It's legal and it's not Weissach's car. They're are selling it for the customer. Customers reason for getting rid of it, it attracts too much attention. And the price for the car is in the area of $180K-$200K. They were taking it out to take pictures of it on Monday, I was hoping for a ride but I was working, so wasn't able to.

Maybe he's selling it because he realizes its gonna be worth 1/10th of the price in ten years than if he sold it now.

Seriously who would pay $180,000 for a Skyline GT-R when you can own a used Gallardo or Ferrari for much less than that?
When R35 with mark up at $110,000 is consider ridiculous and a R34 for $180,000?
In about 5 years this car would only worth 1/10 of this price when the 99' R34 can be imported here.

This is the GTR M-Spec Nur edition. There were only 250 of these made.....EVER. It came off the line in February 2002 as a final special edition for the R34 GTR series with upgraded interior and the same engine as the N1 racing version (only 45 made). Definitely worth the money for rarity, not just in Canada but worldwide. Here's some information on it:


The GT-R reappeared in 1999, with a revised chassis and other updates. The R34 turbos received a ball bearing core. The R34 N1 turbos had a metal exhaust wheel, and ball bearing center section. A stronger 6-speed Getrag gearbox was used. The turbo outlet pipes were changed from cast to formed metal outlets. The intercooler had a temperature probe in the V-spec models.

Models:

* GT-R - 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 Nm) (advertised as 280)[19]
* GT-R V-Spec - Additional aero parts, brake ventilation ducts, diffuser.
* GT-R V-Spec II - As above + carbon fibre bonnet with NACA duct.
* GT-R N1 - Blueprinted N1 motor, no A/C, no stereo, no rear wiper, basic interior trim. (only 45 made)
* GT-R M-Spec - Leather interior, softer suspension with "Ripple Control" dampers, heated seats.
* GT-R V-Spec II Nür - As above V-Spec II + N1 motor, 300 km/h speedo. (only 750 made)
* GT-R M-Spec Nür - As above M-Spec + N1 motor, 300 km/h speedo. (only 250 made)
* GT-R NISMO R-tune
* GT-R NISMO Z-tune - 2.8 L (bored and stroked) RB26DETT Z2 twin-turbo I6, 500 PS (368 kW, 540 Nm) Z1 and Z2 (Only 20 made)


Another special model of the R34 GT-R is the M-spec. It was similar to the V-spec, but had special "Ripple control" dampers and a leather interior with heated front seats.

At the time of the R34's release, like the R32 and R33, Nissan released an R34 N1 model. The R34 GT-R N1 was equipped similar to the R32 and R33 N1 models - a homologation special. It was sold without ABS, air conditioning, audio equipment, rear wiper, or carpet in the trunk. The new R34 N1 was also given the new R34 N1 engine. Only 45 R34 N1 models were produced from the factory, 12 of which were used by Nismo for Super Taikyu racing. The rest were sold to various customers, mostly racing teams, and tuning garages.

In August 2000, Nissan released a newer V-Spec II GT-R model. The V-Spec II has increased stiffness in the suspension (even stiffer than the original V-spec) and had larger brake rotors on the rear. It also comes equipped with a carbon fiber hood, which is lighter than the aluminum that all other GT-R hoods are made from. Also different on the V-Spec II was an iridium center console and aluminium pedals. The seats were also made with black cloth rather than the gray cloth used on previous R34 GT-R models, and the amber turn lenses were replaced with white versions. From this point on the standard trim level GT-Rs and V-Specs also received these updates, with the exception of the carbon fiber bonnet.

