I've found a few R34s here and there. I'd really like a blue one. The only one I found in the right color was over $90,000. I have seen a few Silvias for around $50,000. Cost is a big factor in my purchase. I'd like to buy something that is race ready and not need much work. Still probably won't drag with it. I've dumped over $80K in my Roush and have a 1970 Mach 1 Mustang that I'm restoring. I just don't have the time to dedicate to these things.

Bayside Blue? Classic 34 color. To set up a GTR for drag would take up a lot of time & money. Cost a lot less if u take it for track work.

Exactly! Some suspension, brakes, roll cage, a few motor bolt ons and you're all set.

Found this R34 a little cheaper than most, but I've never heard of the company and it's the wrong color:

They've got a nice looking S15 as well for a fair price.

Though they were not emissions compliant in the states?

You can register them as "kit cars" if you want to drive them. Some places in the US don't check emissions. I want one to race, though. Load it up to take it to/from the track. there are a few shops that will add modified exhaust systems to include US spec pollution control if someone wanted to go that route as well.

I heard there were no crash test done. Motorex's involvement in them is steep in rumours & accusations apparently.

LOL...I hope the transplant is a success.
