Hey guys

New to the forums. I've been lurking for a long time but decided to finally join up.

I currently own a 2004 Holden Monaro (pretty standard, just the usual mods exhaust, cold air and tune. Currently produces 260rwkw) I've owned this car for 8 years and I love it but I've been wanting a GTR now for a long time. The Monaro was purchased with 15,000km on the clock and was an ex Holden car. It now has 46,000km on the clock as it very well looked after. It's basically a weekend/summer car.

I have a few people who are interested in it should I sell it. Which at the moment is looking likely.

I've driven an R32 before and loved it. I'd be happy with any model GTR as long as it's relatively clean and fairly standard. I'm starting to do my research on the net and on these forums. (if you have any good threads for me, please point me in the right direction)

A friend of mine owns a Skyline and has given me a heap of advice so I know what I'm in for. At this stage, I think I'm leaning towards an R33. It just seems like the best value for money. I'll have approx 35k to spend so it really puts an R34 out of my price range.

I look forward to hopefully purchasing a GTR soon and coming out to meet some people on these forums.

Thanks

Wow what a fantastic budget man! Good luck in your search. I wonder if you could possibly get an R34 gtr imported for that amount?

$35K is right on the money for a very nice 33 GTR with a bit of work done to it or standardish one with some coin left over for servicing and mods.

This one looks pretty decent just a bit of a hike to check it out.

Hey guys

Bit of an update. Monaro has been sold and I've spoken to the minister of finance... she has given me approval to step the budget up a little so I'll be looking for a nice R34 GTR.

Looking at importing through Jspec. I just need to sort some things out and should be good to go within a month.

If I did run across a nice one locally I'd snap it up, but currently prices are almost 10-20k above what I'd be able to import one over for. Really excited. I'm going to miss the Monaro but I know I'll be happy once I get a GTR. I always wanted a R34 and I knew if I got an R33 I'd probably always question myself for not getting the R34.

I'll be signing up to Skylines Victoria shortly so I look forward to meeting some of you.

Cheers

You won't regret it mate. Just make sure you wait for the right car and have all the proper inspections done before settling.
