thanks for the inputs and advices folks i will keep looking and take my time like you all advice me. i will find as much info as i can about the car too. but sooner or later ... i will have one of those beatiful creations!

hmm .. i see ... So the maintenance is quite high i conclude .. i also just read a thread about the running cost of a gtr 32 .. like we have to change the oil every 3 months, etc .. plus the insurance .. and many more running costs .. it is really for the enthusiast i think this car is really for... or someone who use it as the second or weekend car ... not for every day use unless one prepares for all the associated expenses ... now i understand more why not many peeps prefer a non gtr model ... but maaan! .. just how nice is the r32 gt-r

Thanks for the input guys. really appreciate it.. I like.. actually love .. 32 gt-r because of the model. i don't really care about how fast it is or how strong the machine is. i am more than happy to get a slow (well what i mean is not the most powerful ones out there =P) as long as the condition is good and won't cause lots of troubles later on. guess i am more toward the ones least modified .. but i guess it's hard to find one these days with that condition isn't it Jeez but i am really scared now to have 1. i have also asked some people and they said the same things. That's right maybe I have to be really careful. Gotta test one properly before buying it. But when you test it, does the test really tell you everything you need to know about the condition of the car? Do you know where the place to properly test it? And when you test drive one, what must you put attention to particularly? any strange sounds or anything? guess i asked a lot of questions here . honestly i am really new to skyline. dat's why i really need lots of advices from all of you before jumping into one, especially gtr. again guys, thanks a lot for the inputs .

When you say we have to fix or replace this and that after purchase, is it because: - the car is old? because of the age we have to replace the parts (necessity - something that we have to do), OR - the previous owner pushed the car to the limit and therefore damaging the car? what i mean is: is this age-related or human-related factor? what about buying the one that has undergone engine rebuild? after the engine rebuild does it guarantee the car is running well provided the owner didn't push it hard again =P Thanks

Hello guys, I am thinking of getting GT-R 32. But I have a concern. I have been looking in the carsales.com.au in the last couple of months, but why is it that even though there are a couple of cheap ones, no one wants to buy them? Is there a major factor that ppl would rather choose r33 non-gtr or other non-gtr skylines for the same or slightly higher price? Thanks for all your inputs in advance. I have to really give them a thinking before deciding to get one.

Man I'm really sorry to hear that... It is a really pretty car my friend. There is nothing I can say except I really do hope you can get her back one way or another. Don't give up the hope mate. Unfortunate things happen, but that means fortunate things do happen too rite? U never know =)

Hi guys, I'm new to skyline. I've been reading this forum all day long and coming across the term "Engine Rebuild" so many times, particularly when someone wants to buy a skyline. Sorry if a lot of ppl have already asked this before .. but erm what exactly is rebuilt/changed in the engine? And how much does it cost on an GTR R-32? You can just tell me the link so I can go there and read it myself to save you guys time . but thanks for explaining. cheers.
