Finally after going on 9 months of my car sitting at the panel shop, my insurance has finally desided that it isnt worth fixing and are just gonna write it off :thumbsup: so now i have to move on :) . and thats where i need help i'll have bout 17-18k to play with. i would like a r32 gtr but everyone keeps telling me they're too old, too expensive to fix, an insurance will cost a fortune, so i would like to get the opinion of some one who actually owns one.

apart from the gtr im thinkin bout either another r33 gtst, a r34 gtt, or a chaser. but would consider pretty much anything (aslong as i can fit in the drivers seat, being 6'4" causes alot of problems).

You're a bit stuck in limbo Skyline-wise for that price. A decent R34GTT is over $20k (shitboxes can be had for less though). A decent R32GTR is over $20k (shitboxes can be had for less though). For that price range I would find a tastefully modded and mint condition R33GTSt that all the money has been spent, and you can just drive, rather than fix up all the time.

not interested in wrx's heard about and seen to many things gone wrong with a used wrx, news ok but out of my budget, i was told i could get a r32 gtr in really good condition landed and complied for 17k, but the more i have the better, as for the 33gtr it is a possibility, i mite be willing to increase my budget slightly if the right one come round, my boss picked up a really nice r34 4door a month ago for 16k, so they are out there just gotta be patient and keep an eye out...

Hey mate. Im the same, im 6'4 and used to drive a 33 s2 gtst then r34 gtt (both coupes). 33 feels way bigger in every way to r34, but i kind of missed my leg-room from the 33.

Like Nightcrawler said previously, ur budget is a bit borderline. I suggest you wait for a little bit longer and save up, in the mean time prices will fall even more, and then hopefully you can get a decent 33 GTR for around $22k mark.

So obviously 33GTR is my no1. choice for that money (and trust me i put a lot of thought into this as i sold my 34 GTT recently and almost got a 33 GTR, but then a house popped up and cars now on delay.)

Good luck !

hey mate. u said you were interested in a 32 gtr.... soooooo many things to consider and if you are going to buy one you will want it heavily inspected...

a thrashed gtr will cost you alot of money once things start going wrong but if you are lucky enough to find a good relatively standard example with a few handling mods GET IT

6 months later and im still grinning from ear to ear about mine.. even tho i cant drive it for 2 more months (liscence) i love going out and tinkering with it and just going over everything replacing the little things to make sure its all in good condition...

they are time consiming and requir patience.. especially with your right foot... on the other hand if you want to keep the revvs under 5 grand vast majority of the time... not too much should go wrong with a good example...

if your planning on getting a car to keep for a long time get a 32 gtr maintain it and mod it tastefully to your needs.... the sky is the limit with these things... and the wallet is the other limit.

extremely safe cars if treated correctly

good luck with your descision

Bought an R32 GTR about 9 months ago and havnt looked back since. Had a few issues at the start but just make sure you get it thouraly inspected before purchase. The car you buy really depends on what your personal tastes are. If your keen on an R32 dont let the age be a barrier as there are plenty of clean examples still out there if you look hard enough.

Whats with R32 GTR's and ppl losing their licence's LOL (lost mine recently). I'd get an R32 GTR, Mine was $24 without all the on road shit ya gotta pay but get a decent stock one and sould be around 20. Shouldnt take long to save up abit extra? Well worth it. but yeh, like every one else has stated, get it heavily inspected.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
