GTR R32 Skyline

I'm about to be stationed in Japan and I can't even decide if I want an older car. I've been driving '93 S13s (a white SR'd one that I sold and then bought a grey, KA'd one) for over two years now and my other car is a 2005 Forester. You get to a point where you want to have at least one 'new' car in your stable. At least that's where I'm at. I had a few S13s and an S14 before I left for bootcamp. I bought an FRS while I was in training and really enjoyed the car...until I got back to CA. Community sucks dick (different/same reasons as Zilvia) but I digress...

My point is I've been into 240SXs for quite some time now and I had a taste of a 'new' car for a couple of years. I was stoked to get another S13 but the lack of amenities will start to wear on you...especially if you want a car that's as old as a GTR.

GTRs in Japan are reaching US prices and the NSX is still $30L - $40K. I can't snag anything newer than '94 or I can't bring it back. I don't want to get an S15 and love it only to turn around and sell it when I go.

I talked to Sean Morris at Nissan Jam and he loves R32s. Even with the R33 coming over in a few years he seems like an R32-guy through-and-through. Talk to him and see if he can make you a believer. The R32 wasn't on my radar until I talked to him but even now I'm having a hard time justifying $18K+ for a car that's so old.

To summarize: everything I've been through since selling the FRS has kind of burned me out. I can't fathom spending $20k on a GTR. If you've never looked at one in person or sat in one you might want to do more research before you start the hunt.
