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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
