I am in exactly the same shoes you are in Abruzzi. I am planning on purchasing a line at the end of the year. And also, because of the same reasons, am a bit frightened off by the high fuel and insurance prices. My mum used to own a 2000 model celica and I can say that they are a fun car to drive. I am yet to sit in the cockpit of a skyline, but can say that I don't think you can really compare them. I was also thinking of buying the celica of my mum, but didnt, purely because of the fact that they are still seen as a "hairdresser's car", plus the fact that i want a factory turbo car. Let me know what you decide to purchase. My 2c. Gus.

Anywhere in Moorabbin/Cheltenham area I can get a prospective buy checked out? and a compression test? I have done an RACV check on another car before, but from what other owners have said, RACV love to hate imports. Cheers guys.

Good points guys. Petrol will be no problem, plus I have plans to get my hands on a power fc and some kind of ebc. Should have mentioned that one of the things that has me worried is reliability. At the moment I am driving a 92 Ford Falcon which is a work horse but a real bore to drive. Mods will be kept fairly simple as I'm not searching any numbers(will c if I can keep this mindset once i've purchased the car ). plans are power fc, ebc, fmic, tbe, air filter and other suspension and brake mods. I dont plan on keeping the ford. So am I gonna be spending most of time in hire cars while my car is in the workshop? or can someone here speak on experience and say I should be ok? Maybe a gtr would be a different story??

Hey guys, Been reading on this forum for quite some time now and now finally deciding do to some purchasing of an r33. what i was wondering is what peoples opinions are of an r33 gtst coupe(most likely series 2) being used as a daily driver. I have wanted one for quite some time now but because of age and insurance always decided against it. I am planning on using my line to take me to work and back everyday, which is a 40km drive(usually 1 hr), so 80km a day on weekdays. What I am basically asking -is this a bad idea in your opinion? What would be the pros and cons of this? Cheers guys.
