I think it's overpriced... Most all imported GTRs are overpriced... consider this, you can get a 1999 M3 for under $30,000. You can get a brand new G35SC for $33,000.

Yes, I'd LOVE a SGTR but not when it costs double what the car SHOULD cost.

B) why does the hood look like it wont close all the way?
C) theres a puddle under the car. leakage maybe?
D)R34's are amazing....so despite the above 3, if i had the money i'd still buy it

That is totally overpriced. It's not even a GT-R! You can spend less money for much faster cars. It doesn't have the SSS Atessa drivetrain or anything. Almost any car out on the market here can beat that car.

I keep saying it over and over again, but nobody seems to pay attention: A skyline is worthless if it's not a GT-R. Please stop making a big deal out of GTS' and GTS-T's. They're worthless.

People getting exciting over a Skyline GTS or GTS-T is like people getting excited over a Civic Si thinking it's a Type R. The GTS is no big deal. An Infiniti G35 will destroy that car in every way possible, for cheaper. Might as well buy the G35 and stick the skyline logo on, since the G35 is the new Skyline.

Like I said earlier, GT-S are worthless. They cost around $15,000 in Japan used. Motorex said it costs $9k to convert, so that brings it to $24k. It's a complete waste of money. Even if that car was $24k, you could buy a brand new WRX, which would beat the car. The auction's trying to make big bucks off of ignorant kids who gawk at anything that says "Skyline"

My bad, Attesa E-TS (Pro for v-spec). SSS-Attesa was used on the Bluebird, keep making that mistake. But the whole reason why Skyline has sucha big rep is it's Attesa torque management that switches the car to 4wd when the traction starts to slip. The GT-T doesn't have it, therefore it's just like every other RWD car.

And the GT-T has 250 hp, not 270.

This guy speaks like he's owned one and it was a lemon. Much like cavalier owners after they ditch it for a better car.
