Just Written Off My Car

[fireupgaz]

thanks for the info emsta and everyone else.

ill let you's know how it all goes

[700HP-GTR33]

hi guys,

i have just written off my 1998 celica after some clown failed to stop at a roundabout and slammed into my left side at 70km/h. I have been planning to get something else for the past year cause i just started getting sick of the power, or lack there of, of the celica. Dont get me wrong they're a great sports car and extremely reliable (I thrashed that thing so f*@ken bad), but i just got over it. Great for a first car tho.

So after the accident the first thing i did when i got back from the hospital was get on carsales.com and start lookin for a new car.

My budget is around $27k. My first thoughts were supra. I have admired these beasts of a car since i was 12. Luv the looks, luv the power and torque especially (very important), but nowadays they're just so old!! most examples in aus are atleast 12 years old with plenty of kays. i have also neva been in one. All my knowledge for them has come from mates, mags and the net.

My otha option is an R34 GTT. After i took a ride in my mates one, i fell in love. It had a nismo b/kit, full exhaust and the rest was stock but i still loved the power, the response, the looks and interior of the thing. they're both at a similar price but with the supra its a much older car with much more kays.

What would you guys do?

Insurance isn't a problem.

cheers

Rob.

Hello ,

After being in a 1998 model car ,it is not right to get into an older model than you drove before,

unless it is a true classic eg. wide bodied porsche,old triumph etc...There are only a few exceptions,

the GTR32 or 33 .

Both these hold there resale value better than gtst's etc.

I also looked at a 34GTT drove the thing and it did not compare to a gtr at all.

Why not join the Skyline club with a top gtr32, i like them alot,but could not buy one, because my nephew had one so i bought the 33gtr instead.

You really have to either love your nissans or your toyotas ...so choose your weopens...

I have already chose mine...

C u on the battle arena...

There was a nice looking R32 GTR came up on Prestige just recently and its a 1993 V Spec II

1993 and VSpecII are mutually exclusive. Something smells with that car. Hurrah for FAST software

[cowie165]

And for the record, I have a 17 year old car with an RB26 that puts along nicely.

its not a vspec 2 bro, vspec 2s were only made in 94, its a vspec.

[scottman]

its not a vspec 2 bro, vspec 2s were only made in 94, its a vspec.

Nope, it has a sticker on the back so it must be right!

Yeha, its only a sticker though - j-spec has confirmed its not a vspec2 on their website - either way, its a gtr - and it looks bloody nice

i thought it sounded more like mike whitney from that dodgy Gladiators show that used to be on.
