Mr jaydee Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 hey guys, im new to the skyline scene, been wanting a gtr r34 since the first time i played gran turismo waaayyyy back in the day many many many years ago and now i've come to the point where i can consider getting one. So i was just after some quick advice on a few things. first of all, i've owned a my99 wrx for 4 years and loved it, but its time to get something different, was considering a newer sti, but for the same price i much rather the GTR =) so, i'll be 23 by the time i buy a GTR in a few months (please no flaming me over my age) and wondering if anywhere here is around my age with a GTR. just curious into the type of insurance they are paying (i plan to go with famous most likely, and will get a online quote soon) as insurance will be a big factor into getting the car, i really wouldnt want to spend more than 4 grand a year on it. living in a pretty nice neighbourhood. but moving on. i've seen a few stock standard GTR's going for around 45k here in aussie.. is that to cheap for a GTR R34, as i've been told it sounds to cheap by a few people. buying one here in aussie would save the hassle of importing, but if im going to get a much better deal importing thats what im going to do. which brings me to japan auctions, i've seen a few skylines online including a gtr r34 vspec for 43k with some standard mods (suspension, exhaust, fmic, etc) does that sound to cheap for a vspec? (of course this wouldnt be including the stamp duties and stuff associated with importing) and last of all.. to vspec or not to vspec.. i seen that vspecs go for a little more, is it worth spending the extra money for a vspec or is the standard GTR pretty good as it is. my budget is roughly 50k (this is why importing looks so attractive as i can get a gtr with all the basic mods done for me) i would love a vspec II, but my pockets are not that deep haha. if anyone could offer any usefull assistance that would be great. thanks in advance jaydee Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/212914-some-gtr-r34-advice/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRGTR911 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Mate Im 21 and i own 2 R34 GTR'S , My first Car was a 03 WRX , You simply cant compare the Both, THE R34 GTR By Far In My Eyes S**** All over it . Advice to you. Try and buy one local , I Bought one from overseas and one from here, Too much headaches importing one your better off buying it local spending a bit extra and have a clear conceince . All those Ones you see for 45k Are Rubbish , Ive seen them for myself ,Anything you see Between The 50-70 K Mark will be a good quality car. Good Luck...

Laurence Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 There are lots of ways to get a R34 when you are still young. Some involve debt, some don't. Let's not gay up this thread with that sort of stuff. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/212914-some-gtr-r34-advice/#findComment-3762184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
