hey people,

At the moment im juggling between getting an R34 GTT or an R32 GTST

my only problem is if i get the R34 im gonna be financing half of it but in return i will be getting a car thats 10 years younger then the other, hence the lack of headaches and cash going into fixing problems.

Anyone here done financing on a car like this? is it worth paying interest in return for getting the car straight away?

And the next question is: Is driving a 93 R32 expensive to maintain and fix as problems come ?

If im missing anything let me know and i'll re explain.

thanks people!

hmm, dosnt sound like u can really afford the 34.

unless ur making plenty of money and can pay it off quite easily i wouldnt do it.

if u get a good condition 32 i couldnt see how ud be spending heaps of money on fixing things...i havnt found owning a 32 anymore expensive than owning a ford laser and a honda prelude (except for fuel consumption ofcourse, hehe)

stick with wat u can afford, dont put urself in a whole lot of debt for sumthin thats only going to depreciate.

Can't go past the 34 best looking skyline ever. going in the red is definately worth it for a car like that, especially when you hit the red and hear it ping like no tomorrow oh yer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! insurance around the $1700 mark.

If you're gonna keep the car for a long time than I'd say go for the r34.

Look at what you can realistically afford to spend every month including fuel & insurance etc.

I used to have an r33, now I have an r34 I'm never looking back :(

r34, most important factor.. the age of the car. no disrespect for all r32 owners out there..

my insurance for my n/a r34 gt-4 is 2.5k/year.. i'm financing 1/2 the amount of the car to repay in 3 years. not that much.. make sure your money is going to be constant..and go for the r34. =)

i got an R32 gtst, not expensive to run at all really, unless u buy a bomb you should be right, just make sure you service it regularly to keep it that way. I would of bought an R34 but i figured, first car, might aswell start off with something a bit cheaper to buy and insurance wise, mind you my insurance is 3k fully compo, with basic mods. I plan on upgrading to an R34 Gtt in a few years when i have some no claim bonus :ninja:

good luck with your descision, if you can manage it, i would go the 34 :P

I don't know why people don't like finance. You can't get a good credit rating without getting into debt...

Getting into debt when you're young is a great idea as long as you're smart enough to repay it in a timely manner.

Buy an R34 and live with a newer car every day and a good credit rating in 3 - 5 years time.

As for insurance, that's what the telephone is for... Justcars insurance 131326.

following what was said, not many people DONT have a financed car, for people who are a bit older (i mean like 25 - 30, not old :ninja:) theres no way you can buy a house, car and whatever comforts you want around the home without some sort of finance. shop around, sometimes if you know what your doing it can work out cheaper to use a credit card, theres all sorts of tricks to get your interest % lower.

has anyone got any insurance estimates on the 2 cars for a 21 yr old driver ? thanks

Varies slightly depending on postcode where car is garaged, driving history etc.

I'm 19 & have full comprehensive with just cars with a premium of $1600, although I've got a no claim bonus because I've been with them for 2 years. (A new policy for me would cost around the $3200 mark)

20, previous suspension of license, 93 r33 gts-t, agreed value of 15k, decent area, 2 way alarm, imob, minor mods, a big black guy in the boot only $1900 for my first year.... not bad really.

Just make sure when you crash you write it off or do enough damage to the panels it's costing more then your excess ;)

or you know... don't crash, hahahahahaha

Hard choice you've got there though, R32 GTS-t is a nice car (I've test drove 'em all, R32, R33, R34) and the R34 is a new sexy beast. I went the 33 as it was in the middle nicely, bit heavy... would prefered a R32 after owning it a bit (though with a RB25).

I'd suggest a R32 with the RB25 conversion, make sure it's a good job and no overheating issues and you'll be ace (also have rb25 gearbox).

Good luck!

Edit: I said I was 19... I'm 20... almost 21... idiot!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
