i also live in Japan, about 2 hours north of Misawa and have a number of friends stationed there.
I own a R34 GTR in the US, and have previously owned 3 other GTR's in the states before that.
If you want to look for used cars in Japan, I recommend brushing up on your hiragana and katakana first and foremost, and then installing Google Toolbar in Internet Explorer or just using the Google Chrome browser as both will automatically translate from any language back into English for you. Then visit:

To answer your question, you are looking at about $20k USD or more for a R34 GTR in Japan. I wouldn't get a "beat" one though because when they break they are EXPENSIVE to fix, and even just to maintain.
Hit me up if you want to get together with other GTR owners in the Misawa area. Email me at yum vtec at hotmail dot com and I can give you my cell.
