Ants Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 FYP Wouldn't sell her, boot is full of rust. Would make more parting out. GTR is expensive tho, the question now is 32 or 33? 33 is nicer IMO but a whale compared to R32 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431233-mugabetown-whoretownin-at-its-worst/page/1122/#findComment-7405797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ants Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Can you afford to buy 2? If no then you can't afford to buy 1 and maintain it.its not that bad Grego Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431233-mugabetown-whoretownin-at-its-worst/page/1122/#findComment-7405799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadmoon Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 33 is nicer IMO but a whale compared to R32 I'm leaning towards the 33. So all I need to do now is save $20,000 and part the SS out for go fast bits money.

No point having a carcass lying doing nothing Then save and buy what you want Plus the issue of it having no compliance or build plate and the paint being in average nick. Also I think you underestimate the extent of the rust...

sneakey pete Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Highflo, injectors pump tune etc, is what, 5K? GTR is 20K, boost T and its making probably 30-50kw less, but has AWD, (more weight) and suspension will be stock, not adjustable. and for 20K you're not getting a pristine one unfortunately. Parts don't break any more than a GTS-t will, but when they do more money potentially, and upgrades do aswell. Twice the turbos, twice the diffs, etc. End of the day look at how much your saving and how quickly, and if you're prepared to get a loan to get one. Or, do HA and instrumentation courses and come work out here for pornstar money.

sneakey pete Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I was in the same dilemma, though i wasn't as far along with my old car at that stage.

sneakey pete Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Its an interesting life for sure. Also, unfortunately, the work is starting to wrap up on this project at least, so there's no guarantee even if you do do the courses i'm afraid, pretty much every industry is like that now though. But yeah (for the tradies), 10 hour days, work 20 days straight, travel, 6 days off, travel, work 20 days straight, repeat. Stay in camps literally in the middle of nowhere, but at least the rooms are decent, food is buffet, gym on site and the like. But yeah it gets lonely, you do get days off during the week to make up for it but most people are working on those days, which is good for going on drives or getting stuff done but not for keeping in touch with folks really. Honestly don't know how people with kids do it, but the financial rewards must be a good part of it.
