    Well, this all started when I wanted to get myself a Honda NSX. Problem is, pristine and good condition units does not go cheap on the market and our importation taxes are simply the bomb. In the end, I computed that shipping a post-facelift NSX from the US would costs me around the ballpoint of 4 million pesos. I also inquired sa Autoplus kung may kilala sila but the owner said there's this guy who has two of them... but they're real jerks daw .

    So my attention has been shifted towards a Skyline R34 GT-R. This is because we're working on reviving an aging R32 with a RB26DETT engine and I'm simply awestruck sa potential ng kotse. Well, further compounded by my fascination of GT-Rs sa Gran Turismo (my usual route taken was a Mazda Miata -> Honda S2000 -> R34 which I would then pump it to 800HP).

    So,
    1. How much na ba going price ng R34 nowadays? I'm not particularly critical on the engine. In fact, I won't mind if it's the RB25DE. Power comes cheaply naman.. hell, iniisip ko nga in going non-turbo for the peace of mind (then again, it IS a performance car)

    2. Think Japan would ship me for one? Baka naman may kilala kayong Subic/Port Irene/Cebu dealer?

    3. Any problems I should know beforehand?

    Well, I do plan on having it driven on weekend trips lang. Knowing my detailing hobby, expect it to be in pristine condition and drool worthy once approved :naughty2:

    EDIT: ****, now kilangan ko i-polish manual tranny driving skills ko. I've never driven outside the village before.. hahaha..

    R32 GT-Rs are the cheapest way to get an RB26DETT. They go for as low as 550, last time I checked. These are 20-year old cars though, but personally I'd prefer to fix the rattly bits of this old car than get an R33 or R34.

    But if you're set on an R34, the GT-T variants (RB25DET) go for around 800k up, depending on the mods. An R34 GT-R would cost you close to 2M.

    I think I've seen this Skyline before. Track-ready na 'to, madalas sa BRC. Forte Koup ba yung daily nung may-ari nito Renz?

    AFAIK hindi Forte Koup.

    Sa AEP album kasi kotse ni AMG560 (owner niyan) puro oldschool tapos Safari Patrol.

    Siguro yung previous owner before niya yung naka-Forte Koup. Mukhang malinis na nga eh, diba? I mean.. mas ok kung alam mong maraming kotse yung owner plus enthusiast din para at least alam mo naalagaan.

    And deym rarely do I see R32 GTRs that are that clean. Kung may pera lang ako...

    I'm kinda confused, you are looking for a GTR R32 but at the same time "don't mind any version of skyline, as long as its 2 doors".

    Actually, authentic GT-Rs are rare in the Ph. Most you see in Manila streets with GT-R badges are just posers (non-GTR variants with GTR emblems). But if you know what a GT-R looks like, you can immediately tell. Eg. it has wider bodies. The GT-R has this beefy masculine stance compared to skyline Gts, Gtt etc. You can find these legit Rs on connections, enthusiasts usually knows who is selling nice sportscars like these. And yes, at sites like sulit. Just be careful when buying. Like what I've said, some maybe cheap but there are lots to fix. And again, GTR parts are expensive. I think there is a GT-R club here in Ph, you can try to contact them. They have a few select members, not a surprise because there are only a few true GTR owners here.

    If I may ask, do you have a budget already? Coz some would just ask, but actually doesn't have any budget yet. Lastly, I think you should know values of these are already on the rise - Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 prices 'doubled in Japan' | Classic and Performance Car

    There are many converted Skylines, there are few that are done right. Read here on what it takes to get a proper LHD R34 GTR:

    Converting to Left Hand Drive – GTROC

    Another option is to just rent a GT-R and enjoy it as a fling rather than a long term commitment.
