What's one have to do a own a GTR R33

[HappyPuppy]

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...

Or just have had a little luck with property over the last few years, I have been saving hard the last 5 yrs, now I get to collect the rewards.

You think buying it is expensive.... wait until it breaks and you have to fix it!

Gearbox syncro's = bad

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.

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!!!!

happypuppy is about right on the money ... thats why i'm giong to sell my car soon and drive a shitbox... to invest the money on something that makes me money and then later on i will be able to afford a better car

[hungry6]

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:

Save, don't spend more than you have...and stay home on the weekends =)

Geeks are in nowadays anyways, so just surf your life away between long hours and plenty of sweat/stress(depends on your job).

If u want to do it another easy way, buy your house, then borrow against your home loan and get your GTR and pay home loan interest rates.

[MINES_DATSUN]

dude. borrow 20K.. but cheap cars ( E.G ) GTST's and then sell them more.. but make srue you can sell it.. something like that can make you save up a few thousand bucks

[Duncan]

even better than drug dealing or pimping...go into IT

I own 2 skylines and I'm not 30 yet

[sammus]

be more specific duncan what in IT do you do and what position?

[sammus]

i wanna hear what the owners of r34 GTRs have to say :burnout:

[raz0r$harP.UK]

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

[cameron]

what would have you guys/girls done if use were still 15 ?

[MINES_DATSUN]

94 r33 gtr ?

[funkymonkey]

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.

[funkymonkey]

to answer your question, you'll find that the vast majority of skyline owners are IT people, labourers or entrepreneurs.

[inasinman]

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.
