5 Type R

Can anyone confirm what colour the Type R was available in????

I have been told that it wasnt officially available in white and it would have been a special order???????????????

I have seen a few others but only 2 Version 5's and 2 Version 4'S???????

Any info anyone??

white is actually the most popular colour in Japan - it's just not many people over hear like white.

White cars are generally cheaper than other cars.

I think you are right about people not wanting them in the UK , as I saved loads by having it in white. The equivalent was available at the time in blue with slightly higher mileage and was a clear 5 large ones more expensive!!!!!!!!!!!

My mate also got hold of a R33 Skyline prepared by HKS Tokyo with receipts to the equivalent of £17K for mods for about £6K cheaper, purely because it was in White!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strange as I think they look most aggressive in White!!!!!!!

Horses for courses and personal preference and all that I guess

yep, white ones are cheaper, or is it other clours are more expensive?

Either way in my experience white cars are far more common in Japan, some cars really show off the lines in white - when clean!
