you are all neglecting a few important things from the usual petrol and oils ... ;)

insurance

registration

brake pads

tyres

my running cost works out to be about $1000 NETT a month.

this comprises of a $33.5k car lease + budgeted $5k a year worth of running costs (all aforementioned ie. insurance, servicing etc)

my car has ~200rwkw and averages 13L per 100km

Well true, in that case mine is also $1000/mth (just think, I used to tell my gf on a regular basis that she cost too much to maintain... compared to a skyline I could have 4 gf's now).

But would one of them put that same silly grin on your face? ;)

Hey, it is a myth about the 25 thing, the insurance doesn't drop just overnight. Always do a bit of looking around for the insurance as there is big $$ differences.

$1000 a month is probably pretty fair though, I would be in the vacinity of $1500 a month, but that is due to a hefty loan, but that will end this year.

i spend around 40-50 bucks a week on fuel going to Uni, out with mates, cruising etc..

servicing once every 4-6 weeks (depending on how much i drive) which is under 100 for a regular (oil+oil filter and sometimes top up someother fluids) and around 300 with brake pads, sparks, etc etc..

insurance is 3600 a year but i dont owe anything on the car so thats around 600 bucks including insurance a month

oh yeah but thats without mods :D

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
