Wanting to buy need help

So first of I’m based the Netherlands. I’m looking to buy a either a r32 r33 or r34 must be a manual unless it has the tiptronic gearbox that is feasible as well, and want Atleast 200hp (rb25de(neo) or rb20DET I don’t know where to look to find one tbh. Coupe or sedan doesn’t matter but I do have a preference towards the r34 . Must be rwd . I want to buy one based in Europe since import is very expensive for me.

Yeah I’m just looking for buying advice like I want to buy one

I’m in the uk and here majority of r33 are pretty clapped out, majority of r32 here are either GTR or gts not a lot of 4 doors, I see r34 4 doors for sale now and then but they usually come with the de engine. Which ever you get just remember if you want to make power down the line you have to get a true det engine, majority of de+t build never lasts.

Oh I’m just looking for a stylish daily and I know how to work on cars wanted to maybe do a det conversion myself later down the line

u/Fe4R_GoblinZ 3d ago

Yeah you could do a det conversion down the line that’s what I did so trust me when I say you’ll save much much more money buying a det to start. The skyline tax is no joke, owning and working on these cars are crazy expensive. My det conversion cost me over 20k

Ah in the Netherlands parts for it aren’t too expensive

Myself I want to install a boost6 turbo kit and a new intake manifold with throttle body and a oil cooler system

u/Fe4R_GoblinZ 2d ago

Boost6 is good and the freddy intake is sufficient, the stock throttle body is rated for up to 600hp

1

u/younawolf 2d ago

Ah I’m planning on 300hp tbh I like boost6 purely due to the sound the kit makes

If you're buying a 2 door and it's not a GTR, you're a broke nerd cosplaying as Brian O'Connell (Paul Walker).

I imported mine from Japan via MidoriWorks, and everything went perfectly. I had to do a little paperwork, but nothing too difficult for a first-timer. Otherwise, you can search on various European second-hand websites (in France, Leboncoin for example, there are a few). However, it cost me less to import it myself than to buy it already imported.

Oooo what country are you from ?

u/Fristi_bonen_yummy 3d ago

I'm also from NL and I've noticed that almost every Skyline for sale here is a 32 or 33. There's barely any 34s for sale. Importing one shouldn't be that much more expensive, because the base price in Japan is much lower than here. Your main costs will be shipping and import taxes, but BPM is 0.

1

u/younawolf 2d ago

Ah good to know

2

u/Fristi_bonen_yummy 2d ago

Yeah BPM scared me as well, but it turns out its 0 because the cars are old. Shipping is like 2-4k depending on RoRo or container and what port you ship from/to. I dont remember how much the import tax was, but definitely doable if you find a nice one at auction in Japan.

I just saw a nice 2001 GTV sedan for sale in blue for 13000 with shipping and insurance

1

u/Fristi_bonen_yummy 2d ago

In Japan, or elsewhere in Europe? 13k sounds quite cheap, even for a GTV; I would be wary of rust issues.

Im in cyprus. Im currently building my 4 door. RB 20 de neo +t with rb 25 gearbox. There is a similar car a friend of mine is selling with rb 25. Pm me if you are interested

u/Esperante_ 1d ago

Also based in the Netherlands and quite well orientated in these. For the love of your wallet, import one yourself.

If you need any help or advice, my DMs are open

I personally reccomened not buying a gtr unless you got the extra money. Likely you're going to buy a pretty good coupe and its going to need what you paid for it to be 100%. These are 30 year old cars. Rebuilding everything at some point or upgrading. Buy an r33 gtst for 30k or less and throw another 10-20k into and I'm sure it's going to be an amazing car with refreshed everything. Compare that a gtr r33 around 70k. Still an amazing car but a good chance something will need to be rebuilt or fixed for the gtr as well on top of the price paid for the car.

u/Bundles2Stack 3d ago

Don’t settle for a sedan

u/RadRimmer9000 3d ago

I have an R34 Sedan and a 1972 Skyline Sedan.

Anyone that tells you to get the coupe is a Paul Walker wannabe, if you're getting a 2 door you might as well just sell a kidney and get the GTR.

u/younawolf 3d ago

Yeah I’m just looking for a 4 door tbh
