Should i trade my z for a r34 gtr?

Glambutang · 06-12-2013, 12:34 PM

Ok so i need some advice here, its been only two month since i got my 370z and im in love with it and really was not planning to part with it in near future. But recently a friend of mine offered his legal r34 gtr for a good deal, pretty much its almost equal trade for my z. Should i go for it or just stick with the z?

What's the condition of the car???

Define "legal". Most of the "legalized" ones really weren't. Most ones I've seen (and that's a very small number) had the VIN swapped from another Nissan model. I'd make sure I had all the paperwork. Also, check maintenance parts availability. It's a used car. Waiting for weeks to get it back up and running would suck. Other than that, it's an unbelievable car.

Its is one of those few that were registered by motorex, its is up and running i will test drive it late this week

If the R34 is in good running shape that I could legally title and drive on the streets, I'd be all over it.

kenchan · 06-12-2013, 12:44 PM

i would keep your 370Z.

if that was a R35 + cash for a good deal and you like AT, then story is different.

Weren't a lot of those siezed by feds because Motorex didn't actually legalize them? I'd walk if it's a Motorex car. Aren't those guys in jail for fraud on a federal level?

Glambutang · 06-12-2013, 12:49 PM

Yea the fraud was because they took money from people to import the cars and ran away with it, but there were few cars that actually got a title and have all clean paperwork

enkei2k · 06-12-2013, 12:49 PM

Motorex only did the legalizing process on R33 GTRs. So technically only those are 'legal'.

I'd rather keep the Z only because I won't have to worry about feds, the possibility of it being impounded, fanbois, etc.

I think they all went to jail for fraud. I am pretty sure.

Yep. That's what I remembered. I'd run away from anything that had their stink on it. It would suck unbelievably bad to trade your Z and have the R34 get siezed. It does happen.
