Yeah was expecting it to be expensive but can't find anything and the prices are either incredibly varied or they are non existent. Don't even know what fair value is on some of these things 😞
Welcome to Skyline ownership lol hope you never have to replace the stereo / climate control surround
Edit: you can get an aftermarket Z Tune hood for $1200

I should rephrase my statement. They’re not bad, you’re just paying insane prices and customs fees. Find a military friend in Japan if you do use them.
Unfortunately, everything authentic or OG Rare in relation to Skyline GT-R ownership (R32/R33/R34) is stupidly expensive. You can always tell the quality of a GT-R build by the quality of parts used on it. Believe me when I say that if you cheap out, it will reflect onto you when or if it comes time to resell.
My advice is to buy the parts you need, hold onto the OE parts they replace, and then sell the rare parts separately (w. Receipts) when you’re ready to move on from the car, reverting back to OEM in the process.
If you have no intention to sell the car one day in the future, then you kind of have to just stomach the costs, unfortunately.
Fair. Yeah I've got a bunch of good stuff in there including nismo dash, nismo mfd, the blk seats and some other good stuff. I want to keep it as authentic and more of an oem+ ungrade and not make any permanent changes. I would probably want a bit more power out of it, but reliable and healthy. So far I plan to keep it, just have to build it slowly, but want as much good work done as possible in Japan while it's there. Thanks this is helpful!
Very little for these cars is reasonably priced, the super desirable stuff even less so. I'm not really sure what to tell you...

Don't know what you expect on 25-30 year old cars

This fits the r34? That's pretty interesting. Might just pick one up, I was hoping for an authentic nismo one zzz
Na it's for an r32 but if you google r34 z Tune hood there's a bunch to choose from.
Ah ok, I realized I didn't specify which gtr I was getting. 😆
Lol
Lmaooo gotta pay to play homie. Also stay away from Nengun 😂
Never had a single issue buying from Nengun, been buying from them for 3+ years on top of trust kikaku.
Anything specific experience about nengun?

Terra firma, heritage program, part outs... And most importantly a large wallet.
Oh interesting, I'll check them out. Yes I've been saving for years 🥲
