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 :P 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

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...

Regards

Tekin

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

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
