Should I Buy My Mates R33?

I reckon I've spent close to 5 times what I paid for mine over the years.

same here Michael.

around 5x what mine cost me.

On the contrary, I've spent approximately $0 'fixing' mine. Just the usual maintenance stuff, even daily drove it (standard engine + turbos).

As long as GT-R is standard and maintained properly, it'll run. But they are not a good daily driver (expensive to run). GTS-t would be better suited (my R32 GTS-t was an awesome daily, with R34 turbo it did 9L/100km).

Of course, as soon as you start wanting more power, costs blow out massively on the GT-R.

And don't do donuts as soon as you buy it.

But if you only want around 240ish kw the gtr would be better straight off the bat, if I'm not mistaken.

That is expensive. Like others have said, just walk away and let him sell it elsewhere.

FYI, I bought mine for $5800 2.5 years ago completely stock as a rock. It cost me about $700 to get it RWC, so $6500 in total.

And it's still quicker than my nugget around winton!

Hahaha exactly. Although some -7/-9 should net a nice 300kW figure.
