Convince me not to buy an R32 GTR

[tridentt150v]

Just buy a Tesla!!!

[niZmO_Man]

Daily driving, easily GTS-t > GT-R (my Type M even had a sunroof). GT-R not worth the drug money people are asking for. But then GTS-t/GTS4 would be up there as well wouldn't they?

Buy Dose Pipe's R33 haha

[GTSBoy]

GTSt is different sort of drug money. More a spray paint/solvent habit than pills or powder.

GTS-ts are cool ummkay, look at Bradley Sheriff, got put in the naughty corner for going sub 2m09s and then had his lap time removed.

All the Ford/Holden (inserts nice words) would have had a sook big time if they didn't.

Party is over. Buy a some sort of late model BMW M and enjoy the drive. Forget about this JDM hero curse.

 

billet, 1500hp street car, plates dont exist/registered to something else. its all a farce.

What you on about? We all know VW came out with a R32 😂😂😂

Maybe whoever at the RMS put in Amarok instead.

I was so close to getting this back on Nov. ticked all the boxes and was the rare metallic green. Second guessed myself thinking I should get a GT-R instead. Instant regrets

[tridentt150v]

Good thing, thats an ex army version last used in Desert Storm.  The sand killed most of them!!!

[funkymonkey]

thanks lads, good peer support in convincing me to not buy a GTR.

 

just picked up an R32 GTS4 for twice what I paid for the same car 14 years ago.

close to 100k in parts spent/installed/to be installed on a shit box R33 GTS-t  

I entertained the idea of leaving the Nissan world last night to my wife, she said  something along the lines of (including the profanity: "no fking way, you're going to sell it and one day bring home another shit box. I prefer if you keep this shit box"

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Yep, I kept a spreadsheet.. and yes it has over 320+ items. It also excludes any maintenance parts like brakes/rotors/oils/plugs, etc.

 

[DaymoR32]

It starts getting truly crazy if you put an $$ hourly rate on the time you've spent working on the car. 

If my shitbox vanished into a blackhole, the saddest part for me would be all the time lost that I had poured into the car.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

And add in all the times I shouted mates dinner, drinks, Jap BBQ, bottles of whisky, slabs of beer, etc. then add in my time tuning, wiring, hiring dynos, it becomes seriously stupid.

Hence a stock M3 F80 just makes more sense now. Slap on some R compound and out of the box it will do faster lap times than the shit box could ever do.
