A lot of money for a track only car.... but you have to try and work out how much money and time it would take to build a R34 GTR into a kick-ass track car :S
still...

Damaged R34 from a performance car breakers somewhere and build it up ready for next year or 2 years time? you'd change practically everything on it anyway so aslong as it's straight the damage wouldn't matter too much would it? unless regulations wouldn't allow you to use an already wrote off car? haven't a clue, but would that not be an idea seeing as you have cash sitting? you could always buy a nice road car for a year or so then, rather than ploughing all your money in to something upfront.
Imagine how fun it would be building one up in that spanking new garage 
I'm sure you could get an R34 shell from somewhere...

R34. I've seen a few 996/997 Turbo's and although they are pretty special, they just don't have the wow factor of an old Nissan

R34 for me
You can even get a R35 for the price of some of these track porkers you've posted

Danny - we tried to reshell the R32 into a R34 this winter.
We looked for a month and a bit bit couldnt find anything really.

yes - but read my earlier comments....
The track porker would be a track car... to get an R35 to that leval on track (sustainable, safety gear etc) would cost A LOT.

Nothing in Japan or America you could import Adam, although you've probably already looked...I would imagine there would be lots of them sitting about the place, already full caged ex drift cars or what ever, rotting away in yards and such.

EX drift cars will be RWD GTT's...
there only about 7000 R34 GTR's.... very very very few in the US I'd think. They are cherished in Japan, and popular in Aus/NZ

we dont have cash sitting for a new car just now... feckin skint at the moment with so much going on just now.
Just future planning/thinking
so not really an option to build a 34 whilst using the 32.
There is a limited amount we could use from the 32... engine, diff, seats etc... poss save about 10k on building a 34.
Swap engine from 34 to 32, pop OE diff back in and hey presto we still have a working R32 to sell/use etc
Finding a 34 that has limited damage would be brilliant - even rear 1/4 damage is fine as it would ultimatly end up with wide rear arches Anyone know where one is hiding for not a lot of cash?
I think you're still talking well over 5k just for a bare 34 GTR shell.... the shells are different to GTT's so cant use them. GT4's have the 4WD layout but not the wide rear... BUT are mega rare in UK

i'll try and price up a R34 GTR purchase and turning into comparable spec to the R32 we have
car - 20k (can prob sell a couple of K's worth), so even it out to 17k maybe :S
cage - 2k fitted
brakes - different from R32 but can maybe use calipers with new brackets - 2k
wheels - 1k
tyres - 1k
Suspension - 3k
Bushes/Braces/susp arms - 1.5k
Clutch - 1500
seats - 700
harnesses - 400
lightweight parts, windows, doors, boot etc - 2k
aero - 600
engine (to build our from fresh if needed, inc turbos, exhaust etc) - 15k
rear diff - 2k
fire ext - 300
thats 50k so far......
We could save maybe 10-15k of that by swapping bits and bobs from the R32 GTR though... i.e engine, seats, diffs (to lower gearing on 34), clutch.

Wouldnt say horrific but definately worth factoring before you buy one.
IIRC its 50hrs between rebuilds.

50hrs....
let me see,
A full day trackday is prob 2-3hrs on track solid, TA about 1hr
7hrs for TA, say 15 x 3 = 52hrs a year roughly...
hmm
we currently re-fresh the GTR yearly and went through 3 boxs last year

Fuck me sideways
Have you considered other one make series cars for a track dedicated machine and a 996T for the road?
Pretty sure Oly's R53 CooperS ran 57-58s round knockhill with only ~210hp. They can be had for ~£10k iirc.
