If you don't have money to throw towards a decent example GTR and maintenance you may be biting off more than you can chew.

Assess what you want from a car and see if the GTR fits the bill. I know a fair few friends who can't handle cars that need alot of maintenance attention. << You have most likely taken these into consideration I know.

I love mine :D

haha yeah i know a fair few as well, ive seen a 14second Laser AWD Turbo be destroyed but somone who really didnt care for the car and ive seen what happens when people dont look after them.

Im gonna b lookin into them alot more before i go spending that much money on one.

thanks for all this info by the way guys. its helpin heaps.

I have 3 words for you,

Maintenance, Wash, Repeat :P

maintenance on a high performance engine is critically. Sometimes you will forget and say to yourself "when was the last time I did a fluids (engine, gearbox, diffs, cooling) change"?!

One thing I notice with my GtR when doing the gearbox oil the other day is that the front left and right hand side jack points are damaged :P

spend more and get a clean example, and allow for some serious maintence. cars complied under sevs or raws scheme are "generally" better, although ive seen some poor examples of both. get in contact with a workshop that works on gt-rs and pay them for a decent inspection. and i hope you like gunmetal grey!!!

yeh i am in the same situation as well looking for a r32 gtr and i was wondering how important is the number of kms on the engine.

i mean if the car has over 100000kms on it does that mean that its gonna go some time soon even if it has been serviced regularly?

Go for a drive in as many GTR's as you can. You will soon get a feel and be able to tell which ones are good or bad.

Obviously the tidiness of the car is important, but if the engine, trans and suspension is in good order. It is much cheaper to clean up a GTR cosmetically than fix things wrong with the rest of it!

    • That sounds like an excellent idea. But total self-sufficiency means exactly that. You have no-one else to blame when your system faults out and you have no power for a week or two while it gets fixed. You'd have to go the whole hog and get a diesel genny and all the switchover gear, to get you through such times. And, despite the fact that over 20 years, my system has been pretty reliable**, I have seen so many inverter explosions (or less dramatic deaths), panel and roof JB fires, and so on, over that time, to know that the stuff is the same as any other bulk Chinese manufactured stuff. The failure rate is well above zero - both on the equipment and on behalf of the meth addled installation labour force. And then..... warranty and means of redress against the supplier you bought the gear from. Best I can tell is that only a handful of solar companies are still around within 5 years of starting their advertising pitch. They disappear and phoenix like crazy. So, as per 1st paragraph, I suspect the only way to is go balls deep and spend maybe 2-3 times as much as you might think, so that you have every base covered. Plus, know and understand your gear intimately, so you can diagnose problems, sort them out yourself, etc, etc. Plus, probably have to consider upgrading various parts as the years pass, to maintain compatibility with newer stuff, performance and reliability, etc, etc. Whereas, remaining attached to the grid has an ongoing cost that keeps going up even if you use bugger all power from it. But it does provide the fallback in case of the worst case with your own gear. You either pay up front or as you go, I suspect.
    • Add more solar panels to the array. Call the electricity company and tell them you're moving out... Live off grid electric wise
    • Hi Jasmine. How's the war going?
    • I'm extremely suspicious of the VPP stuff. Best I can tell, you surrender any and all control of your panels and battery to the VPP, because there's no way that anyone could write a sufficiently useful set of "rules" as to how much you would be willing to let out of your export meter at any given time. If one of your main interests is to have enough in your battery every evening to get you through the night without having to import, you could easily find yourself with nothing in your battery at the end of the day, or part way through the night, and then be paying import pricing instead of paying nothing. I cannot see how this cannot come to pass.
    • majority aftermarket is an10 yes, but majority of OEM is An12 r35 OEM cooler lines at close to an 12, the hard line that car uses is almost 20mm  Porsche OEM is also AN12   i figure, if our power levels are close to 1000hp, then AN12 should be a must if many OEM standard power vehicles use AN12
