go and check it out first, make sure nothing is dodgey, but if it is what it seems, then it's an awesome deal, all it needs is that turbo swapped for a GT3540 if anything, but even with the T4 it's mad

Another bit of advise Maybe work out what you want to spend 8 grand on and put the other 2 to the side as you will usually forget the small things As far as buying a built car you can often be buying someone elses head ****s so be very careful

if i had a 10k to do a build again, i would do what luke_vl did, a N/A bottom end (stock) with a Rb25 head with custom cams, using the std inlet manifold. Ex side custom manidfold with a 35/40 and a good ECU. he made 460HP at the rears behide a rb25 gearbox. 460hp behide a 5 speed will keep anyone happy. other wise you will do it the hard way (like myself) and go a Rb26/30 with a T51r SPL, 2 speedglide......list goes on with all the problems aswell....lol

open an offshore account and stick it in there, so when the cops arrest you for dealing they can't seize it yo.

I think you should sit down and seriously think about what you're wanting to do. So far youve jumped at different engine combo's, purchasing a VL, and now a GTR... Just dont do something on a whim or you may regret it.

Just dont do something on a whim or you may regret it. nar thats not the case ive always liked the r32s... i had a think about it and id rather sell my car and put all the money together to buy a gtr rather than spend it on the vl becuase i know i will have to spend more on the vl later to get it to the specs that i want... no doubt i will spend more on the gtr in time but at least the gtr is a newer and more sophisticated car. they also cum with loads of power stock which is a good thing... and ben u can import r32 gtr's for $15,000-$18,000 with low km's and good condition straight from japan... another thing is that parts for vl's are getting scarcer whereas parts for jap cars are everywhere...

id spenk 2 k tidying up the car u have and bank the 8.vls are ghey.and a waste of money.imo once you go beyond a clean car with mild mods you are wasting money.sure if your pulling big money you can afford **** like that,but not many 18 year olds are.my mum and dad own 4 houses and can afford to sling cash around precisely because they didnt pump cash into **** like cars
