Not a good deal, it's a GTS-t

You'd find a better deal on gtrcanada for the same price for a GTR

i don't think i want a GTR cause of all the problems i have heard with maintaining them, this one has a R34 engine in it anyway

Someone would have to be pretty desperate to sell a GTR for 9grand or less, assuming it's in good condition. Most good condition GTRs I've seen go for $12-16,000

Doesn't look like a bad deal. It's only a GTS, but has GTS-T brakes and motor. I would just make sure the swap looks clean - not a hack job.

Really, it's up to you. Myself, I'm saving for an GTR; possibly an R33.

Note: it doesn't actually say what generation the 2.5 came from, so it could be from an R33. Still though, low mileage so I wouldn't worry too much.

i can ask the owner of MAK customs to import any skyline i want(1993 or older). And he gets all the history on the mileage.

i have already test drove it and it seems pretty good

Which skyline would you recommend the R32 GTR the GTS or the GTS-T

In all seriousness, a car like that over here in Japan would be worth about 5K on the high end, with perfect interior and exterior.

It having been an N/A converted to an RB25DET with R32 T Type-M brakes is a good start, but still not worth 9K, but demand of a certian type of car always hikes the prices.

Don't waste your time or money with that thing, gtrcanada has cheaper GTSt's for sale with lots of mods and look much nicer.

You can find good ones between $5k-$8k and around $10k for GTR on there. In the states you will see them go for $10k-$15k and $20 for GTR in the states.
