Help Me Get My First Skyline Purchase Right!

[jukic.j]

Hey

So I have been a Skyline fan since I was a kid and unfortunately never had opportunity to make a car purchase a Skyline... Until now! I'm looking to get something cheap for my first one but still an R34, turbo, manual. something I can put my business logo on AND be the beginning of my motor sport for me.

I think I have it nailed down to these 2 cars but i'm open to similar if you see any!

The basic pro differences to my eyes are

Navy:

FMIC

19 inch Akita wheels

Adjustable rear camber arms

171,000KM

White:

Heavy duty clutch

Drilled and slotted rotors with extreme motorsport pads

Turbo timer

138,000km

Here is my assumed on road costs. Let me know what you recommend and why

NAVY BLUE

Purchase $9,500

Insurance $304

Registration $1,037

Coil packs $600

TOTAL COST $11,441

WHITE

Purchase $11,500

Insurance $304

Registration $0?

TOTAL $11,804

Im pretty sure theres a thread on here somewhere about buying a skyline and what to look for.

Chuck up a link to the cars, people might be able to help more with more info

Have you done a revs check on the cars?

Why's rego so expensive on the blue one?

How much do you know about cars?

Will you be doing work yourself?

What colour do you like? White is easier to keep clean than blue

Watch out for accident damage. check all structural panels and for all the seam welds, also thoroughly check under the body,

^^^^^DO NOT listen to the person above. While the above advice might actually be helpful , you never know when the trolling will start , hence disregard everything he says.

The guide posted above is your best friend.

That is all.

I'd go with a car that has 33000 less k's than the other, but that's just me.