In February 2002 Nissan released a final production model of the R34 GT-R called the Nür. Nissan also released a limited Manufacturer Special model designated the M-Spec. This came in two forms, the base M-Spec, and the Nür. The Nür was sold in 2 different models: the Skyline GT-R V-spec II Nür and the previously mentioned Skyline GT-R M-spec Nür. The Nür was named after the famous German Nürburgring racetrack, where the Skyline was developed. The Nür model featured an improved RB26DETT based on the N1 racing engine, used by Nismo in Motorsports. The V-spec II Nür is based on the regular V-spec II model, and the M-spec Nür was based on the regular M-spec model. Other than the addition of the Nür engine, the Nür models also included a different color of stitching on the interior trim, as well as a speedometer reading up to 300 km/h (186 mph).

Production figures

Standard Cars = 3,964
V-Spec = 7,301
N1 Race Version = 45[12]
Total = 11,310

I swear there was a thread on here (~about a year ago) about an R34 skyline being a kit car or something along those lines. He kept everything on the DL and there were rumours about ICBC keeping an eye on it..

The one I'm speaking of may be another vehicle, but I'm just putting this info out there.

02-14-2009, 07:05 PM
the loop hole is ..... take a car apart into pieces. Ship it over and assemble them. Register it as u built. It is lots of work and money involved !! But if someone is willing to pay for 180000 then i guess its more than worth it.

thumper
02-14-2009, 07:20 PM
so... $180k for a u-build 02 nur-spec, or $81.9k (base, if you could even buy it for that much before dealer markup?) for a brand new 09 gtr?

maybe because i'm poor this dosen't make rational sense to me :confused:

.Renn.Sport
02-14-2009, 07:42 PM
if it was a striped R34 along with all Z-Tune parts and fly the Nismo engineers to build it together... then its worth the 180k, since then, its no difference then a Z-Tune sold in Japan :D

Yes you can get a new GTR cheaper but this is for some one who loves the R34 GTR and wants a very exclusive car (in Canada). It was obviously a huge expense and a lot of paper work to get this car here legally.

Can you imagine the attention you would get from import owners and car lovers a like?

I had a ride in the one in Vancouver around 2002. Blue R34 GTR with full Cwest kit, 19" Advan Model 5 in bronze. Motrexed car owned by an owner of Garage SPL in Seattle. The car is now Do Luck sponsored and tours the show scene in the US.

Riding down Robson on a Saturday it turned heads like crazy.

It's a very exclusive and head turning car for 5 years and the cost for that is $180,000.
Who ever bought that car will have a very hard time selling it at 1/5 of the price afterward.
The price may still be there but there are no market for it.
$180,000 can pick up a 996 GT2 which is also very exclusive and much better and faster car when both in stock form.
And there is a R35 sitting at the dealership asking $110,000.
BOth cars still have their value afterward.

This car bought so much attention in Canada is because it hasn't meet the 15 years rule yet.
After 5 years when they meet the 15 years rule no one is going to give a damn about it.
Just like the R32.

While I don't agree with how much it costs, you guys also have to realize that a good chunk of money was likely put into making this thing DOT-approved. They had to fabricate new headlights and have them officially tested by the government twice. If you're doing that for a couple thousand cars, the price isn't too bad. But because it was a one-off custom job, it'll be more expensive. Plus there's the price of the original car in Japan, labour costs of dismantling it, packing up all the pieces securely, shipping it, unpacking, assembling parts, making sure it all works properly, getting road-worthiness approval, etc., etc. There's a lot more work involved than simply driving a car into a container and shipping it over.

hk20000
02-15-2009, 10:18 AM
I have checked that the chassis must be in more than THREE pieces at the beginning to be considered a Ubilt in UK now. So what people do is chop the car up in the half way length and remove the roof from the car and ship it like that.

I don't know about Canada but I would guess the rule is similar.

TouringTeg
02-15-2009, 02:17 PM
Thats a good point about the 15 year rule. Once the R34 GTR is 15 years old more will be coming in to Canada and this one will depreciate very quickly.

That's assuming we still have the 15 year rule at that point!

Stop posting BS ricer. R34 was never made as a lhd therefore the lights are aimed the wrong way into our oncoming traffic. This GTR however has spent THOUSANDS just on the headlights alone to get them facing the right away,tested at a lab and certified hence the street legal aspect of it.

