Well, I've already resigned myself to the fact that I'm going to spend gobs and gobs of money for some little friggin DOT and EPA stickers but I'm lacking two important things.
1. The ability to read Japanesse to read ALL THOSE FRIGGIN DEALER PAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angryfire:
2. And the list price of an R33, R34 and the V-Spec model of those cars.

Can any of the many learned, (Or some one lucky enough to live in Japan) help me out?

Don't have current info, but if you go to Motorex's site, they have prices of what all the models go for. Of course you just have to reduce their costs and take it from there. Or you can go hear, not Japan but the next best thing, and see the prices there.

Most Japanese dealer pages will have the price listed in yen. Typically, for a Skyline, it will be several million. Just get that and go to a financial website to do the conversion to US funds. A 2001 (or 2002?) Skyline in Japan ranges from around US$40K to US$47K according to the Japanese Nissan website.

this is a link with past auction results just click on nissan or what ever and put in the model you want and it gives you alot of the prices the cars went for.

also when buying a car in japan its a good idea to get it that is near to A major shipping port cause if not you have to pay some serious scratch also have the dealer arrange the paper work for customs for export cause if the car sits @ the post you can $$$$$ for storage so make sure the get it released for IMMEIDATE EXPORT

Thanks for the info guys, I've been roaming around AutoPoint.NZ and other NZ search engines for the last week and what I have gathered is that I can get a nice R33 mby even a V-Spec for like 20k US. That almost makes me want to give the US the finger and live in NZ while I go to school, and then just stay there :p
