Here's an idea, buy a R33 GTS-t OR R34 GT-t, de-rego it and just store it.

Buy a P plater fun, stock car, enjoy it. Then once you're ready, sell and play with the whooshy break oil pump Skyline.

Sounds great but, I'll either be too tempted to take it out or it will be pushed out of the garage by my family at some stage. Although I could buy one 2 years into green ps...

This seems like something that would have been a good option 5 years ago - in today's climate it seems like a really really poor investment.

 

I honestly think unless you have some sentimental attraction towards Skylines - they really aren't that impressive a car. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't trade mine for anything and I have a massive soft spot for any Skylines I see (especially ones that are being tracked) - but if you're going in thinking about resale and how you're going to sell it in a few years, then unless it's a GTR I would stay well away and go for a more modern car.

Ignore rusting Japanese cars from the 90's, nostalgia and dogecoins drove prices up, not worth it unless you're a drug dealer.

I'd get something cheap to insure, get full license then get something with B48/B58 or new 400Z

I brought a NA R34 a few years ago. Its a good fun 6k car. not a good 15-20k car. Def go something more modern

They've been around for 23 years, they'll be around in another 4 haha. Who knows what they'll be selling for though 🙄🙄🙄

In my experience, get the car you can’t buy in 5, 10 or 15 years. I’ve had 32s, 180sx, xr8 and sold them all only to realise later they are out of reach due to cost or quality available. I’ve now got 34, got it 3 years ago before prices started going up and I’m slowly getting parts to turbo swap. Will be something I never sell and probably work on for the next 30 years.
