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.

There is a model report [a certain importer has it] but as its for a std car if you bought that one you would need to put it back to std spec.

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.

Forgot to say, i think this car is supplied by amplified performance. Ive been on their mailing list for six months and when they sent me info on a suitable car replied up to check the on the road price and they said they couldnt sva the car so it couldnt be used on the public highway. To say i was gutted is not enough.....

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.

GT4s are the wheels to have
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

There is a loophole apparently. You have to turn your R34 into a camper van though I think and that includes a bed and a cooker

I believe it has been done

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

My OSG triple still hasnt bedded in fully but is nice and progressive for a multiplate job. When we eventually hook up have a drive in mine and see what you think.
