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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
