Conversion Question

[Da_Force]

Hello, I just registered.

Nice Forum, Clean look

So this is my first Post, I am owner of a VW Golf 3 TDI Station Wagon, and a Supra TT 6 Speed.

I live in Austria, so we drive on the other side of the street, so we don't have Skylines over here, and the

couple of Cars that made it over here sell for way to much.

What I want to know is wich R34 Skyline is the best base to Convert it to GTR? I would like to have the AWD too.

Interior does not matter to me.

Please be kind, I am just getting started with the Skyline Topic.

Best Regards

Ingo

PS: If sombody wants to know something about Supra's maybe I can help out.

Im not sure i understand your question.

Why would you want a R34 Skyline to "convert" to a GTR? Why not buy a R34GTR?

It would be an absolute nightmare of a job to take a R34 GT and turn it into a GTR with the entire engine, brakes, suspension and drivetrain!!!

Thanks for your quick reply

The reason is that I dont want to pay that much, also I dont need the suspension and the brakes, I can use Aftermarket Parts instead.

But I want the engine, drivetrain and AWD of the GTR.

Engine and Gearbox are not so hard o get, but I want to know wich car would be the best to start? What Parts do I need to change?

It will probably cost you very close to the same as buying a real GT-R, and once you were finished, you'd wish that you'd have gone and bought the real thing instead.

I think I will get a GTR, what do you think will the Price Increase or will it drop?

How much would you say is a good Price for a R34 GTR?

[mazgtr]

The price on any GTR R32-R33-R34, is going to drop. Very few cars can be seen as an investment, and the Nissan GTR aint one of them.

The GTR's that will do best on re-sale will be the rarer spin-offs. The NUR-SPEC R34 GTR should hold its value more so than a stock R34 GTR.

The other problem is the new Nissan GTR is due out in the next year or so, this will hurt re-sale even more.

Dont buy and own and run a GTR unless your willing to spend and lose a lot of your money, they aint that kinda car.

That is really nice because I dont care about the value, only if I have to pay it.

Thank you very much, I will wait until the next GTR is released and buy a R34 GTR then.
