If you expect people to take you seriously and answer your questions, learn to talk like an adult instead of a 14yo.

+1

and if its going to cost you heaps to fix - take it to an unsuspecting dealer, trade it in for something thats not going to cost u as much to maintain....

personally - wouldnt have bought that for 14 grand in the first place - 32 gtrs usually around the 20 grand figure if you want a decent one....

[blur]

skool = school????

[frankxinyu]

with the market flooded atm, it is very hard to sell a good decent car...ppl would rather spend money on a cheap but flogged one.

FFS - type in english please!!

I have just read two forums of this crap and it annoys the hell out of me when someone spends more time on MSN than in real life.

I work on a LOT of those cars and I'll say right now you are going to need ANOTHER $15k to maintain it!

these guys KNOW the inherent bugs in these cars - listen to them!

Hey guys, i am very happy 2 say dat I am at last a prowd owner of a R32 GTR!! U guys have no idea how bloody rapt i am! Anyways, I had a few questions to ask, how do i turn off the 4WD light in my dash,wont turn off?? does anyone have any problems wit GTR gearbox/transmission? cause my 1 is much louder once it hits 4gear.. and da transmission in general is noisy.

I live in melb, does ne1 no of a place where i can take it 2 get it lookd at and if possible get it roadworthy? I have to get a roadworthy, as i bought it at a auction. U guys would never guess how much i picked it up 4!.....hmmm... $14,750! dunno wat u guys think but i reckon dats a bargain!

buddy i sincerely hope you're joking when you say that $2500 is all you have left for insurance, service, etc. That might get you through with a decent condition gts-t but not a 32 gt-r of all things.... have fun eating bread and water for the next few months.

All the best mate but a 14000 gt-r will cost you a lot more than 14000. To give u an idea:

Service in la-la land where nothing is wrong with your bargain (filters, belts, oil, air-con, 4WD etc): ~$1000

Back here in the real-world: $1000 + ~$3000 gearbox + $3000*+* insurance + roadworthy + registration + tyres..... you get the point.

Good luck

I find Bulgarian easier to read than this guy's English.

My apologies if English is his second language, my scorn if it's not!

I wont bother trying to flame you with this reply as you're doing a good enough job of that yourself. It is pretty funny that you're 26 and still talk like a 14yo "gangsta" though. If you don't believe me, maybe listen to everyone else on here....they're all singing the same tune...think it's a coincidence..I think not. A big good luck to you with your "bargain" GTR!

p.s. Nice work on spelling sophisticated right.....dictionary.com?

so anyway enough of the shit giving or the thread will be closed

[tjandriesen]

Seriously, you need to get the car to a good mechanic and have him take a look at it. At $14K, we all may be wrong but you would expect it to have a few issues. Look around a bit and you will find several good, serious shop who know Skylines. Many of them will take a look at it for free on the understanding that you will give them business in the future. Once you know what the "real" costs will be, you should consider if you want to keep it or trade it. For 20K you can get a very nice non-GTR car which will be much lower costs to maintain. Part of the pleasure (for me at least) is modding a car how you want it. Spending $$$ on fixing broken things and maintence really diminishes your abilty to do that. Of course if you're good at working on cars, that might be a different situation.

Welcome to the GTR club - it's not a cheap club to be in....

[are33]

When purchasing a car, Think to yourself,

If i can't afford to maintain the car and insure it, I cant afford to buy it - Regardless if you have enough money to make the purchase. Looks like you just went balls and all and bought it without thinking about that.

Oh well.

Good luck i suppose, Let us know when you get off your p's.

(I am 16 and i can spell better then you. If this is a trolling thread then you've done well)

[kay nock]

OK OK.. since everyone has sang the same tune in regards to my typing, I will start writing (as I would in a bloody essay!) I took it to a place in Ringwood (VIC), where apparently thay are well known as being a good store and specialise in GTRs.. Well the verdict was, $2580 (transmission, service etc). Well I guess Im going to have to dig into my savings account again. Once again, thanks to all the people that actually stuck to my topic/questions and their opinions. All the others that seem to be obsessed about my typing and anything else I said, I honestly didn't know guys can moan and cry like that over something so small and insignificant. For any of those interested, I'll post some pics of the car tommorow..

BTW! Me still on Ps?? nah sorry, been off them for quite a while now!

[Phantom32]

hey buddy,

congrats on the purchase! dont worry about the others being anal - they like that most of the time lol (j/k) although at 26 you do write kinda funny

welcome to the skyline club - fingers crossed yours isn't a lemon. Remember, when it comes to these cars - you get what you paid for, so don't cheap out on parts or service or it will cost you twice as much in the long run.

Post up pics of your new baby for all of us to see too

cheers
