19 year old can't afford an R34 GTR?

Why not?

I am 20 years old. I own a heavilly modified R33 GTS-T and have been looking into getting an R34 GTR Vspec II.

I earn $51,000 a year and I live in Tasmania so the same position in the mainland would be fetching around $75,000 as Tasmanian wages are gerenally lower.

I obviously don't have the money to buy an R34 GTR upfront but with my income and my very low cost of living a Bank would be glad to lend me the money to buy one. I could probably save up $10,000 fairly quickly for a deposit if I didn't already owe $18,000 from my R33 :thumbsup:

When my brother was 21 years old he was on $96,000 a year in Western Australia.

A 19 yr old wanting to buy an R34 GTR....????Since when does working at McDonalds pay that sort of cash...?

Yeah, what a dill - a 19 kid buying a $50K car (a good r34 GTR would cost this much nowadays) - whatever... he's just wanting to know which is faster for his stupid childish mind and thought he'll throw in an ego-driven line or two... whatever... :P

You're brother's 21 and he earns $96K, shut the fark up ... executive managers fetch around that much, unless he's a genius ... he'll be lucky to be on $50k... move on and let the flaming continue ffs... :P

This is very realistic for a tradie working over in the WA mines.

ud have to be nuts to go for a WRX, first theyre 4 door- not exactly a sports car, and i think from memory its got a 1.9 litre 6 cylinder engine in comparison to a 2.6 litre GTR the stocky RX has the same engine capacity as the WRX.... u figure it out u have turbo to boost it up and family car sized engine .... u figure it out

Your looking at two fairly different types of cars here. On the one hand you have a rally bred zippy 2L 4 banger with tight ratios and 4 doors (nothing wrong with 4 doors by the way) thats pretty reputable, but hasn't got very far you can go with it performance wise. On the other hand you have a legendary sports car that still competes with most new supercars despite being nearly a decade old (motor magazine)... which has got more top end, more torque, better equipped and more likely to be collectable and has sooooooooo much tuning potential. Besides all the stats match ups... ITS A f**kING GTR!!!!! But realistically, for a 19 year old to own either one makes you a lucky f**ker. best of luck

couldnt help but drop in my 2 cents.

Flammers above... just because you fail at life and don't have a decent job doesn't mean other people can't.

I am a Systems Support and Development Officer for the state government and I am 20 year old and I live in Tasmania were public servents get paid a fair bit less than the mainland.

My brother is a Geologist for Newcrest, When he was 21 he had a science degree with first class honors, Newcrest offered him a job, flew him to WA, paid for his accomedation ect. and put him on $96,000 a year starting wages. Hes now 24 and on a lot more than that living on the gold coast.

Any way enough of that.

A friend of mine... WHO IS 19!!! just brought a 1999 WRX STI. Took me for a drive and I was not impressed. was under powered, not how I suspected.

I mean when my R33 was standard it felt soo much more powerful. My mates stock NA R31 wagon feels quicker and my mate was giving it all its got trying to show off his STI.

Man get a GTR... it would be stupid not too. Even an R32 GTR would put an STI to shame. Too many people get them and wank over them and say they are the best things on the planet. I would have to say tho the Jap spec ones they are called the 22B I think, 2.2L. They have like 257Kw I think (from wikipedia), MASSIVE loads more than the Aus versions, there is one getting around where I am and it just puts Aus spec WRX to shame somefin cronic.

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
    • Plazmaman 76mm Pro Series, done. Data to back it up, I posted up somewhere here a few years back
