1. Save money

2. Invest money

3. re-invest profits from investments

4. buy GTR once annual profits from investments are larger than annual loan repayments, insurance, rego, maintanence, modding, etc.

Unfortunately this may take a while, and some sacrafice....the good thing is the bank will be happy to loan you money based on the value of your investments, and after you've paid off the GTR loan you still have your investments with which will make a nice deposit for a house...

i think the best place to start in my case would be give up the drink, the dinners out, the socialising with friends... and then i may be a chance.

Actually im happy with my GTST and having some cash to do other things. But at $220 per week to own my GTST its going shortly as travelling/working OS attempts are being hamstrung by Skyline ownership. :P

Buying the car is one thing, maintaining it is another. :)

thanks guys,

BTW no offence Mr. 51jay

Well looks like work hard and save save save. Is the way to go. Otherwise i might consider getting myself adopted by a rich family. Although at 27 , i'm not exactly cute no more. hehehehehehe

I like the look of a R33 more than r32, although I know r32 is much lighter then r33 and r34. but I'm willing to sacrifice 0.5 - 1 sec just for the look. Anyway 40k ay?

2 dollars down 39998 to go. Wish me luck!!!!

Work hard and try to be the very best in your field, invest it and then re-invest it until ur financially secure to take on a highly depreciative hobby. i got my first gtr ages ago after a stints with high powered euros and owned a few other nice car since.

So head down bum up

If you look like your avatar i'll adopt you and buy you a r34gtr :wassup:

Keep your eyes and ears open . I've seen an 95 R33 GTR VSpec going for $36k and a 94 R33 GTR for $24k. Didn't enquire further as to why they were so cheap (accident damaged, caned? who knows?), but you might be lucky enough to find a geniunely cheap bargain along the way.

If you're like me, and stop drinking and going out, you'd be surprised as to how much you save :D

I can afford to buy an R32 GTR right now (22, working in IT) but I don't think I can afford its upkeep (insurance, servicing, maintenance, 2x cost to modify compared to GTSt).

Spend wisely, and yeah never spend more than what you have. Don't run up a credit debt, and most importantly budget. Providing you earn over 35K it should be pretty easy for you to get one in about 2-3 years.

Hey Duncan,

You said IT, what exactly about IT. Because I'm doing a little bit of helpdek for mobil. As Hewlett Packard closed shop and moved over to INDIA. I'm trying to get my CNA and I have completed ADVANCE DIP in computer systems. If you know any position going. PLS hook me up.

AS FOR MISTER2 > my name is Hayden not BARBIE GRIFFIN. She's spanish.

    • 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
