more expensive than my turbo.

+1

[bucket_boy101]

I'm new to the whole buying a car thing (basically got the thirty-one I have now off a friend of my Mum's for practically nothing). What do you wastelanders think I should pay for a 4-door and 2-door NA 34? They seem to start at around 8500 and I don't want to pay over 10000 if I can avoid it.

[xALmoN]

7-8.

Don't bother with n/a 34.

Just play around with the 31 or chuck a LS1 in said 31. Could spend it on other useful things like booze or travelling etc.

[bucket_boy101]

Nah, the 31 is nearly dead. Keeps losing power and I don't know why. I have a feeling that it wasn't too well looked after before I had it, but you can never know these things.

[Count Grantleyish]

The beauty of a 31, replacement motor is $100, couple of mates and few slabs will solve that.

Or just need a decent service with new plugs, leads etc?

[Miguelone]

Yeah 31's are cheap and easy.

Tbh you'd be better off buying an NA 33 than a 34 price wise. Apart from the styling and wheelbase they're much of muchness. The 33 has better build quality too.

[bucket_boy101]

The two NA GTS's on Carsales are 10K plus, and one is a 32 with a 33 engine in it.

[Count Grantleyish]

What the f**k?

Spend that 10k on things I've mentioned (not all of it).

Or leave the money in your bank and buy a turbo skyline when you're off your P's (which I assume you're after one cos you're on your P's).

[Count Grantleyish]

On another note, I'm out, night all.

[bucket_boy101]

That's true, I'm on P's Thanks for your help, anyway Grant.

keep the 31. we can help you diagnose. or #@Miguelone can help with diagnosis, i will just sit back and drink beer.

It's a buyer's market and the fact these cars cost more than their turbo equivalents says they are ridiculously and artificially inflated in value by the P plater laws. Just because they are listed for that doesn't mean they are selling for that. Make offers and be patient / organise a back up plan for your ailing 31. The worst thing you can do is rush into buying a car because of impatience, or be forced to find one quickly because of need.

[bucket_boy101]

Thanks for the advice, it's appreciated as it's all new to me. I have a grand put away to service the 31 should I not be able to get a 34 quickly. Just got my rego renewal on the 31 today anyway.

[krzysiu]

Sucks when a rego renewal is worth more than the car

[Sunkist]

Any of you ordered from Just Jap lately? How long is their shipping time atm? Need something urgently..

They went on leave over Xmas for a month, but they're back now and sent out my simulator withing a day

Sad, but true.

wait a second.... is kris that dude that is always getting bagged on here...?

also, am I the only person who prefers the R34 s1 or s2 stock bumber over the altima kit (or whatever its called)

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

It started life as a shot, so in that form 1/3 each works well. Soho first, then milk...gives a fluffy/curdled texture. Then baileys (or Kahlua if you prefer a coffee taste) on top will give the "dirty" looking part. Hence the name Dirty Nappy.

As a sipping drink I would adjust the ratios in favour of more milk. And don't serve it to Asians.

Dirty Nappy CSB:

At one of our SAU Vic Mt Bulla cruises, we were playing drinking games of jenga (undefeated champion right here). We needed a shot for the losers and I mixed some random shit together. It came out looking like a dirty nappy, thus the name. Problem is, people actually liked it...so now I make it on the regular at parties

Still need to try Malibu and milk. I enjoy milk based alcoholic beverages muchly.

OMG QUIT WITH THE GIRLY-MAN DRINK FAGGOTRY!

I personally prefer the R33 kit, or the R32 kit (34's look shit)

[kaitoukid]

If auto, I think you'd be able to grab one for =< 10K, relatively easily? Gl with the search!

Inflated prices for NA or not, it is what it is. Whether it's worth it for you is for you to decide.

Edit: Leroy I'd take S1 or Altia over S2.
