Dont buy a GTR unless your prepared to fix one thing after another.

If you buy the right one, you won't need to

Buy a GTR, and join the whingers :)

Not all of us are whingers, just spend the right money on one in the first place, take your time and buy with your head and not your heart and you'll be fine. I've often walked away from "the perfect deal" because something hasn't felt right and ended up buying a more expensive car. At the end of the day a few more grand on the purchase price could possibly save you ten fold down the track

and if wanna look cool, buy a silvia.

but back to the point at hand;

you dont have to be prepared to spend $20k fixing one thing after another when you buy a gtr, or any other car for that matter.*

while some 'too good to be true bargains' are the real thing, a $13k modded gtr with 11ty billion kw's and sub 100,000ks on the clock is never going to be a good idea. use whatever intelligence you were born with and cultivated through experience since then (a stretch for some, i know, sucks to be you) to sort the good from the bad. be realistic, dont jump on the first example you come across screaming "OMG GTR!" and thinkin about all the 'bitches itll pull' (gotta buy a silvia for that) and youll be fine.

... or, for the enjoyment of everyone else, you can go out and buy your chosen shit box (in this case, a pre 94 gtr) against everyones advice and your own good sense, and everyone else can laugh at you.

*notable exceptions being track cars. their purpose dictates a shorter parts lifetime.

car looks good, but I'd save a bit more and get something a bit newer...33, 34

and Evo lacks top end grunt

Hmmm, don't know about that Andz.

Find me a track anywhere in SA (be it 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile, circuit or hillclimb) where a stock Skyline can outrun a stock EVO :D

I hope you forgot the itallics.

Stock GTR's are doughy pieces of shit, they are just a good base to start from. Oh and EVO's are a better base to start from and shit all over GTR's for bang for buck.

Stock EVO 6.5, 7, 8, 9 or 10 with boost will pull 250kw and do 1:18's on semi'saround Mallala. where as GTR's with 15K put in them still don't pull those times. and you can this stock EVO for under 20k.

I had a 92' with no issues :). My mate who had a 94' GT-R chewed a bearing. if its going to happen, it'll happen...

But that GT-R is a disaster waiting to happen.

I wanted an 89' being the first of the R32 GTR's, or I wouldnt of mind a 94' but first choice was 89' and in gunmetal grey.

I probably wouldnt of spent so much on the GTR if I didnt have a habit of impulse buying stuff that I probably really didnt need ;)

Brother in laws Evo 7RS running 25psi on pump fuel 260 awkw on steve knights dyno. Slight change though as it's running a 10.5 rear from another model evo.

EDIT!! It has a 3 inch exhaust as well but thats still a stock car in my book.
