The 32 GTR's are becoming a real bargain car now, with a lot of them coming up for around (and under) the $20k mark. With the 15 year rule this year, as long as it is not changed before august (I think that was the first month of release in '89), prices will be even lower.
Prestige motorsport has a few examples be offered CHEAP!
1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR MODIFIED, 5 speed, 107,000 kms, Silver, $16,400 plus modifications and ORC's
Price $16,400
Description:
The following vehicle will be auctioned in Japan on or before Saturday 17th January 2004 and will be eligible for import under the 15 year rule from LATE 2004. The expected sale price is from 850,000 yen FOB (this is our estimate -- being an auction situation, the final price may end up being higher or lower; see the bottom of this message for notes about price estimates). The total cost in Australia at this price is estimated to be from $16,400.
We have included the cost of shipping, import duties, GST and our service fee in this estimate. Not included is the cost of Govt. stamp duty and registration (normal licensing costs for any vehicle). An allowance of up to $1,200 should also be made on top of this price for the minor items required to be addressed under the 15 year rule prior to registration. These can be done by anyone, and may include retractable seatbelts for rear seats, sun visors, child restraint points on the rear parcel shelf for cars with rear seats, high level brake light, driver's side mirror to be changed from convex to flat, unleaded fuel filler opening restrictor, side intrusion bars, engineer's certificate, and a new set of tyres if the Japanese tyres are worn out.
FREE storage is available in Japan until the vehicle is eligible for import.

Please note: That price estimates are just that -- estimates. It is obviously impossible to predict the auction sale prices in advance and vehicles regularly sell for both less and more than our estimates which we stress should be used as a guide only. Importantly, we DO NOT advertise vehicles at unrealistically low prices like some other companies do. We DO NOT use tag advertising to lure customers in with a low price only to surprise them later with hidden costs once it is too late. Instead, we feel it is important to take a responsible approach and provide reasonable estimates to begin with that have a good chance of buying the vehicle even though the final price may end up being significantly cheaper on the day in some cases.
The fact is that our service fee and Japan-side export costs are virtually identical to other companies offering a similar service. The difference is that our price estimates are entirely realistic and in our 5 years of operation this is one of the main factors that has lead to our solid reputation for reliability and honesty and a great many satisfied customers. Once a vehicle is purchased online, we are also happy to supply (to that customer only) the web link to the online auction website showing the exact sale price. At the end of the day, our service fee is fixed and all other costs are charged at cost. So whomever you use to source your vehicle when buying direct, your final cost will be very much the same. It is therefore important to select a company you can trust above all else.
For peace of mind, a full Australia-wide warranty is available from CarGear. Comprehensive cover starts from $295, with 3 Years premium cover for just $925. Full details are available by clicking on this link to CarGear (
