Having said that, a friend paid £11.5k for a GTR about 6 months ago and it lasted 24hrs 
Bought it from a trader who he's had to take to court and its doubtful he will get his money back even though he won the case.

Dont actually have any cars for sale, I dont sell cars ... I think I do however have if not your friends car someone in a similar position along with about six others.
You are right however, I was harsh and for that I apologise however look at it from my side as a repairer. So many people buy into these cars without the slightest comprehension of what they are buying and seem oblivious if not surprised at the cost of the repair when it all goes wrong.
A 50K car is still a 50K car regardless of the fact you bought it for under 10K, the fact it sold for less than the sum of its parts does not make those parts any cheaper to repair or maintain.
So at 5.5K what I am now trying polietly to say is you are at the arse end of an already depressed market full of vehicles that are teetering on a knife edge of a hefty repair bill.
I am just being realistic about both your chances and the reality of skyline ownership, I should know I have owned and still do own one. I work late and avoid labour bills on mine and its still (next to the wife obviously) the sigularly most expensive toy I own.
I can honestly wish you the best of luck but what I said was true and I say it to all my customers, buying the car is the easy part, its keeping it on the road that will break you.
