sva emmissions test and that is why it cant have a model report. The single test has the basic car test then a noise and emmissions test, this costs 400 and 800 quid if i remember and a standard car will not pass. Some importers (as cam said) claim to be able to sva gtr's and this is how its done. I dont know how to do it yet but i believe the management of the car is fettled and extra cats may be added until the emmissions pass. If it fails the first time it cost you another 800. I know a few firms who can import and sva a car for me but they want near Ł2k for the sva, this breaks my budget.
Cam, never really thought of a gtr in red but that looks awesome mate
