* Important factor is to purchase a goodie in the first place, with logs and complete history if possible > maintenance will be minimised

* Because it's stock, you can expect few breakages if any > maintenance is no worse than a normal car

* If you're the 1st Aussie owner, replace all fluids > major services are at 40,000 80,000 and 100,000km according to the Owner's Manual. The Nissan UK one in English explains it all.

* Comprehensive insurance can be high, but registration is no worse than a normal car

* Fuel needs to be 98RON at every fill

So, welcome to SAU! :thumbsup:

also depends on how you drive the car.

obviously track days, drags and regular fast driving will increase wear and tear as well as costs.

the gtr's generate a lot of heat under the engine bay ( fit an oil cooler and remote filter ) and you have to pay close attention to all the hoses, wiring looms etc as they can be prone to damage quicker than a normal car.

same thing applies if you have coilovers and modified suspension components as these will come under a lot more stress than a normal car.

prevention is a lot cheaper than a cure for these cars, but if you take care of it, then a gtr should be very reliable and a hell of a lot of fun for a long time.

not buying a dodgy pos is the most important tip.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
