  1. With interest rates this low, I would be thinking about buying a house or at least saving up for a deposit. Wait a few years then use equity to buy yourself a newish car or another property. I know you dont work full time so you may struggle to get a house loan but buying a pricey car when you are still on minimum wage is not the best idea. I borrowed 5 K while working casually and studying, let me say I will not do it again. I paid it back within 11 months but I paid way more than 5 K back to them. Stay car free if you can, use your mums car. Then once you graduate and get a proper job... go nuts. Dont look for the easy way, esp when it comes to money. If you bust your balls now, save and invest for the long run, you will reap the benefits later on. Car debt is bad, home loan debt is good (as long as your property grows in value). Cars depriciate, houses (land content) appreciates.
  2. Its fully synth, they can easy last 10,000 KMs infact Ive read that changing fully synth oils before 10,000 KMs is pointless.
  3. Coupe? Where u get it from?
  4. Read: http://nissanskyline.6te.net/tuning_GTS25T.htm
  5. Yeah Prius is great on fuel. So I dunno i might just put my corolla on the market and sell it if I get a good price then just drive around in the Prius and keep the cash or wait till I come across a really clean R34... was c onsidering going to SSV in Huntingdale (good car yard) but they usually charge a lot more for their cars. I bought my R33 there in 2006 for 18 K and sold it for 13 K in 2008.
  6. WHAT? It says Pickup only There is NO way would I buy them just for that reason!
  7. Anywhere between 40-60 seconds is enough. The important thing is to stop revving the car 5 mins prior coming to a complete stop. Turbos dont like running hot and then when you stop the engine, you stop the oil flow to them.
  8. 1000 KMs on one tank, city driving is easy. It actually uses around 4 litres per 100 KMs as long as you dont go over 60 KM/h to much IMO. It uses mostly battery power right up until 45 KM/h. They do look bland but they can grow on you like most cars. My GF did the right thing as far as economy goes on petrol. Yeah that R34 front bar is the best with those slits on the side... I love it. I think 2000 + models have it.
  9. lol why u selling? ur car is a project perfection Allso me in melb
  10. Yeah I bought a house and wanted an economical car that will last for ages... too bad for me the petrol prices went right down and interest rates fell flat!! I fixed my house loan as well! So now I am bored of the corolla, I had it for 6 months. The good thing is that imports have dropped heaps in value Ill keep my eye out for a clean r34. To top it all off my GF bought a Toyota Prius few weeks after I got my Corolla... so we have a very fuel efficient car... Id love something like this:
  11. Hi all, After driving my R33 series 2 for 2 years I sold it last year... and miss it so much now that I have a boring 07 Corolla... lol I was toying with the idea of checking out some R34 GTTs... Perhaps if I find the right one, I can trade or sell my Corolla and buy an R34. What is the current market for them now? I could imagine them going for anywhere from 19-25 grand for a clean one being more expensive. Ideally Im looking for a turbo tiptronic, silver and with no more than 70,000 KMs (I know most skylines have their clocks wind back). Any ideas on how much one would cost like this?
  12. Excellent post. If you think your mum and dad nag, wait till you start picking up after your GF her dirty socks and undies... and the dog crap... Seriously, you dont know how easy youve got at home... you are only 20... stay at home till your folks boot you... Your current priority should be finishing uni/trade and getting a real job. Then buying a house and renting it out... then once you have more money you can do as you please. Indepedence is a small price to pay for what you will be missing out on if you move out. Your GF is also only young and will not be looking after you unlike your mum and dad. Also be prepared to be broke a lot more often especially when the rent increases.
  13. How old are you?
  14. hey dude, u still got ur r33?
  15. As others have said, dont race on public roads. And yes your skyline will beat 5 litre v8s... not so much an Ls1.
  16. Nice looking Skyline... (best colour too) Keep it clean looking.
  17. Get some decent Dextron oil then a cooler for your auto tranny...
  18. Yeah most Supras are riced out too much. Their after market kits are ugly and most Supras have too many Ks... although Id love a 97-98 Supra with sub 80,000 KM mileage.
  19. I hear the 370Z is even better.
  20. Haha good spotting the statesman!
  21. Yes we know its NZ, but why non turbo? Are they chasing the skyline or just passing it by?
  22. ill laugh if I see it on TT or ACA.
  23. http://poststuff4.entensity.net/011609/fla...?media=cops.flv Chasing Skyline?
  24. Modena

    What To Get?

    Buy a series 2 R33 GTST. Go for around 14 K and still newish. Great also if you have limited skyline knowledge.
  25. The headlights are wierd. Previous model is better, the one with the big projector lights, not the shitty small ones.
