jukic.j Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hey So I have been a Skyline fan since I was a kid and unfortunately never had opportunity to make a car purchase a Skyline... Until now! I'm looking to get something cheap for my first one but still an R34, turbo, manual. something I can put my business logo on AND be the beginning of my motor sport for me. I think I have it nailed down to these 2 cars but i'm open to similar if you see any! The basic pro differences to my eyes are Navy: FMIC 19 inch Akita wheels Adjustable rear camber arms 171,000KM White: Heavy duty clutch Drilled and slotted rotors with extreme motorsport pads Turbo timer 138,000km Here is my assumed on road costs. Let me know what you recommend and why NAVY BLUE Purchase $9,500 Insurance $304 Registration $1,037 Coil packs $600 TOTAL COST $11,441 WHITE Purchase $11,500 Insurance $304 Registration $0? TOTAL $11,804 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/404663-help-me-get-my-first-skyline-purchase-right/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
r31slpr Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Im pretty sure theres a thread on here somewhere about buying a skyline and what to look for. Chuck up a link to the cars, people might be able to help more with more info Have you done a revs check on the cars? Why's rego so expensive on the blue one? How much do you know about cars? Will you be doing work yourself? What colour do you like? White is easier to keep clean than blue Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/404663-help-me-get-my-first-skyline-purchase-right/#findComment-6444500 Share on other sites More sharing options...
