Hi all, I am new here, and I have some questions for ya all. I am from Singapore, and I will be coming over to Australia to study soon. Perhaps I may even find a job there after I am done studying.

I am also a HUGE fan of Skylines. Reading through the forum I have got an idea of the cost of a used one. Are new ones available for sale?

I am keen on a R34 GTR, and I was wondering how much would it cost brand new (or is it even available for sale)?

A new one in my country costs about $250,000++ to hit the road. And my currency is almost the same as AUD.

And I can't even customize the engine and exhaust parts. Can't do this....can't do that....bah.

Nutz.

y bother studying if u got that kind of money

If you read my post carefully, you'll see that I did not say that I have $250K to burn, I merely stated that a showroom R34 costs $250 big ones and then some to drive one here where I am at. :shake:

Oh yea, here's some more bits for ya alls to chew on:

Toyota Corolla 1.6 GLi = $89,900 :P

Proton Wira 1.5 = $67,888

I assume for the a/m prices I can get a good, used R33 or similar with some hops?

Crazy huh? That's Singapore for ya!

Yeh I went to singapore last July.

Nice City ... except i was fully aware of the car prices and I couldnt believe it. I was told while I was there that you cant own a car thats more than 10 years old (except all your taxi's are driving OLD corolla's) ... anyway ... pretty insane huh?

singapore roxors! awesome city/country.

anyways, an R34 GTR 2nd hand here would cost about say... 90K, possibly up to 100K and might even get one for mid 80's.

check out these sites, they sometimes have some listed.

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