This car is street legal as "KIT CAR".
The original owner chopped it into pieces and imported it in.
So there are nothing special about it.
The car was at weissach for consignment but it attracted too much BS interest so they took it off their web site.

I'm gonna guess either this thing is really rather sketch under the pretty paint, or at best it was brought in through MotorEx and then brought up here or something.

Oh and Death2Theft, idk where you got that info from, but to me, those headlights just look like regular R34 ones, cut up, with projectors mounted in the holes. That alone seems ghetto enough to make me not want this car. Could they not find something similar to how the Accord lights fit in the R32?

Also this mention of another, white R34, that's actually a really well done R32 with some R34 panelling and such. I would take that over this any day.

I honestly try not make it a habit to say my G...I've actually been trying to say the G most of the time, but when I'm lazy or whatever then it just slips out. I also didn't mention my friend's dad imported an R34 to show boat, I just thought that they bought it from Weissach so I was going to mention to the poster that asked if it's still for sale, but obviously you can't say anything around here without getting flamed

Secondly, the guy that did the inspection on the R34, passed it as a U-BUILT, and lost his license from ICBC. Thirdly, the guy that first thought that they were really smart in finding the loopholes for bringing in this R34, is now running scared in another country because of this car. The car is so heated out, that the original owner didint even want it no more.

wow, 170k on what you just described ? thanks for filling us in, info is much appreciated although you're about to get people asking for further details on how you got around to working on it, what shop, etc.....

they made 3... plus you can bring in anything you want if it's only for offroad use, and that car doesn't have a plate on it.

Unless I see legit R34 registration papers and/or VIN I call b/s. even if it is a legit, insurable R34, the owners gotta have more money than brains.

You guys need to look at the details of the car. Just because they are all silver, it dont mean that its the conversion one.

This one has nismo wheels, widebody front fenders, bumper, and a vented CF hood that is painted. Theres only one R34 that looks like this. Oh yea, and it has the $20,000 DOT SAE approved headlights lool

NOT the same shit. Yes Motorex's owner Hiro went to jail and the company was shut down however US DOT has determined all Motorex cars are 100% legal in the US and can not be touched.

The only cars being sezied are Kaizo cars that were imported as shells and drivetrains then registered as "kit cars."

I thought it was determined that MotorEx hadn't done shit to the cars, just brought them in, sat them in the shop for a month, and then sold them without having done anything.

I thought only the R33's were legal since they were the only ones that had crash testing done?

TouringTeg
10-04-2009, 04:51 PM
Underscore: That is essentially true. Although some cars did have the proper modifications done to make them legal. In the end Motorex (Hiro) began cutting corners and ran into financial troubles.

Ajax: Technically yes but Motorex cars are grandfathered in the US. Because owners paid Motorex to convert their vehicles and make them legal (even though the conversions were largely not done correctly) most were granted exception by the DOT and legally own their R32/R33/R34 in the US.

Motorex cars are worth much more than gray market cars (CDN cars, lax laws in states like Florida/Utah) because they are completely legal

I have always been interested in the fall of Motorex. Tydango on freshalloy.com (owner of GTR blog spot) has been a wealth of info because he worked at Motorex and then started RB Motoring specializing in Skyines. You can learn a lot more on subjectin the Skyline section on freshalloy.com At one time he was considering making a movie about all this!

Btw I had a ride in a motorex R34 GTR in Vancouver way back in the day. Probably 7 yrs ago now. At the time it was Bayside blue, Cwest kit, bronze Advan Model 5 19x10 all around owned by a GarageSPL shop owner in Seattle. It is now full Do Luck sponsored and used to tour around HIN in the US. So sick. Riding shotgun down Robson in that was fun lol

Right, I think that was part of what was done by ME, the guy only got the 33 tested and then somehow used those results for the 32 and 34
