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.

This was after calling around a couple of insurance companies.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
