Hi guys,

I thought I would start a thread and tell you what ill be doing with my 97 gts-t spec 2 type m skyline in the next year.

I won’t be doing any major mods to the car really; I just want a nice looking road car that can size up when it needs to. I started off by adding a 3 inch dump pipe to the already 3&1/2 cat back (also a hks air filter). Next ill be adding a profec e01 boost controller and large front mount and at the same time replacing the front wing. Then some 18" rims are on the cards. That should leave me with a nice quick car that looks nice and pretty :). After all that I will probably 2-3k worth of audio in.

I was planning to drive this around for a year then sell it and buy a 98-99 r34 gt-t or a 93-95 r33 gtr.

Then start the mod process again, although maybe more heavily then my first attempt.

What do you think of my idea?

sounds like you have lots of money to waste!!! :)

save your money, buy the right car the first time and do all your modifications once.

half the time people spend too much money picking the right car for them whilst the other half of the time the car is spent in a workshop being worked on - where do you find time enjoying the car!?

buy the right car for you and your budget, plan your mods and enjoy the car. cars are meant to be driven. they werent supposed to be sitting in a garage. :headspin:

you're better off buying a car with modifications already done to it. it is well known that you never get your money back on modifications when you sell the car again. so why buy a car and do it up, where the modications you have listed can be found commonly amongst most lines. either add mods, keep the car for a long time, or save your dough and get the sweet gtr.

I reckon that if you can afford it skip the R34 GTT and goe straight to GTR. The amount of stamp duty that you will lose to the govt alone buying 3 cars over 20 grand would be in the vicinty of 3+ G's.

Thus purely on a not funding the govt for no reason i vote fot the GTR.

yeah I forgot that they made 32's all the way up to 95.

I wanted to do the mods to the gts-t so its enjoyable to drive while i have it... but i want to sell it before it lsoes to much value.

might not even bother with mags and stereo and just got the ebc and front mount put on soon and get a new front wing/bar what ever its called put on at the same time.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
