Welcome to SAU Tyran.

There are too many variables to be able to answer your question like...

* there are skylines and there are skylines

* we don't know how heavy your right foot is

* the state of tune

* it might have turbo/s or it may not

* how much fuel costs in your area

* insurance varies contingent upon your driver history + your suburb + the type of skyline

* do you drive in peak hour traffic

* automatic Vs manual transmission

* how old and tired the engine is

* driving just yourself or up to 3 others

* registration costs are different according to state

* CTP costs are different according to state

* if you don't own the car outright, the interest on a loan will vary

We can only give you a ballpark figure if you tell us what you're diving now, and also tell us what that is costing you per year; tell us what particular model you're interested in - and perhaps, just perhaps, we can offer you a comparison.

Maybe you can answer some of the above questions too?

Driving a Skyline will cost you your ability to tolerate driving anything NA ever again.

Unless of course you buy an NA Skyline in which case it will cost you the respect of others.

EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSEEEE MEEEEEE.

P

Serious note, NA Skylines are a good way to enter the world of Skylines and RBs. You get used to it before you demolish your first pride and joy (you have no idea how many first turbo cars get written off).

I run a NA R34 with RB25DE Neo, my costs are:

Fuel: $60-$95 per 500 KMs on Premium 98 (prices vary, I use Shell VPower with Coles -8c dockets :ph34r:), I fill up twice a week so $150-$200 P/w for me for suburban driving, squeezed out 600KMs

Rego: Whatever RMS charges, about $250-300 for me plus custom plates

Insurance: 3rd Part fire and theft, about $650-750, Comprehensive is a good $2.3k+ however long you've held your license for (had a quote for $6K fresh off my P's :rofl2:)

That's just figures for my R34 non turbo automanual as a daily car to and from work and plenty of casual driving, regular starts and stops, maybe a few little launches but other than that, no burnouts, no speeding, no revs and suburban driving. Gives you an idea.

I pay $860 for full comp! Wow

 

Who what when how why car license age

I only paid $1050 a year when I was 25 when I had my r33. That was about 6 years ago though (back when a 33 was still worth something). It would've been $950 but I put the missus on the insurance and she was only 23.

21, clean licence, 1993 manual r32 gtst type M, just car insurance.. told them I was paying $1600+ with NRMA and they said $866 yearly. Stoked!

This was after calling around a couple of insurance companies.

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
