Hyundai Excel!

You'll have spare for insurance etc if you get that. Cheap to run and quite reliable too. I've got 3 uni friends that got them and not much problem selling too (they probably made a loss of 100-300 after using it for 2yrs).

corolla ftw..

my cousin bought one for 1500 bucks about 10 months ago, runs to redline all day everyday, he's crashed it twice and it still goes fine.. cheap as chips to run.

edit just saw your budget is 6k..

go for a ae101 toyota levin.. 120kw's, 180torques.. will redline to 8400rpm all day everyday...

excel... cheap, easy, about a million of them to choose from, pretty user friendly, easy to fix if broken, did i mention cheap...

also, something no one has pointed out yet... when you buy and excel you will be even more motivated to save faster to get the R34 cause you will be embarrassed...

Thanks for the suggestions guys, really dont want an excel though.

My concern with the excel is that I will f**king die if i have a crash.

Just found out that i can pay an extra $1000.00 to insure my mums Audi TT with Just Car which means ill be able to drive it until I get the GTR.

Think thats the way ill go. All its gonna cost me is a $1,000 (cause ill only need 1 year to save the money) + fuel

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
