I don't understand your reasoning. Don't you think someone would rather pay that amount for something in better condition, and already imported - like your car? No doubt you could find a buyer pretty easily, especially since it's untouched.

About the Mine's, I assume they did about everything to the engine short of increased displacement - they just did it very well. Stock airboxes though, and almost stock looking. They deffinitely do know their magic.

Sorry I screwed up on what I was talking about. What I was meaning was somebody can purchase a R34 that is already imported for near $35,000-$45,000 or a little more depending on how used it is, regardless if it has alot more miles used on it (by alot more I'm talking about maybe 20,000-30,000 miles which isn't much) and wouldn't mind having higher mileage while saving nearly $30,000. Plus I'm 22, people will think whenever I did drive it I beated it to death because that's how people stereotype younger aged guys.

Well most younger age guys do really race their cars hard and unforgivingly. Just look at all the threads where people break something doing stupid shit. The fact is that most people are very dumb, especially when they're younger. However, seeing as you own a very rare car, I would highly doubt that you would be doing crazy burnouts and whatnot in it.

more importantly whether or not it is a gtr vspec. dude. if its a gtr vspec then it will sell for more than 50k. i see r32s and weak sauce r33s sold for 35k-45k. not even close to being the performer that the r34 gtr is.

i think you could get more than that regardless of who is selling it. i still want to see pics

trust me its possible. a few awd turbo cars can do it with a few basic boltons. i have a friend with a wrx that spins all 4 without breaking a sweat. he has to in order to trap good times. i also know of an s4 that has this problem(not uli, although he is developing this problem in 1st as the mods stack up)

Well considering I said stock I've tried to do a burnout but it's just not possible. I've put it in 4th and rev'd it up and feathered the clutch out and still nothing.
I can't afford any of the upgrades, everything is so damn expensive to upgrade on this car it's not even funny. I never even thought about the aftermarket as well but that goes to show how people are young and dumb on purchasing vehicles.

No I don't have a V-spec, it's the reg R34. There was a V-spec but it was over $70,000 for the car alone so it would've costed all-together $110,000 to have it imported and regulated in the country.
The V-spec II's were over $100,000 itself

Apparently ya'll haven't tried doing burnouts in 4th gear while dropping the clutch. You can do really long burnouts but please don't do it on torque-lacking civic's or anything Honda or Toyota.

Well considering I have twin-turbo's I'm very sure it's a GT-R ;).

Yes it'll kill your clutch but once it goes your tires will burn for several several feet.
