New To The Skyline Scene! Tips?

[Suicidul]

Hello everyone. I am considering coming to the skyline scene from the Supra scene. This weekend I may be swapping my Supra for an r34. Now I know my way around a Supra, what to look for etc when purchasing them as I've built my knowledge up, but I don't know too much about r34s. What should I look for when I go to check the car out? It's an auto (yes I know, I may look into a conversion in the near future) n/a 2.5L GT. I'm still on my P's. Thanks guys

I'd keep the supra if its a manual. Seriously not worth the hassle of converting the 34 from auto to manual unless you want to keep it long term.

The more boost you run the cooler you are.

The auto doesn't really bother me, but has always been a huge factor in me deciding whether to buy a car or not, I would most likely leave it auto as it is. However the 34 has 91xxx kms on it and my Supra is almost at the 218xxx kms range. Whenever I do something to it I feel like I'm polishing a turd where as the 34 seems like a more logical move. I am however enjoying your guys inputs and am strongly considering calling off the trade and keeping the soop.

there is no f**king way that 34 has 91 km. ask for import receipts, clearance certs and do a jap odo check. 10 years at 10-15km a year.

the supra is the better option. honestly. km's dont mean shit if you look after a car.

unfortunately, an na skyline is going to have been driven on the limiter every where from experience

An auto name skyline is ultimate fail.

Factor that into your decision.

I also found the kms a little hard to believe. And I agree. I hate cars with high kms are always thrown to the side. I've had the soup for almost 2 years and have done a tonne of work to it, yet the average person will ignore that as it has high kms. I also KNOW what my car has done, it hasn't been bashed etc. Each mechanic I have taken it to can't believe the kms as it's so clean. I don't want to get rid of my joy to buy someone elses problem. Thanks for the input guys, think I may just stay with my car and maybe see you fellas down the road when I go looking for a GTR

Toowoomba near Brisbane.

In that case there's a Toowoomba thread in the Queensland Forum. Certainly introduce yourself there!

Keep the Poopra.

Supras are way better. They can be painted orange and gay decal stuck on the side. They can also drag and "smoke" Ferrari F355s with a muscular "tuner" in the passenger side with a laptop. 34 skylines dont seem to be able to do that kind of stuff.

[Sklyn]

i agree with the rest, at least till you get off your P's and get a Turbo 34!

But really it's like looking at buying any 15+ year old car, everything could be an issue, K's are pretty irrelevant. So check it out thoroughly and judge the owner as much as the car =)

That may be so, but the Ferrari is more than you can afford, pal.

The question no one's asked yet (unless I've missed it), is which model of Supra? JZA70, MA70...?

Agreed and agreed

[AMR33]

Another question which also no one asked is, why does someone whose nickname is "suicidul" is looking at cars, just saying ....
