Hey guys new to the forums, just in the same boat as u, thinking about buying a R32 GTR later this year, Personally i love the GTR, common they got banned from bathurst but besides that, any car that isnt maintained properly is gona cost money to repair, luckily for me i chose to become a mechanic so the only price its gona cost me to fix is parts (wich i get at a lower price ) and food for feeding myself whilst working, i was gona attempt to trade in my current car when i buy my GTR but think it might be wise to keep it just incase, look when u think about it the car is a GTR it was built for one thing to be driven and driven with performance in mind so yes the car is gona be thrashed, you just have to look for signs where they have been, eg your suspension takes a hammering, engine mounts, gearbox mounts because you are placing extra force on the components, listen for synchro noise when changin gears, check for leaks etc etc there are just basic things to look for on any car
Im looking forward to owning a GTR and owning a masterpiece of engineering
