I'm Looking For A New Car Need Sum Advice

[FR33K]

Finally after going on 9 months of my car sitting at the panel shop, my insurance has finally desided that it isnt worth fixing and are just gonna write it off so now i have to move on . and thats where i need help i'll have bout 17-18k to play with. i would like a r32 gtr but everyone keeps telling me they're too old, too expensive to fix, an insurance will cost a fortune, so i would like to get the opinion of some one who actually owns one.

apart from the gtr im thinkin bout either another r33 gtst, a r34 gtt, or a chaser. but would consider pretty much anything (aslong as i can fit in the drivers seat, being 6'4" causes alot of problems).

[skipppy]

mmmm chaser tasty!!!

I have a 99 wrx with 76000kms, forged internals rebuilt not long ago, its my mrs car daily driven and its still registered in sa so no regency insp. and could do that sort of price for you

[Madaz]

SHHHhhh Skippy and Dan he asked for advice

33 GTR can be had pretty cheap over the docks in japland so low to mid 20's will see them over here

[sinistaGTR]

haha steve im giving good advice lol

[Madaz]

im guessing because the engine is forged you put a dogbox in too

[sinistaGTR]

nah lol cost too much but they do sound cool, anyways wrx's are good cars lol

[Nightcrawler]

You're a bit stuck in limbo Skyline-wise for that price. A decent R34GTT is over $20k (shitboxes can be had for less though). A decent R32GTR is over $20k (shitboxes can be had for less though). For that price range I would find a tastefully modded and mint condition R33GTSt that all the money has been spent, and you can just drive, rather than fix up all the time.

not interested in wrx's heard about and seen to many things gone wrong with a used wrx, news ok but out of my budget, i was told i could get a r32 gtr in really good condition landed and complied for 17k, but the more i have the better, as for the 33gtr it is a possibility, i mite be willing to increase my budget slightly if the right one come round, my boss picked up a really nice r34 4door a month ago for 16k, so they are out there just gotta be patient and keep an eye out...

Hey mate. Im the same, im 6'4 and used to drive a 33 s2 gtst then r34 gtt (both coupes). 33 feels way bigger in every way to r34, but i kind of missed my leg-room from the 33.

Like Nightcrawler said previously, ur budget is a bit borderline. I suggest you wait for a little bit longer and save up, in the mean time prices will fall even more, and then hopefully you can get a decent 33 GTR for around $22k mark.

So obviously 33GTR is my no1. choice for that money (and trust me i put a lot of thought into this as i sold my 34 GTT recently and almost got a 33 GTR, but then a house popped up and cars now on delay.)

Good luck !

hey mate. u said you were interested in a 32 gtr.... soooooo many things to consider and if you are going to buy one you will want it heavily inspected...

a thrashed gtr will cost you alot of money once things start going wrong but if you are lucky enough to find a good relatively standard example with a few handling mods GET IT

6 months later and im still grinning from ear to ear about mine.. even tho i cant drive it for 2 more months (liscence) i love going out and tinkering with it and just going over everything replacing the little things to make sure its all in good condition...

they are time consiming and requir patience.. especially with your right foot... on the other hand if you want to keep the revvs under 5 grand vast majority of the time... not too much should go wrong with a good example...

if your planning on getting a car to keep for a long time get a 32 gtr maintain it and mod it tastefully to your needs.... the sky is the limit with these things... and the wallet is the other limit.

extremely safe cars if treated correctly

good luck with your descision

Bought an R32 GTR about 9 months ago and havnt looked back since. Had a few issues at the start but just make sure you get it thouraly inspected before purchase. The car you buy really depends on what your personal tastes are. If your keen on an R32 dont let the age be a barrier as there are plenty of clean examples still out there if you look hard enough.

Whats with R32 GTR's and ppl losing their licence's LOL (lost mine recently). I'd get an R32 GTR, Mine was $24 without all the on road shit ya gotta pay but get a decent stock one and sould be around 20. Shouldnt take long to save up abit extra? Well worth it. but yeh, like every one else has stated, get it heavily inspected.
