Sorry I don't remember a time when R32 GT-Rs were ever worth that much here. 40 yes. 100 no.

Maybe very early on. Never seen it that high myself.

Right now, in our area on Craigslist, they're generally around $20-30k. Don't know how street legal they are though.

And yeah, I imagine insurance rates are relatively high for these cars. Comes with the territory.

If JKaiba says he can't remember a time they were 100k, they were never 100k. Period.

Thanks for the input!
It would just be a street car or I would call it a project of mine, definitely not for racing and it isn't a GTR (certainly can't afford a GTR and it would be a nightmare to try to import as a first-time)!
I don't think RHD would be an issue as I have seen a few R32s & R33s around my local area with RHD.
Federal approval and state registration was precisely what I was most worried about.

RHD is a big issue, most insurance companies will refuse to provide coverage. Yes there are people with RHD's but insurance has become so hard to get, you better have years ( and I mean 10+ ) of loyalty, or be forced to insure it as a commercial vehicle ( I know it doesn't make any sense, but that's how it is ).

Apart from that, there are quite a few companies that import cars for you locally, I would just go through one of them, the fees are certainly not exorbitant.
