hm why cant i quote?

£30k would not buy you a 450bhp R34. Well, I have yet to see one at that price with that power.

There was a black R34 on Autotrader with 550bhp about a year ago, it was less than £30k - ok, so it had about 80,000 miles on it but nevertheless, it was there. There's a red one on AT now which looks to be Stage 1 (just listed as 'power boosted' by Abbey Motorsport) for 30k, no mileage given though.

You certainly don't need to pay 45k.

I've never really looked into Skylines, but by the sounds of it I think I better had! I reckon the NSX has to be worth a test drive too. Cheers

Ok so maybe you can get a high power R34 if you don't mind a high mileage for its age. As far as I knew nobody had done that sort of mileage in their R34. I hope they have done the 3000 mile oil changes!
