lol wtf man you're a green Pplater in a GTR

i dunno how you afforded that car but must've worked hard for that! you're a lucky buyer

as for your friends saying you would've been better off in a GTST

man - what a bunch of fags???

i have a nissan cefiro at present moment i've had since i was 19 i'm now 24 and just considering selling it

anyone that tells me "why didn't you get a newer car"

is soon followed by "ohhhh i suppose i see why you favour the older ones"

your friends are retards man

get some new friends...ones that aren't spastic..

Is this your daily or your weekend car?

Are you doing lots of km's?

Yes they're an expensive car, if kept as standard as possible you should have very few issues, both GTST/GTR's can be expensive to fix.

For example, clutch install on GTR = $400 labour, GTST=$200, but these are not things you do all the time.

Also, if you don't start modifying you shouldn't have much of an issue, if you go high boost or aftermarket turbo's and blow the engine the rebuild might be 6K if you take out the engine, but if you stay low-boost you should be fine.

Just look after the oil changes et cetera, you can do them yourself :P

Had mine for a year, yeah, it uses more fuel than my Wifes Corolla, but around town it is no worse that my old mans VX Commonwhore. Also has been running upto 20psi, on what turns out to have been stock ceramic turbos. I think they really are just a car that moreso will give back what you give them. Look after them and you will not have any trouble.

*Spun big-ends- Keep maybe an extra 1/2 a litre of oil in it, and spend 30secs a week checking it, mine never moves, but even that is nice to know.

(20v Corolla motors are far worse for this, exhaust goes straight under the Sump and literally cooks the oil, seen one with 2 inchs of sludge after having fresh oil at the start of a rally)

*Blown turbos- Don't run too much boost until you put steel ones on there, I used 20psi many times with stockies on there, (thinking that the way everyone carried on they had to have been steel, because the car was running 20psi from Japland, and "Ceramic turbos explode at 16psi, the first time they ever get there")

Sure for the money you could have bought a newer Rex or Evo... And then you would be kicking yourself when your first gearbox let go....

A mate spent $25,000 on a brand new Kia not long ago, telling me "I really want a Skyline but having a kid etc, want a good reliable family car" Stereo doesn't work, Power windows are intemitent, likewise the wipers, does'nt go into 4th when it is cold, and sometimes when it is warm..... and even worse now it is worth about $15000....

P.S, car looks great, look after it and it will look after you.
