I wanna buy a gtr r33... help

[carlo]

I would look around the market before choosing a colour. The reason being is with 2nd hand cars you wont always get your choice of colour. Look around and see what takes your fancy. Normally what happens is you walk into a car yard and see a skyline and say THIS IS MY CAR!!

Hang on so you are all saying that a 4wd 206kw GTR is too dangerous for a young person, but hold on a 206kw GTST is ok???

[Guest Devilish Angel]

but the lights on the 34 look good..

No! They're not! All car's have a limit, and when you break the limit in a 4wd, it'll really let you know about it.. My old man's friend *had* a 4wd subaru liberty. Until he hit a guard rail one day and wrote the car off. He believed that his 4wd car would be safer.

It's not power that kills. It's how it delivers the power. RB25 produces it's power more linear and smothly compared to an RB26, which is pretty much all or nothing.

Also a GTR 4WD is not like a WRX 4WD. WRX's 4WD system make any driver look like a future rally star, where a GTR's 4WD seperates the men from mice.

hey devilish can i come for a ride when you get your GTR lol

[Guest Devilish Angel]

lolz.... first u try to talk me out of it..

n now im considerin a gtt34

now u wanna ride???

i dunno lol... u better b nice

Devilish Angel: Whats the fastest car you have been in ??

Personally i think Gt-t's, gtst's and GTS 25t's are more dangerous then GTR's espically in the wet.

Make sure this is a car you REALLY REALLY REALLY want because at your age thats alot of money which could used alot more productively.

[Guest Devilish Angel]

well i realli realli realli realli realli want a gtr r34

but thats not happening!!

lol

and the fastest probebly an evo vi

[choochoobaa]

cant you just buy a normal car and wait a year or so THEN you might have enough for an r43 gtr?

[Guest Devilish Angel]

im not buying the car..

it'z a bday pressie....

and well ova 100k is outa my price limit anywayz u kno

[Airzone]

Correct me if I'm wrong guys... I'm not entirely sure about the R34 model types... GT-T is a rwd turbo right?

Devilish Angel: You're making a bad decision if you get a turbo car. Anyway, your choice. Crash it and there are more spare parts for the rest of us

[choochoobaa]

yellow r34 NA with a kickass stereo and bodykit should be good enough. whats more important, looks or performance? performance should only be for ppl with a bit more driving experience.

[Guest Devilish Angel]

lolz lookz of course

i don't plan to race..

i don't plan to speed

lol

but i don't like yellow

[choochoobaa]

hehe sorry i was thinking of MY type of car. but seriously if performance dosnt count, why not spend the extra money on a bodykit and stereo? much safer car, and pulls in more looks from guys (and girls )

Ok heres what you do.

As cost of car and insurance isnt the problem, buy your dream R33 GTR.

Now the only thing is the fact that other people think you will right yourself off because of the power. And it would seem you are starting to listen to this.

Simple solution is to get your hands on a Power Fc computer for your car. This allows you to tune the car for more hp. Only what you should do is before the inlet manifold place an orifice, with say a 25-30mm opening.

This will limit airflow and reduce hp, you can tune the ECU to allow for the drop in airflow. You will probably have as much hp as a V6 Commodore, and still have 4wd.

You can also but a butterfly valve in the exhaust that will choke up flow and drop off boost pressure, but this wouldnt be so nice for the turbos.

You still have to respect that any car that moves can be overdriven and crashed, so you still have to be just as careful.

Then as you gain experience and become comfortable with driving, you take out the orifice and re-tune the Power FC and, voila, back to stock hp. (actually more if tuned properly)

Hows that for an idea.

[Guest Devilish Angel]

that is very nice

and thankyou for that

well do you understand though... about the whole concept of it being a gtr???

i dunno mayb itz a "girl" thing but yea

You could do that

or

You could secure a block of wood under the accelerator pedel so you can't floor it.

Devilish Angel: seeing as you have been in a evo6 so you probably know the performance of these cars and you think you can handle it both from a skill side of things and mentality.

Get your GTR and come cruising
