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.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
