Okay,

I've been looking for a few solid months and I can't find jack in NSW.

What I'm looking for:

A clean, near to stock, 4-door R34 GT-T that's P-plate friendly for the duration of my P-plate license (a year and a half).

What I can't find in this state for a reasonable price:

So.

My question to you Skyline fanatics is, what should I get until I can buy turbo?

Should I even do this?

Something that will hold it's value, something cheap and nasty even, fire me some suggestions!

Maybe an old pre-90's Skyline lol, what's the maintenance costs like on those bad boys?

What do you guys reckon?

Many thanks,

Ding

Im looking to sell my 34 N/A....just about to get off my P's....2 door coupe, auto, well maintained.

otherwise find a shitbox and save for a nice turbo when you get your full licence.

VS-VT commodore, cheap, you can destroy it and parts are a dime a dozen and no cop attention. Another advantage with say a VT commodore is you can have traction control, ABS and airbags some things that the R31's just dont have and they will also look after you better in a crash.

i was in ur position and iv just bought a r31 and driving that for another 2 years till i get on my fulls then im jumping on a r33 gtr or gtst. not worth blowing your money on a non turbo and then after getting a real shit resale value

Alright.

The tribe has spoken, and their words ring with truth.

I'm gonna get something else for now and then get that R34 GTT 4 door /cream.

Thanks guys.

lol, I'm looking at a Cressida, don't wanna spend much.

most people thrash and or crash their first cars... its just a fact... no one is a good driver instantly

get something that you dont mind killing :P

Maybe better of with something like this if you want a bigger car for the moment.

1998 vt Berlina on GAS, Less kms then most Cressida's, around 10 years newer, Alot safer e.g. Air Bag( don't wanna sound like a parent lol), cheap to run, easy parts cause they are everywhere. Just any idea tahts all..

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
