R34 Question

[mick86]

Hi, first post on here! I've spent a few hours searched the forum for threads concerning R34 gt-t's and i have learnt plenty, however, lots of the threads were REALLY old, so i just wanted to get some updates on the info.

I want to sell my current car and im looking for a turbo for less than $20,000, theres plenty of choice out there, but i love the R34 and i have been reading up on the gt-t. I have found a few for just under $20,000 or near that mark, reasonable KM's on them, excellent condition from what i can see, pretty stock, would this be worthwhile getting? I know you get what you pay for, but is it wise to buy a R34 Gt-t for that price?

If not, what would you recommend? I have been looking at s14's (series 2 mainly) and supra non turbo's, however im quite keen on a skyline, and inparticular, an R34. Thanks for any help, and yes i have searched the forum and read many threads, so im sorry if i missed one that answers my question!

Thanks,

Michael

I've bought 2x 34GT-t's for about that sort of coin and have been happy with both of em... where ya located? If in Bris I have a silver 4-dr for sale at $18K

Seriously, each car will vary by condition - you can't be too thorough, and always have a good drive of the car before deciding.

Yeah, although prices on manuals are plummeting - picked up my modified 34 (250rwkw) for $26K

I have seen a few, not many though, manual's for just under 20k. But mrgilly i will definately keep yours in mind. If im going to do this, it will be in the next month hopefully. Just gotta find out what costs would be involved in getting a car from another state, since im located in NSW. So 120k KM's is acceptable on these engines? As long as they are in good/reasonable condition?

120,000ks on these motors is nothing as long as its been serviced regulary and looked after. my 33 had 114,000 on it and ran the same as it did with 70,000ks on it because I serviced it regulary used good oils and parts and was kind to it.
