Hi guys,

I'm a new member to this forum. So I still have a lot to learn....?????

Anyway with all these talks about finding and owning a GTR. I was just wondering anyone could give me some hints on their occupations, as with my current job I won't be able to own one until I'm 50. By then I will look like a try hard.

Cheers,

I plan to win lotto and buy this hell nice R34 GTR i've seen at a shop in sydney... :( that's the easiest way to do it... i just keep forgetting to buy lotto tickets... lol

i see a lot of drug dealers with nice cars... lol.... hmmm other than that, no idea... lol

I can only concur with Leewah, work hard and save. If price is the motivating factor, go for an R32, they'll set you back around 20-25K (anybody feel free to correct me here). Otherwise if you want an R34, start saving your pennies, and open a managed investment account, stockmarket's gonna give good returns this year :P (just some friendly unsolicited financial advice... geez, my degree does come in handy!)

If you have been working for 6mths or more fulltime than almost any bank these days will give you $25k without too much of a struggle. Then you only need to save another $15k and your home!

Of course, I wouldn't recommend this but hey it will work if you -really- want to get a GTR (and pay $60k for it instead of $40k for it :P)

Argh, argh aaaaarrrggghhh car loans!!!!! Sorry, just had to say that, but those things are evil just like credit cards. :P

I've been there, it's a much better feeling when you own it outright. There's no struggling to make payments, especially with 25K, it'd be at a fair rate of interest too, probably twice that of a house loan.

Does anybody know if they let you mod the car if it's under finance?

Best thing to do is start with something a little more realistic, IE a r33 GTSt.

My plan is spend some money on my GTSt, that way i learn the car/engine etc and get myself a good base of preferred Panel/Paint and Mechanical places.

Then sell the Gtst for around 20K, Goto the bank, show them i have a 20K deposit for it already, borrow 20K easily and pay it off in 1-2 years.

Going from basically nothing to a GTR is not a good idea.

They are very dangerous cars in the wrong hands.

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
