I dunno if it's different over there, but here you can only get certain ones (I think ones older than 25 years old). So you're likely to either spend a lot on a really good condition one, or buy a cheap one that needs a lot of work and pay a lot in parts. Bound to be all kinds of shipping and import fees/taxes. Just my guess, but I'm guessing it's not exactly a cheap thing to acquire here.
Supras are legal here and aren't too rare (a hell of a lot less rare than Skylines, for sure). Dollar for dollar you could probably get a higher performance car out of the Supra than the Skyline, just because it's availability is a lot higher.
Your car is pretty awesome though, I'd love to own it.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Maybe by the time it's old enough that I can legally import it I'll actually have the money to do it 
It's my favorite generation.

I would say we have a very similar taste in foreign vehicles MkIV supra is my dream  I've always wanted to build a 200mph supra There's a really really really nice rx-7 for sale down the street from me I might pick up though

when i lived in japan, in the Navy, I had a nissan skyline turbo. That fucker was fast. got it for $2000 because americans didn't have to ay the two year inspection tax like Japanese did, so we got used cars dirt cheap. Me and a friend used to go to Nago city and pick up japanese bitches from Tokyo at the resort there. Until I got a ticket for doing 230kph on the Naha-Nago toll highway and I got banned by the Navy from driving on that highway.
Even after I got my license back.

RX7 would be on my list too. 3000 Gt would be another, not so much the performance but I absolutely love it's body.

My buddy had a nicely built 3000 GT. Sold to his dad though and picked up a 270sx that he dropped a carbed v8 into and made it a drift missile. The 3000 GT was dubbed the "three stack"

I'm not unaccustomed to working on cars that are fucking ridiculous to work on. Sometimes I don't think the engine in my Sonata can even lift out. They must've just teleported that shit in.
