The RWD R34's (2.5L 25GT-T) are reasonably priced ($10-$20k). Proper AWD GT-R's are still $30k+, $40k+ if you want clean low-mileage ones. When you add the cost to maintain and mod a GT-R, I'd rather just save a little extra and get a GT350 or a C7 Vette.....too bad C7 Vettes are ~$100k here.
Oh I'm pretty sure it would get old, but it would be more of a "check this off my bucket list type deal." Play with it for a year, get it out my system, eat the financial losses... and then melt the tarmac with a RHD GT350 like you said

Speaking of GT350, do they restrict things like Stang's and Vettes to that stupid 118mph Japanese governor or is that only in-house Jap cars?
