Hello Sa + Advice Needed

[Blazk]

G'day all,

Thought I would make my first post in my home town forum of SA / Adelaide. My name is Tobias, I'm 26 years old and a full-time graphic designer as well as a stay at home dad to my 2 year old daughter. I have saved for what seems like a lifetime and its time to get a car. Have around 15k to spend, so some advice in which model skyline would be great. I was looking at a r34 GTT...

Would love to get to know people here as my car knowledge is quite limited, so help and advice is welcome and very appreciated.

I love working on engines when I was growing up on the farm for most of my life, so I would be a good hand to have if anyone needs it, so let me know.

Hope to hear from the fellow SA skyliners.

Thank you for reading my little bio.

welcome

if you can get an r34 gtt within your budget, I say go for it

Sure you might be able to get a 32 or 33 but 34s are still relatively modern and a lot less expensive to maintain and keep on the road

there are some nice ones out there, look around, dont get rushed into any purchases - once you find the right one you'll know it

enjoy your stay

-D

[Madaz]

yeah i 2nd a R34 a lot more modern

[DSTROY]

I'd say get a Stagea, perfect family car with RB25 turbo power and there good for carrying pool tables around

[Blazk]

Thanks for your your replies so far. I feel very welcome here and love looking and reading around the forums, always been my dream to own a R34 since i first saw them come out back in the day. So i think a GTT would be a good first step below my dream r34-gtr.

P.S. LOL pool table.

Tell me about it. Being a dad and on a limited income as some of you may know can be very very tuff. I wish i had that much as that would be easy .

Here is the Ironchef skyline what do you think ?

looks like a bargain

gotta expect a few little bits of damage when you get a car imported

and the stuff listed is all minor

-D

[scandyflick]

yeah... not a skyline. close to your budget though.

[Madaz]

big Kev's stain remover will get that water stain out

love the nismo front bar i say go for it, chop chop

[Damo_R34]

Do it, youll only regret it a couple of times, try to sell it, but realise your way too in love with it and keep it!

[Madaz]

Hahaha or have sunk too much money into it to sell it so might as well track it

thats a very nice clean looking R34 there....just remember it has 104xxx kms on the clock so prob needs a 100xxx km service which will be nice and expensive.....i would be looking for a very very nice and clean 33 GTST Series 2 model for roughly 11-14K mark......if you can get a decent 34 for 15K well go for it but think about a few things like the 100xxx km service.....etc etc.....there are some very nice cars on car sales as well mate
