I'd be drooling over the R34 Skylines there instead of the new one. Can't you get those for around $20k USD (Vspec-II)?

There aren't many houses in Osaka on the 1/2 acre (600+ Tsubo land)....plus gaijin living there

I like it better than Tokyo. People are completely different here.

Lets just say I am involved involved in medicine.

And I moved here from an English speaking Country. I have lived here for close to half my life now(permanent resident) and barring any unforeseen circustances I will probably live here the rest of my life.

I am pretty sure you can get them for around that and cheaper.

I am still waiting for updates on when I can go and see the car...

Finnaly got a chance to go and see the car today. It is in good condition and I took it for a drive and it seems ok, but I am no mechanic so I am going to have it looked over at an independant Nissan dealer that services GTR's. More updates to come.
